I love this little speaker. It has a big sound. And the lights are fun! It was easy to connect to my phone with bluetooth. I like mine so much that I bought one as a gift for a family member also.

This inexpensive speaker has amazing sound. It was very easy to pair with my iphone. The changing light colors add a really fun touch but you can turn it off as well. I carry it everywhere in my house. I love it.

This speaker is excellent for desk use, or perhaps even while showering. It has little bass to speak of, which other speakers of the same price have in abundance relative to its size. The sound it does put out is of great quality even at high volumes. What's most disappointing about this speaker is that it doesn't hold a charge for very long, and I am constantly charging it, even when I don't use it for long; and there is no low battery warning. It just shuts off mid song.

I thought this wasn't going to live up to the hype. Let me tell you that this small, Bluetooth speaker has amazing sound. Clear sound and the cutest thing as it changes color. Love it!

Nice to have this to play music around the house. I like having an always-on background music vibe going to really make my house feel like a place of peace and rest. This does the job. I don't get the feeling that I'm missing out on sound quality that I'd be enjoying had I shelled out a little more. I was disappointed that this and other speakers like it I bought of the same brand on the same day could not be simultaneously controlled from an app.... so I'm looking into google home and amazon alexa, but in the meantime, this is a nice thing to have.

easy to use. Volume is acceptable, especially when it’s on max. Best for when you’re in a small room, or alone outside.

I bought this speaker for my granddaughter and she really likes it. Sound quality is good, speaker is small and the price was reasonable. Can you ask for more?

Have it paired with a Samsung S10+ phone for use in a warehouse for music only. The phone is left close to the speaker and never bothered to see how far away I could put the speaker from the phone.
I can't say what the distance for using it as a speaker phone. Normally I'm not next to the speaker when I'm working so I leave it as audio only.
It last a all day at work when I don't have the power supply hooked up. Volume is loud enough, bass and treble are decent for a small item. Clarity is pretty good too.
Good enough at least for music.

Nice little speaker. Good sound, easy setup, and the lights add a nice touch when used in a dark room.
