Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Amazing for all types of musical events
I needed a great sound for my daughters Birthday Bbq in a large park. This Bluetooth speaker provided all I needed,Sound,volume,base,long playing,lasting charge,charge my phone,great looking,light,even Karoake etc. Using my phone to play my music setlist thru it was great. We were able to use the beautiful light display on it after dark to light up the area while having a "Rap battle" with my nephew using the mike & Karoake! I use this speaker in my house, in the back yard and my daughters even use it in front of the house with friends for Karoake. I had to give the order info to 5 others to purchase for themselves also. This is a great economical investment.

Great sound,look and size
Amazing music system. I used it for a large park cookout and it was amazing. The Device charged my phone while I played music the whole time I even had the lights flashing. My daughter used it for Karoake outside in front of the house with friends and they had a ball.
