![]() The Polaroid P2 isn't the most expensive speaker, but it is a tad pricey for what it offers - namely good looks but a lack of distinctive sound quality. That means there's no Equalizer for improving your experience. However, it's more for discovering curated music stations created by Polaroid, rather than tweaking any settings. Thanks to distortion, the Polaroid P2 isn't really a strong contender for our list of the best party speakers (opens in new tab) either. Combined with its looks, we're instantly left thinking this is a speaker best for a younger audience who aren't yet reaching for audiophile sound quality. It's all alright, but you won't exactly appreciate the finer details and subtleties offered by such classics. It has been replaced by the Cube+, which sells for. ![]() Higher frequencies struggle here too, with something like David Bowie's Under Pressure lacking finesse. Update on May 30, 2017: The original Polaroid Cube (non-Wi-Fi) is discontinued, however, it can still be found for approximately 60. But if you pay close attention, you'll realize it's more like listening to something on the radio. Listening to something like Come Together by The Beatles might sound loud. However, that leads to distortion, which further affects the lack of crispness. Volume is everything here and the Polaroid P2 can get pretty loud if you crank up the dial. While it has more bass than you would expect for a speaker of this size, it's still nothing special. The Polaroid P2 isn't the worst-sounding speaker, but it needs more clarity. The volume dial of the Polaroid P2 is a real highlight (Image credit: Jen Allen) Polaroid P2: Sound quality The only standout practical feature is being able to pair the Polaroid P2 with another of the same type of speaker to produce stereo sound. There's no waterproofing here, not a hint of an IPX rating. On the other hand, that's where the cool features stop. The first time you notice it, you'll smile. Once the song plays, lines bounce up and down on the screen in time with the music. Play a song and you'll see its title gradually come across the screen letter by letter. Turn the speaker on and it turns into a Tamagotchi-esque hive of activity. Between the two speaker grilles is a black circle. A rubber door pulls out on the right-hand side to reveal a 3.55mm jack port and USB-C connector for charging. On the bottom is a rubber grip which means the Polaroid P2 can stably rest on any flat-ish surface. We loved how satisfying it felt to dial the volume up or down with it. It's a chunky wheel that feels like something from days gone by. None of these are tactile with not even a dot sticking out to help you identify them in the dark, but they're sunken down, so you should be able to feel your way around. There's a vibrant red power button along with playback controls. It looks like a toy speaker rather than a real working one. After all, why would you go for an uninteresting color scheme when there are so many other options? Polaroid P2: Design and features We wouldn't be surprised if one or more color schemes end up seeing a discount before the others, and we're counting on one of those being the black one. In all cases, the color relates to the speaker units and outer edge of the speaker, while the rest of the Polaroid P2 is white. In the US and UK, it's available in five colors – blue, gray, red, yellow, and black. The Polaroid P2 was released in September 2022, priced at $129.99/£119.99, which is around AU$192.

Even though I don’t feel like Logan Paul’s photography is worth so much in terms of its artistic merit, he’s doing something innovative and creative. For example, you can choose the colour of his robe and shorts for his next fight or even walk him out to the ring! The NFT space is an interesting one. Logan Paul’s 99 originals offer some cool NFT perks which increases the value. So-the big question remains: are Logan Paul’s photos worth tens of thousands of dollars? I’d say no, but that doesn’t mean there’s no value. He struggles with both composition and storytelling at times. Though some photos are excellent, many of them could use some more work from an artistic perspective. They have special meaning to Logan and his followers and make for a cool NFT project, especially compared to other NFTs that have gained popularity. Logan recently picked up photography and, overall, he’s done a good job with the 99 Originals. Final Thoughts on Logan Paul’s Photography The framing could use a bit of work, and there’s too much emphasis on the landmark, which everyone takes pictures of.
