    I read a few reviews online before purchasing this portable bluetooth speaker and I agree with the 4.5(ish) star rating. My devices all found the speaker rather easily. The sound quality for the size and price is great and I have found that, at its loudest, I can fill most of my 2,000 sq. ft. home with sound. (It probably helps that most of that space is all on one floor.) I bought it when it was on sale for $10 which made it an even better steal! I probably wouldn't have bought it for much more than that. The only thing I don't like about it is that you can't control skip songs directly from your speaker. You can control volume and you can even answer calls; but you have to have your device close at hand if you want to skip a song you are listening to. Not a huge deal, but still an annoyance sometimes. TL;DR: Small and packs a sound punch, but don't leave your connected device behind if you want total control,

    I was going to go down to pick up my portable speakers, but unfortunately, my store didn't have these amazing little devices. I ordered two and ended up having them shipped, and they came very quickly - I just hate to pay for shipping if I don't have to. Anyway, about the speakers, they are spectacular. I bought one for my car and one for my laptop. They seem only to link up to one device at a time, but that's okay with me. The sound is clear and loud. In the car, depending on how fast I'm driving, I can even hear my podcasts with the window rolled down. The phone button even works. If you're on the fence, I recommend you to go for it. For the price, you can't beat them. Oh, and speaking of beating, they are very sturdy little boxes, and I think they could take one. PS: The subject line is a nod to all of you 10 Years After fans. ;)

    I've been using this speaker almost daily now. It holds its charge very well. The sound is decent. The volume is quite strong. Perhaps a similar product from Bose might be clearer in terms of clarity, but this one isn't bad either. For the price it is a very good purchase.

    Great Bluetooth Speaker For The Money

    I was walking around Best Buy looking for bargains and came across a display and BB was selling this speaker for $10. Sold! I took it home and I didn't even need to charge the battery before using it. It was a snap connecting to my iPhone. I tried some music using my Pandora app and the sound quality, for a speaker this compact, was very good and loud enough to be heard during a get together I had. Volume is adjustable and there is a convenient button for answering phone calls if you happen to be using it in the car, although I haven't tried that yet. The build quality is good, it's a nice looking speaker, and seems quite hefty for the size. You do have an option of connecting by a standard audio cable for connecting a non-bluetooth audio device such as an iPod. For the money, this was a real bargain.

    I got this on sale for 9.99 and it was well worth the price. It connects quickly and doesn’t disconnect. It has great battery life. The sound quality is good but if you want volume go with a bigger speaker.

    Lot better than I expected for an Insignia

    This is my first Bluetooth speaker, bought it on Black Friday for $9.99! I know Insignia is Best Buy's cheap store brand, so I wasn't expecting it to be that great, but I was wrong. The sound is incredible for such a little speaker. Obviously the bass isn't gonna be anything special for such small drivers, but it does have a little passive radiator that adds a bit more punch to the music. It's a significant improvement to say laptop speakers or other mobile device. I use it for watching movies on my tablet while out camping and stuff or playing music on the beach and it's pretty perfect. Obviously I'd love to have a slightly bigger unit with deeper bass and bigger battery for longer play time, but hey for the money this absolutely cannot be beat.

    I love listening to audiobooks while working out and this speaker is very convenient, portable and has good sound quality along with lasting charge. The purple color is easy to see, so its easy not to forget.

    The speaker is very good. It looks very good and has crisp sound. It does not hang up too often like other Bluetooth speakers. I like the shape and help me listen my videos and movies. The speaker is amazing and the volume has clarity at the highest levels. I love my Bluetooth speaker and wish it maintains or improves in the next model. It is portable and can be easily installed with the phone or tablet.

    Surprised how great this sounds for $10. Sure, you can't compare it to the speaker brand that begins with B, but it's a huge improvement in audio over the speakers built into your cell phone. They can make a bad audio cell phone sound much better. Appreciate the fact it has a speaker phone icon, so if someone calls while I'm doing something, I can hit the button on the speaker to take the call. It does have a considerable amount of weight to it, but not heavy. Make sure you buy a longer cable and wall charger to charge it if you don't already have one. The included cable is rather small. Also, if you don't have BlueTooth, no problem, connect your device through the line in input in the back.

    I have three of these - two for younger children and one for office where playing Iron Maiden at loud volumes is frowned upon. Overall, very happy. Price is great (got it on sale) and it's easy to charge (takes a while, but still....easy). It holds a charge pretty long (8+ hours, I think) and the blue tooth function is flawless. You would not use this for a party or a large room like a living room, but for a child room where Justin Beiber should not be played loudly anyway it's perfect and, as noted, for an office at work it's perfect. It's clearly portable so it's easy to take around the house in any room (e.g., bathroom...). I'd buy it again.

    It provides great sound from within 30 ft of your device. It is light weight enough to be portable (ie carry it in your bag) but it's rubber feet make it stable enough that it won't topple over wherever you place it. I use it to stream podcasts or music from Pandora etc and the sound quality is fantastic whether listening to an interview or music. It's volume control buttons are powerful enough that I rarely use the highest setting. It's battery lasts quite long too as I only charge once per week and it charges quickly.

    I saw this speaker on sale for $10 and $15. My sister has been wanting one so I bought one for her and one for me. This is the best $15 I’ve ever spent on a speaker. For iOS users, when it’s paired (Bluetooth) your phone will show a pair of headphones at the top with a battery symbol, indicating the battery life on it. Also you can enable the widget in the widget center (swipe to the left). The bottom line is if you’re looking for a Bluetooth that sounds great and is EXTREMELY affordable (at least on sale) this speaker is worth every penny, and couldn’t be happier with this product!

    Got this speaker as an inexpensive way to give the Amazon echo dot a little help in the sound department. Anyone with an echo knows it sounds really tinny. This speaker actually gives the echo some "bottom". The dot sounds full, and with this speaker you'll get decent sound separation. Also the Bluetooth connects easily to the dot and the battery on this speaker lasts about 8 hours constant playing. It also has a good standby life as well as the option of being connected to a non Bluetooth device with a 3.5mm jack/cord. For under $20 this speaker is a winner!!!

    I had $15 rewards and was looking to buy something with them since they were going to expire this month. I came across this Bluetooth speaker and decide to buy it. I like it alot. It is very small and portable. I was suprise by the sound quality based on the reviews I wasn’t expecting much but man does it has a great sound quality in my opinion. It a great purchase and my very first insignia products so now I know I can buy more insignia products with confidence knowing they will work great. Don’t hesitate to buy especially when its on sale. Buy one!!

    bought a couple of these for my chromecasts & they sound really good. not tinny & only just a bit too bassy. otherwise, easy to use & great sound. I leave it powered on until it emits some friendly reminder beeps that it needs to be charged, which takes about 3-4 days before that happens. that might be because it's size/weight is due probably to its battery (it's pretty heavy/sturdy - doesn't feel cheap/hollow). rubberized bottom. rubbery feel all around too. it is room filling sound. stereo speakers on this sound better than a single speaker Bluetooth puck. it was a bargain at $10 for refurb/promo.

    I have bought 4 or 5 of these. I have given 2 or 3 as gifts and have kept 2 for myself. I travel with one to listen to music in my hotel room, and I love using one to listen to music when I am grilling burgers outdoors. Mine have all been bought on sale, and I see no reason to pay full price when they go on sale regularly. For the price I have paid these are fantastic speakers and provide very good sound quality with noticeable bass. No, they’re not like $100+ speakers, but they don’t cost that much, either!

    This little speaker is wonderful! it gives a nice loud enough to hear sound, was very easy to connect to my phone. The small sleek shape makes it easy to carry with you, and using it can be made less obvious if you want that kind of ambiance, which I do. As a massage therapist, I have tried many expensive brands of speakers, and this one is on the top of my fave list! good sound, fantastic quality for the price! i no longer want to invest in "name brand" fancy speakers -- i just want something to sound good and work...this does!

    Best Buy has had this speaker on sale several times lately. Although it is not waterproof like its counterpart unless your using in a bathtub or swimming pool or pouring rain do you really need to pay that extra money? This speaker has decent sound, volume level is medium, which for the size is fine. For the price I paid($9.99) I consider that a great deal for this speaker. It's not as good as the better brand name speakers but for what I use it for it does the trick. Battery when fully charged lasts quite a long time.
