DESIGN AND BUILD:
The Zeus A-350 Speakers look just like any other multimedia speaker system. Its three-piece ensemble comprises two speakers with RCA input cables and one sub-woofer unit where users can control and tweak the audio according to their preferences.

The two treble satellite boxes, each carrying a 2.5-inch tweeter, are clad in a fiber mesh and an overall plastic build. No need to worry about accidentally dropping the speakers since they are designed to be dustproof and shockproof; at least, that is what the manufacturer says.

The main unit that houses the 4-inch subwoofer, on the other hand, comes in a standard cube form with a matte finish. Upfront, there's the speaker's volume control, while on its right side are its buttons for Bluetooth mode, next/previous track, subwoofer control, as well as an LED indicator, a USB slot, and an SD card slot. This means that the Zeus A-350 speakers can play audio from other sources apart from using a Bluetooth connection. Situated at the back are the controls for bass adjustment, audio input, power switch, power cable, and the audio input.

At first glance, you might not notice a thing that would tell that the Zeus A-350 speakers system is a budget buy, but a closer look will reveal some of its unpolished touches, including its roughly placed and plastic-made buttons panel.
One thing we appreciate about the Zeus A-350 is that it doesn't have messy cables since it is a Bluetooth speaker. This means that one can easily place and transfer the speaker system anywhere in the house without dealing with clustered wiring.
PERFORMANCE:
Since the Zeus A-350 is a budget speaker, we weren't really expecting that much in terms of its audio performance. Testing it using a number of songs in various genres, it rather proved itself to be a decent choice, offering a sound quality that's at par with its pricing.

On its Shopee store, Zeus claims that the Zeus A-350's subwoofer delivers a "powerful bass shock," but using the speakers proves that this is just a marketing ploy. The bass production of the Zeus A-350 is noticeably lacking, although this might not be an issue for those who are not really bass heads.

Despite falling short in the bass department, the Zeus A-350 played well in delivering acceptable mids and highs. This speaker system is a decent choice for those looking for an audio companion for binge-watching sessions and movie marathons, although take note that setting it beyond 60% in volume would entail brittle sounds.
As mentioned earlier, an impressive feat of the Zeus A-350 is its connectivity options. Setting up its Bluetooth connection is a seamless task, and even the connection stays intact even when the music source is approximately 10 meters away from the Zeus A-350.
PRICE AND AVAILABILITY:
The Zeus x Fujisan A-350 2.1 speaker system is currently priced at P799 from its original price of P1,999. Get it through Shopee via Zeus Official Store at https://bit.ly/zeusofficialstore.
FINAL WORDS:
For those always on the lookout for affordable alternatives, especially for devices, you might want to add the Zeus A-350 to your Shopee carts, especially if you're not that very particular with overall sound quality.
