Right off the bat the LUXA2 GroovyW (despite crying out for a better name) has an air of quality about it. The box has a soft card coating, and mixes glossy with a matt finish. It details a lot about it too, giving you a breakdown of all the most important features.
The box itself actually opens up via a small cloth pull tab, which loosens the magnets holding the side in. This gives you a look at the speaker itself behind a plastic covering, as well as a near idealistic scenario (no digestive?) with what the GroovyW could look like once you have it home.
Along with with the speaker itself, you get a set up manual which does a fantastic job of showing you how to do things. All the instructions are based around big, obvious diagrams that make the whole process of leaning how to use the GroovyW a doddle.
You also get a leather carry bag which only just about fits the speaker in lengthways, a USB to micro USB cable and 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable.
While the speaker might have a good few hours of play time in it, the real extended power comes from this little power pack. It uses induction charging so it only requires that you place the speaker on top of it to instigate the power transfer.
However, you will need to charge the plate itself, which means plugging it in via USB. There is no mains plug for this one, so you will be stuck using your PC or laptop unless your smartphone charger has a USB connector.
Unfortunately due to problems with shipping, the charge plate of my review sample was damaged slightly. It did not affect the review however.
