Super Sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Insignia Sonic Portable Bluetooth Speaker is a great powerful speaker, small but mighty, It has the sound of a giant speaker. The sound that comes out of this blue tooth is unbelievable. It's worth the value! You can enjoy it at your work desk, while washing dishes, or entertaining while playing some bid whiz or spades. Inexpensive and cute. It makes the perfect gift for someone on the go!

Works great, but....
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I actually give it 4.5 stars. It works great, but the only issue I have is the you can't see the buttons on the top of the speaker if you're in a lower light setting. You have to treat the buttons like brail. Otherwise, it sounds good and is easy to connect. It also definitely has good volume in case you need it to be louder. Overall, I'm happy with it.

Underrated
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So bought this to take to beach. Connected as soona I got home. Sounds good and easy to pair. Also have insignia Bluetooth adapter with the use of my 5.1 receiver for my shed. I get into trouble with neighbors and wife. So that is a good thing in my book. If you want to take control of sound effects go through phone settings or app settings. So far super happy. P.S. get extended warranty just in case.

Full sounding speakers, especially with 2.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would not consider myself an audiofile by any means but I really try to aim for products that give me a good, full sound for listening to music and watching movies and shows. I bought two of the speakers to use as a stereo system but also as a makeshift home theater system. I could not be more satisfied with the speakers. Versus my TV speakers watching movies is like I’m in a movie theater as for me it produces room filling sound when stereo paired. For fairness sake I don’t believe it can be a full replacement for a home theater system but I think it’s a great way to get started in that for a relatively inexpensive cost. I have them paired to my Apple TV. I also use the speakers for listening to music and working out on the go. It really helps me hear my workout music better and the fact that the battery life is so long means I can almost go a week straight without needing to charge them since the battery life lasts about 40 hours per speaker.

The Rise After the Fall
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First two times using the speaker were great, 0 complaints. During my third use my girlfriend dropped it and it feel off my balcony and proceeded to fall a total of 11 stories. That’s 110 feet for those who don’t know. It feel in a grassy by the pool which was closed till morning. The next morning I walked up to it to find it soaking wet but intact. The speaker works just fine and only a minor scratch on the back. I highly recommend this speaker and now all insignia products.

This really fires out a lot of good sound.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For its modest size, this device kicks out a pretty big sound. It is easy to understand how to pair it up and to operate. A friend had a similar one, which gave me the inspiration to get this one. But this Insignia blows it away.

Great speaker for the price
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker is surprisingly loud for its size. I wasn't expecting much at first but I've come to love it. I use it as a speaker for my carry around projector and for my PC when I'm viewing content and it gets the job done.

Quality portable speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was initially surprised at the size of the speaker- it was a little smaller than expected. But when I turned it on, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the sound and it doesn’t require a high volume setting to deliver quality sound effect. Thank you Best Buy!

Q: Questionwill it work with my tv;we need a wireless speaker to put 10 feet from tv
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer It is a Bluetooth speaker, so your TV would need to be Bluetooth-capable and able to pair with a Bluetooth device. Alternately, you can use a 3.5mm audio cable to connect the speaker to your TV, if your TV has a 3.5mm audio output.

Q: Questiondoes bluetooth speakers work with laptop computer, using the headphone plug in on my laptop?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes, just use a 3,5MM cable to attach. BTW, for a tiny speaker, it puts out very nice clean sound, could use more base, but it's still ok.
