    I have been using this for about a week and I love it. Great sound quality. The phone charging is a GREAT option, which is a bonus feature.

    Great with Apple AirPlay

    We are an Apple household. I was able to get the speaker connected and playing music right away. Using the app, I connected to WiFi and Alexa with ease. My only gripe is the in lauded instructions would be difficult for someone who is not tech savvy. Overall, the design and workmanship is very good. Sound quality is good but a little too much bass with no ability to adjust.

    Lots of features but not a home run

    This speaker comes with a lot of great functions, but the sound quality is definitely lacking. My first speaker died two days after receiving it and another was sent. The replacement makes random noises that actually bothered me enough to unplug it. I'm guessing this is because of the Google home capabilities but as that wasn't my primary reason for getting it, I could do without it. I bought this as I just wanted a speaker but given the necessary cord I'm not feeling it's worth it for me.

    The speaker looks great and the wireless charger is a really convenient feature. Really handy google assistant features but it would be nice if you could operate without the app, the speaker sound could be better but overall it's a stylish and handy thing to have. I received a free sample to use for this review.

    Limited smart speaker

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I received this Bluetooth speak free to test and post a review. The speaker is packaged well and is heavier than you would expect. Very solidly built with excellent materials. Comes with power cord and a very small instruction booklet basically forcing you to download google home app to set up, connect, and control. I took 2 stars off for that alone. There should be an independent app or even a small remote so you don't have to use google. Further the music sources are limited and my personal favorite is not one of them. The speaker nags a lot about signing up for google music premium. There is no amazon music ( i assume its on the alexa version). Also no Tune-in. This is a great speaker for those that are baked into the google environment. For others stay away. There is no way, that i can see, to connect your phone or music player directly. Which would be handy especially if your music source is one of those. Those could possibly charge if you don't have wireless charging. Once Google home was set up bluetooth connected right away but I should be able to connect via Bluetooth without google home. Now for the good news: Music quality is excellent. No question. Way better than expected, I still haven't found any EQ controls but right out the box excellent deep and rich sound. No comment on wireless charging as my phone doesn't have that feature. There are way better and more flexible options out there at the same price point.

    Sound quality is fabulous! Will replace my 2 smaller speakers for entire house. However, Tried 3 different smartphones and, although the speaker light says charging, no phone would actually charge.

    Great audio but can't use smart speaker features!!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have been unable to use it as a smart speaker. I'm currently on the phone with Belkin customer service to see why it isn't working properly. I think it isn't connected to the Wi-Fi because I'm able to connect to the speaker using Bluetooth. The audio quality is great but this is a smart speaker, not just a Bluetooth speaker. I consider myself a techie so for this not to work straight out of the box is very disappointing! Wish me luck with customer service since the call got disconnected twice without connecting to a customer service representative.

    Good sound but I wish it were Alexa instead of Google Assistant. Touch controls are infuriating. If I hear the mic is off again just by setting the phone in the charging cradle imma gonna scream! Thank God I got it for $89

    Will not connect to Belkin SoundForm App!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am giving this smart speaker 2 stars it does have very good sound quality and connects to Google Home App very easily but my compliant for this product is the Belkin SoundForm app that was designed by Belkin is total garbage. This smart speaker acts very dumb and will not connect to the app. I read online that you can change the settings from Google to Amazon Alexa and my home is full of Alexa Devices so I was very excited to get this product set up and switched over to Alexa because it is compatible with Alexa but I could not get the device to ever connect to the app. I like the sound but I am upset that it would not connect its own app.

    Pretty Good

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I received a free sample of this product to review and found it to be a good product overall. Setup was very simple and the assistant feature worked well. The product is also attractive and seems to be of good quality. There are a couple disadvantages. First, while attractive, this speaker has a footprint larger than I expected and like. I would prefer something small and discreet. Second, I would use this speaker primarily to listen to music on my selected service, Amazon Music. This speaker cannot stream music from that service.

    I received this product in exchange for my review. This Belkin speaker did not come with detailed instructions for setting it up. I had to look online to find out how to set up the speaker. Only thing I did really like about it, is that you can charge your phone on the dock.

    I was sent a free Belkin speaker to review and I found it very confusing to get set up. I managed to play some music but not necessarily the music that I wanted to play. Still trying to figure out how to customize it more. The sound of the music was okay, a little tinny sounding.
