Great sound but thats it
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is great for what we bought it for. I would give it 5 stars if thats all i was basing my rating on. The color changing modes are neat and the pulse to music doesn’t really seam to pulse to the music. It doesn't match the bass or anything so I'm not sure what its actually pulsing too. May as well not even include that feature honestly

An Upgrade from Original
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been purchasing these color changing speakers for some time now. This one is definitely an improvement over the last model. It’s sound is louder and crisper. The Bluetooth set up features a voice to inform you when your connected. Definitely a good speaker. However, I also bought the JBL to compare the two speakers. Simply put...there is no comparison. This speaker was returned and I kept the JBL. Major price difference so if you are on a budget, you will not be disappointed with this speaker.

Good
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It can get kind of loud, but not as loud as I would like, but that’s what to expect from a small/medium sized speaker. Not sure how the “colours change according to the music” works, but I usually don’t bother changing the colours anyway. Sometimes when it runs out of batteries, it will make a loud, horrifying death screeching noise. Sometimes it won’t notify you that it’s batteries are low. Quick to charge and easy to pair, though.

Would like higher volume
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really fun bluetooth speaker. Easy to use and love the colorful lights. My one complaint is that the loudest volume isn't loud enough. I use this to teach Zumba classes and I really need a more powerful bluetooth speaker, which I did end up purchasing, I now use this speaker at home, not for my classes.

Small but loud
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up and use. Linked up to my phone without any issues. Small and portable makes it easy to move from room to room without stopping the Music. I use this in my garage during work outs. I love my little speaker.

Nice size and sound, my daughter enjoys the lights
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a nice portable bluetooth speaker that we got for my daughter. She can play music from her Fire tablet on it and likes the colors -- which are easy enough to change. The battery seems to last quite a while. Note that there is no 3.5mm audio input on this and it will only accept bluetooth.

Good sound, Compact Size, Colorful display
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My fave was the size of this little speaker. The sound was good. The lights were entertaining in a dark room. Repeated use. Not good for open air outdoors. The sound just carried and it felt lost in a crowd.
