Insignia™ - Rugged Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Black

I bought this speaker to work with a blue tooth transmitter to act as an extension speaker for a tv in a bedroom. The pairing of the speaker to the transmitter was simple. Quality of sound very good. There are very limited options on the market for this type of application. All blue tooth speakers seem to be battery powered and designed for outdoor use. It is a pain to recharge the battery every eight hours as I was nervous about leaving the flimsy A/C charging cord plugged in all the time.I could not find a blue tooth speaker with a solid A/C cord designed to be plugged in all the time inside the house, so I went with this speaker. The speaker is part of a good solution for TV sound privacy when paired with the MEE transmitter bought at Best Buy.

I have to say for quality Bluetooth speaker, and for its price, this is a pretty good one. The only reason I give it three stars instead of four is battery life and bass. You can't expect the bass to sound good on a lot of Bluetooth speakers, but I've had friends with different speakers that definitely have great sounding bass. Also, the battery life is not long. I use it in my car mostly because I'm saving up to fix and replace my stereo system, but I have to keep it plugged into the charger most of the time because it does die pretty quickly. I would recommend it for just a small one to take with you, it's easy to use, and pretty nice. The volume level, however, doesn't seem to go very high. I guess it depends on what you like.

Surprisingly loud for how small it is and clear. I've had other BT speakers that when you max tend to get clipped or distorted, and this is not the case. It can be in the back of my garage maxed out and it's extremely clear when i'm down at the bottom of my driveway washing cars I take it in the shower each morning to catch up on news and whatnot. Pretty long battery life. Another plus is some BT devices will not allow you to play them while charging, you can charge this while listening which is a huge plus. I may pick up an extra as a back up or to keep one in my backpack and one at home

I was hopeful that this little speaker would work out for me. I planned to use it in the bathroom while showering, while doing pool chores, etc. It synced up to my iPad easily. I listened to it about four times, and it worked great. About a week later it wouldn’t turn on. I assumed the battery needed charging. It appeared to charge, but would not turn on. I tried to reset it, tried to charge again, nothing. I got it for half off, but since it didn’t work for even a week, it was not worth it. From my experience, I definitely would not recommend it.

Grabbed this the morning of a 2 week trip. All I wanted was small, inexpensive, and decent sound. I used it behind my tablet for videos, cause headphones in hotel room for several hours aren't my choice. Charged it, paired it threw in the suitcase. In and out if store in 5 mins. There are better sounding ones cheaper if you catch a sale. There are great ones that are even smaller if you don't mind spending $40+. I didn't have time to wait.

Bought the Isignia Bluetooth speaker to listen to music and video with better sound than my iPad and phone. Easy to connect via Bluetooth and sound quality is more than sufficient for a portable speaker under $20. I also like that it can be used as a wireless speaker phone and comes in a water resistant/shock absorbing rubber skin. I haven't full tested battery life yet (stated 6 hrs), but had it playing for 2-3 hours the other day which is probably not much longer than I would use it regularly.

Excellent Compact Tough Bluetooth Speaker I use it in my car, work and home to play my music playlist from m android phone. The speaker is pretty loud when outside and when you lower the volume say in an inside environment sounds pretty good. I dropped it a few times on cement, pavement and dirt and it took the hit with no damage to the case or speaker. The charge will last all day but would need to be recharged after that.

I am so glad that I purchased the warranty on this speaker because I ended up using it 3 times to replace it. The first one I returned the volume never got loud enough, the second one wouldn't hold the charge, the third one wouldn't connect to any of my apple devices. I ended up switching it out for a different Insignia model which I am doing much better with. Not a fan of this model and I do not recommend it.
