Great compact size, pool speaker. Very loud and clear, good bass for its size. Have not used it at the beach but it's a good pool speaker for sure.

wound up buying one for each of my girls too. Amazing sound and VERY portable. Other bluetooth speakers are awkward and much bigger, this little guy is actually usable.

Pros: compact, cute, was 60% off
Cons:
1) Volume control is *mute, *quiet, *really loud, or *are you kidding me with this I'm RIGHT here!... there is no way to adjust up/down a little, each click is a huge jump.
2) When you turn it on it screams at you "powering on, welcome to altec lansing"... unnecessary, unavoidable, and WAY too loud
3) The aux cord, should you want to connect to a desktop (such as my work computer) fits poorly... it stays in because gravity doesn't fight it, but it's loose enough you can easily knock it out of the jack
4) When you power it on, after it's done yelling at you, it tries to Bluetooth connect to a device. If you do not pair it, for instance if you want to use the aux cord, it will try to pair for 10 minutes, beep at you because you failed to do what it wanted you to do, then power off.
I'm assuming there's someone out there that these features work for, but if you want this for your desk at work, if you want any sensitive control over volume, or if you want to (gasp!) actually USE the ancient tech of an aux cord... get something else. Even at 60% off, it's not worth it. I'm returning it today.

I've tried a lot of mini Bluetooth speakers and this is by far the best. Sound, size, and portability are great. I slip my iPod in my pocket and clip the speaker to a belt loop and go about my business. And it works great in the shower. the volume controls work well.

Disappointing as I loved my Altec 6x9’s in my youth. No bass. I paid 30 dollars which is about what it is worth.
