Hits above its weightclass!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this item, not just for myself, but also as a gift for another. If you'd rather not read the entire review, that should tell you all you need...go get one! I work as a dance instructor, and oftentimes I find myself in a location without an in-house sound system. In those situations, I've turned toward small, portable Bluetooth speaker systems. I've been intrigued about the viability of this Motomod in a smaller teaching environment and was eager to get my hands on one. I must say, the build quality is impressive. Battery life is as advertised, and while it does add a little extra weight to the device its hardly noticeable...especially as I find myself utilizing the built-in kickstand rather frequently. The sound quality is quite impressive for the size of this device. It has nice clarity and a surprising amount of bass. It didn't quite live up to my expectations for a group class, but in a more intimate venue, 1 on 1, or even for listening to audiobooks around the house, it works wonderfully. If there is anything I would like to see improved in yet another future iteration...I would like it to double as a standalone Bluetooth speaker, and not be tied directly to the Moto Z phone.

Overall good sound quality for a speaker mod...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased the JBL SoundBoost 2 from Best Buy and my experience overall so far has been positive. For the convenience factor of instantly adding better sound output from my Moto Z smartphone, I can't complain. On one hand, it definitely improves the audio quality of music and videos with no apparent lag or sync issues like with some Bluetooth speakers. On the other hand, while the sound quality is definitely richer and more detailed than using my phone's speaker, it isn't quite as good as some Bluetooth speakers (although I'm comparing it to my Bose Soundlink Mini, one of the better, if not best, portable BT speakers on the market). All in all, I believe it sounds very good for a speaker mod and it is convenient to just snap it in place when needed. It does increase the bulkiness of my phone, but that's to be expected. The built-in stand is great for using it as a speaker phone. The portability factor can't be beat when compared to Bluetooth speakers. For most people, I think the sound quality will be more than satisfactory. Although there is an Alexa equipped speaker mod from a competitor that was recently introduced, not everyone will need or want that feature, and this is a less expensive alternative. I would recommend purchasing the JBL SoundBoost 2 if you need a convenient, portable, and relatively inexpensive quality speaker mod for your Moto Z or Moto Z Play.

Great speaker add on.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A little but overpriced. At the sale price, it's worth it. Good sound for the size. They should have built in Bluetooth. That would have been awesome.

Great Soundboost
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There are plenty of bluetooth speakers you can pair with your phone, but if you've purchased the Moto Z series for the mods, then you will likely want to get this mod. Provides significant difference in sound projection, what you would expect form a separate speaker, but sound is clear. Kickstand is nice feature to prop up phone, and turning it away provides better sound. Important to note, this mod has its own battery life and needs to be charged. Has about 10 hours of battery time; however, once the battery dips below 25%, it does periodically kick in an out.

It does what it says it will do...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review....And it does it well! I bought this for use at my desk as I don't always remember to bring a mini-jack cable and the necessary mini-jack to USB-C cable so that I can plug into the radio on my desk. I no longer want or need to hook up to that radio because... This little speaker is wonderful! It plays loud enough that I can annoy people but then, who is annoyed by Sinatra, and is still more than detailed in it's playback to hear musical nuances at low volume. How's that for pseudo snobbery?! LOL! I highly recommend this Motorola Mod! The battery powers only the speaker (not the phone) and it lasts for several hours! I use it every single day since I bought it and again, I can highly recommend this to people I know and love and even you guys that I don't know or love, LOL! It is that good a device. Is it "bulky" or "heavy"? Well, that depends upon whether or not you're 12" tall. If you are then yes. It is bulky and heavy. If you're taller than 12", then no. You can easily carry this unit around with you. ;-) Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

Nice sound, great add-on
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a nice add-on for the person who is constantly listening to music and has a Moto-Z phone. I love that since it attaches to the phone I don't have to manually carry around a bluetooth speaker. The speakers add a much needed lower end to a normally tinny cellphone sound. Very nice!

JBL SOUND BOOST
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i have had several JBL products in the past and i knew that getting this sound boost speaker for the Motorola phone will make a huge difference in sound quality versus the built in phone speakers. Sound quality is excellent for the size of the speaker mod and seamless connectivity with the phone just plug and play. Built in kickstand on the back is very convenient when you want to stand the phone up while watching a movie. Only thing i would say it would have been nice if the speaker mod had a passive radiator or a small SUB built in that would really make this mod stand out even more and would make for a robust sound. overall great speaker mod which also allows you to use this as a speaker phone for phone calls.
