Battery goes dead fast.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound of the speaker is good, however I find I'm charging it all the time ~ I'm assuming because the lights use the battery up. Would not buy it again. I can do without the lights!

Posted .We are sorry to hear you are less than satisfied with the iBT81. The battery deplete faster if the lights are on the entire time audio is playing. You can turn the lights off to enjoy a longer time frame with your audio playing.

Good travel speaker for kids
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good little Bluetooth speaker to travel around with. My son likes it because it is quite portable. The sound is acceptable but not great. Good value for the price.
I would recommend this to a friend Perfect Gift
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a gift and paring it with my phone was a breeze. I love the sound coming through love the fact that it has other features like voice command to play my favorite music from streaming services and the built in speakerphone.
I would recommend this to a friendNot for me
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a rich and standout sound and this is not that.I would guess though that connected to a phone or at a family outing this would be workable and the color is great
I would recommend this to a friendDecent Bluetooth speaker
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'd rate the sound quality 7 out of 10. As long as you keep the volume low to mid range it sounds good, but toward the highest volume it doesn't sound good.

Decent little speaker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely not bad. Decent sound but not as loud as I was hoping. No volume buttons on the speaker so you have to use your phone volume.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from iHome
Posted .The iBT81 has 5 watts of audio output power. This is great for such a small speaker. Many Customer enjoy the option to control the device remotely from their phone. Check out the iBT371 if you prefer to have buttons on the unit itself. Thank you for taking time to leave a review. We appreciate your input.
