1. Its not quite the same. It requires a wifi connection and lacks a lot of the functionality of the remote (volume, power button, settings missing)
2. I mean doubling the USB port as an alternative charging port such that I can go on holiday, forget the power brick and use my friend's UBS-C mobile charging power-cord
3. Ok but built-in shutter would be superior
4. I don't think I can get 20+ hours .... testing now
5. Ok
6. High capacity power banks that people carry around with them tend to be 5V at 3A, it would be cool it could take that.
7. Ok

***Please note that I think this is an AMAZING product and I do love it however if you need to use it as a bluetooth speaker and be ultra portable (i.e. chuck it in your backpack) then it falls a little short. If the above were implemented, nobody would consider the competition. ***

Hi Nothing connected, it is out of the box.

The Anker Nebula Mars II will last 30h on bluetooth speaker mode. I expected similar performance or higher given that the battery is 50% greater than that of the Anker.

1. App controlled vs having to use a remote. Remotes can be lost and are an additional item to carry.
2. Ability to recharge using USB-C: This would massively improve portability as it would not require to carry a power brick around.
3. Protective shutter: Again, if you carry it in your bag, being able to protect the lens would be a bonus
4. True bluetooth speaker mode: turning the LED off is a poor substitute for having a power optimised solution which bypasses the OS and gives 15-20 of playbacks.
5. NETFLIX
6. Ability to juice it up using a powerbank
7. Automatic horizontal Keystone ajustment: the screen is wonky unless the lens is perpendicular to the wall.

Hi there,

Is it possible to use the Halo as a bluetooth speaker without having the fan blowing? I understand that you can turn the LED off but the system is still running and the battery drains really quickly.

The battery still drains really quickly as a result. a 17000 mAh battery used for sound should last a long time but it doesn't owing to the power hungry fans running at full blast eventhough the LED is off.

Thanks in advance.
