While some users noted issues with the charging port, the positive feedback on sound, battery, and usability outweighs these concerns.

    Not sure what is wrong with Insignia speakers. This is the second speaker that does not work well. Connecting through bluetooth is a hit or miss. The volume gets very low sometimes for so specific reasons. There may be a reason why these speakers are on a sale.

    It even worth the money of the Black Friday deal. The Mini Sonic speaker is almost a third and sounds better too me. Yes it’s a Best Buy Insignia and some are worth it and some aren’t.

    Purchased this speaker for cell phone speaker, so I could hear clearly while talking on the cell phone for free hand driving. Returned speaker because it was not loud enough for me to hear my phone call due to freeway road noise. Very disappointing.

    Insignia™ - Sonic Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Black, the sound quality is ok, you can pair two speakers but it does not add more sound, the sound breaks if someone stands in the middle of the two speakers.

    I can't say less about the quality of this speaker and the return policies of Best Buy. Volume was inadequate in our auto, sound quality poor. Quality inconsistent when switching to cell phone calls. AND 15 DAYS RETURN POLICY? Didn't even have time to test, get back home, and attempt a return. NO EXCEPTIONS they said. Go to AMAZON and get adequate return policy and extensive choices.

    It is my second speaker from insignia. It is OK, but: 1. it is not loud enough for me 2. Sound is shifted to low frequency, making it muffle When Best Buy will open consider to return it and replace by other.

    This speaker completely stopped holding a charge after owning it for 4 days. It still works if plugged into a power source, but it’s useless for portability now.

    Terrible product, the back plug pocket wouldn’t work most times and it had to be wiggled , the back connector came apart very early. always very hard to get to charge and the guarantee didn’t covered it. Didn’t last at all. I have an original Bose link and it has never given me problems, over 7 years and going

    A miserable product from day one, now at month three and no longer returnable is this now defective product that is going on the trash! A complete waste of money. You cannot see or feel the control buttons, the power cord is like six inches long for goodness sakes. The thing rolls around like a flipping ferris wheel, it's like someone was intentionally trying to create the worst speaker ever.

    Not worth the $25 I spent for the unit on sale...the design makes the device slip and there's no where to attach a carabiner or to hang it by. Hard pass
