Let me start by saying I have bought so many different types and brands of these speakers that it's unbelievable. I have had at least 20+. (I've given all but 1 away now...) This is the best 1 Hands Down!!!! It is heavy enough to give just enough loud but not shaky-sounding bass, as well as supreme quality sound with the mid's low's & high's too! I've never had this brand speaker before but it connected easily via Bluetooth & I think it'd be SOOO perfect for a pool party w the EXTREMELY long lasting battery! & the loud sound that actually has some range to it! Or u could even just listen to it while you clean or vacuum around the house. Not one wire needed! I Adore this! I've never been so happy with a speaker as I am with this 1!!! I say if you are on the fence, buy it or you'll regret it! :) That's just in MY opinion. Hagd!

I liked that it played really well with my phone and the other devices I tested inside the house but it wasn’t so great outside. I knew it wouldn’t of been as loud due to open space but I really couldn’t enjoy the music as much. Well the event I brought it for is done and I love using it in my bathroom to get me in a good mood while I shower. It’s loud enough to cover my bad singing, so that’s a plus. And my 3yr old loves dancing and singing with it as well.

I enjoyed a couple of weeks of playing golf with my son-in-law in the Lake Charles Louisiana area a couple of months ago. I found it interesting that nearly everyone in a golf cart on those courses had a portable speaker bluetoothed to their mobile device enjoying music between shots. Rather than being distracting as I would have thought as a traditional golfer, it lightened the atmosphere and I found it relaxing and enjoyable. So when I returned to the Washington Metro Area I decided to pick up one I could use. I didn't want to spend too much as it'll likely get banged around a bit bouncing in a golf cart or thrown in my golf bag and probably get exposed to the elements as I play in the rain, snow, etc. So when I saw this on sale for less than $30 and the reviews looked pretty good I nabbed one. In addition to the price and reviews I liked the fact that this unit provided the ability to charge other devices - blue-toothing an iphone for a 5 hour round of golf while using an iphone app to determine yardage to the hole can drain the phone's battery fairly quickly so I figure this bit would come in handy. So how do I like it? For the price it's hard to complain so I won't. The unit seems pretty rugged. It seems like it'll be fine in the weather. It's certainly heavy enough to not bounce around too much. The neon colors available make it less likely that I'll accidentally leave it behind somewhere. The device charging piece works well. It's quite easy to use. In terms of sound quality, it's OK. Make no mistake, this is not a Bose speaker. A lot more bass would be nice. Having the ability to tune the bass/treble, etc would be nice. The volume range is adequate for riding in a golf cart or playing music on a deck table while you smoke a cigar and drink a beer. The sound will not fill a room. You won't be using this instead of your Sonos or to power your party. I'd view it as a portable personal speaker. OK, I said I wouldn't complain but I'll offer two improvements they might make that would make it a 3+. 1) the "buttons" on top of the unit control the volume, allow you to answer the phone or make a call, etc. The buttons have the normal symbols on them +, -, >>, <<, but they're the same color as the rest of the unit so they're very difficult to see (especially if you're not right on top of the unit and/or don't have your reading glasses on). I used a little black magic marker on my neon red speakers to fill in the indentations for the symbols .... it's not 'pretty' but it makes it much more user friendly. 2) Every time you change the volume the darn thing BEEPS. I say BEEPS in caps because it's a loud beep for every push of the button or touch of the volume slider on your iphone. THIS is quite annoying. How about a smooth change in volume without the darn beep! So, depending on what you're looking for this may or may not be a unit that interests you. While it's adequate for me and my purpose I would have been disappointed if I had paid more than the $29 or whatever it was that I paid. So when I check the "would recommend to a friend" I would also give him or her the caveats discussed here.
