If you are looking for a big sound , flexible, yet still portable bluetooth speaker, this speaker really hits the mark.
Sound Quality - The speaker produces a great depth of sound - along with solid bass - something that many other speakers fail to do. At maximum volume you can easily fill a room with music that is full of people buzzing and talking. The sound produced is clear and crisp with no distortion even at the highest volume levels. Besides just music, we used this speaker to play an outdoor movie paired with a portable video projector, and even in that setting the sound was impressive.
Portability - Despite the size of the unit, it is surprisingly light, while still feeling solidly built, and is comfortable with the side handles to move. Moving this speaker from room to room, or to the back of the truck to take to a party, was not an issue whatsoever . The power cable though is rather short, so you are probably going to want an extension cord handy if you are taking it somewhere that it will not be positioned next to an outlet.
Features - The flexibility of this unit is fantastic. It connects to your phone or other bluetooth streaming device through simple pairing. It also can play CD’s, comes with an FM antenna for local radio broadcasts, can take a USB drive that can be navigated right from the speaker, as well as has audio line in if you want to hardwire it to something like a TV that does not work with Bluetooth - it is built for pretty much any audio scenario you may run into.
App - There are two apps that can be used with this speaker - the first is for playing music, and controlling the speaker itself, changing songs, and volume levels, or browsing through a CD, the app is very simple to use and requires very little explanation - the second app is the DJ app. It is more of a novelty than anything, but you can produce DJ like sounds, record scratching , add your own beats and sound effects over top of the music. It is pretty neat, and I can see where some will find that a lot of fun to play with at a party, should you want to channel your inner Deadmau5.
Extras - It also has 2 inputs that you can use for Microphones should you want to Karaoke - we had some streaming youtube karaoke playing through the speaker with a microphone plugged into the input and it sounded great, and was a lot of fun. The one microphone port can also be used as a guitar input, which sounded far better than I would have expected. It is not going to replace your amp at home, but it does produce a great sound as well, and I am sure would liven up a party if someone had a guitar they wanted to play.
This speaker really does what it does well, and is a ton of fun. It is simple to use, is easily taken from place to place, can be used with multiple sound mediums like bluetooth or CD, and has some bells and whistles like the karaoke that make this speaker hard to pass up.
