    In the store it sounded loud but the battery doesn’t last not even an hour. I tried to return it but they said it has to be within the 15 days.

    Worked well, but it was very difficult to discover once I had attached to another bluetooth device. Even after disconnecting, had to wait a long time to connect a different device.

    1. My iPhone speakers are louder 2. That’s almost impossible to disconnect from the Bluetooth or use the Bluetooth, if you receive a call.

    Glad I waited to write this review. This speaker worked well for about 9 months, then suddenly it wouldn’t recognize my phone. I’ve called for technical support and after going through the steps they told me that it must just be defective. Should have lasted longer than that, definitely not worth the money.

    We have owned this speaker since August of 2017 and it has been nothing but WORTHLESS! The audio is poor, it cuts out frequently, and the range is an absolute joke. Taking it even a few feet away and it begins to lose the connection and cuts out! Adding now to the list of other faults, the charge seems to not be holding and will not last more than a few hours! DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF CRAP!!

    In the store the soaker is much louder. There’s no grip to it so it slides off the surface you place it on.

    I was not successful with getting a strong Bluetooth connection. While the set up was easy, the connection kept dropping even when the speaker is next to the device. Tried multiple devices to ensure it is the not the device that is causing the issue.
