Good quality for the money
||Posted .I have a first gen Braven bluetooth speaker. It actually does have an 18 hour battery life. I have used it at work and it will run through 2 full shifts before it needs to be charged. There are better sounding bluetooth speakers for twice the price, but their battery life is maybe 5 hours. The sound on the Balance is much better than the first gen Braven I have. There are bass speakers on both ends of the Balance. The shape is better than the cylinder shaped ones because it won't roll off the seat in the car or boat. The silicone body helps it stick in one spot. What I really like to use this speaker for besides music is when I am using my phone in the car as my GPS, I use the speaker so I can hear the GPS. It works really well for this purpose. The only drawback I've found so far is that it doesn't have an easy carry case. I have not had occasion to test the water resistance of this speaker so I cannot speak to that.

Amazing for offroading
||Posted .When we purchased this item it was strictly to use with our off-road vehicle. When we purchased this item it was strictly to use with our off-road vehicle. Period insert. Even with our off-road vehicle running at full speed we were still able to hear the speaker clearly without any mumbling. Other speakers were never loud enough for us to use because once you turn them all the way up all of your audio began to get foggy and jumbled together . I would definitely recommend this product to anybody who is looking for a good Bluetooth speaker whether that be for home use or for off Road Ing like we use ours .

Cool little speaker
||Posted .I purchased this on a whim since it was on sale and I had some best buy rewards getting ready to expire. I've been really happy with it, whenever I'm doing something around the house, cleaning, reading, showering, ect, I can sync to this and rock out. It would be great to take to the beach or to the pool since it's waterproof. It puts out decent sound with solid bass. The color is nice and bright so it'd be difficult although not impossible to lose. Finally it's pretty portable, it's about the size of an average paperback so while you can't tuck it into your pocket unless you have JINCO's you can easily put into a backpack or satchel.

Great purchase.
||Posted .The sound is really great for a small speaker! I'm looking forward to blasting it outside and I'm pretty confident I'll enjoy the results. Love the look of the speaker as well. I've had some difficulty with Bluetooth pairing which is why I'm giving 4stars. When I press the button to pair it searches and does not pair. I've been going into my phone manually to pair it which works fine. My phone doesn't have pairing issues with any other device so I can only assume it's the speaker. Not a big deal since I'm going into my phone to select the music anyway. I would totally buy another one of these to keep at work.

Fantastic for Outside
||Posted .I work outside almost every morning and enjoy listening to music via my smart phone; however, quality / volume of sound not that great. So I wanted a basic speaker that would handle the outdoors but didn't cost a lot. Looked at many options and decided to try this one cause of it's durability, positive web reviews, long battery life and it could charge my phone. Hasn't disappointed. Easy to use and sound quality is great. I'm outside using this for hours (4+) in the morning and barely use any of the battery storage, plus my phone stays fully charged. Unexpected plus is it works great on hands free phone calls - my hands get pretty dirty from yard projects.

Overall great speaker
||Posted .I bought this to take on a fishing trip to play tunes in the boat. It works fine for this. We also used it in the car to listen to an audio book. Has really nice sound. I wish there was some way to plug into the stereo port and have the protective rubber covering on at the same time - minor nuisance. The sound on this is really very good for its size - got bass definition. The best thing was the amount of time per charge - I charged it fully before the first use. We used it for several hours on two occasions in the boat, then listened to audiobooks for a good 9 hours in the car - and it was still running strong. Very happy about this purchase!

GREAT SPEAKER!
||Posted .Incredibly happy with this speaker!! Purchased on a whim without listening first because it wasn't on display. Was skeptical because I'd never heard of the brand. Sound quality is excellent!! As good as if not better than the Bose SoundLink Color Bluetooth Speaker except this speaker is waterproof!

Perfect bluetooth speaker!
||Posted .I had bought a couple of other bluetooth speakers that work well for smaller areas only, as the volume didn't get very loud. This one is PERFECT for when I'm grilling out, sitting on the grill island and is the only speaker I need for movie night outside using my projector and large screen. Sound is crisp and clear and gets as loud as I need it to be.
