Customers are saying

Customers regard the WAVE 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker favorably for its sound quality, battery life, and ease of use, frequently praising its value for the price. While the volume is considered sufficient by many, some users noted the bass could be improved and expressed a desire for waterproofing. The Bluetooth connectivity and compact size were also generally well-received. A few customers mentioned the short charging cord as a minor inconvenience.

    On sale it’s worth 5$ so I’ll pay 9.99$(Black Friday) but retail value 39.99$. Way to high, I say this because my speaker blown in two months, I can count on my fingers how many times I used the thing. And to think I brought another as a gift.

    Not satisfied with the Bluetooth speaker I gave the speaker to my four-year-old grandson which he's very pleased. The speaker is not loud enough doesn't have much Bass. So I went the very next day and bought an ion speaker. Much better

    I bought this for my husband as he wanted a small speaker for his work bench in our garage and it had great reviews. The sound quality was not good as it crackled and was not very loud. Possibly I bought a defective one but returned.

    You get what you pay for. This is far from the best audio device you can get, but for the $11 I spent on it, it’s worth it. I’m giving this 2 stars because Best Buy sent me an open item product and not a new in box product.

    Sound Delay

    I got this speaker so I can connect it to my laptop and watch movies. I noticed a few minutes after connecting it, via bluetooth, there's a delay in the sound. So it's like watching someone's mouth moving in a video but waiting to hear what they say through the speaker a second later. I got an exchange cause I thought maybe it was just that particular one that I got that had that problem but turns out it wasn't just that one. So I just returned it. I had an Insignia portable speaker in the past and never had this problem. Don't recommend it if you're planning to purchase this to watch movies.

    I hardly hardly recommend you against buying this product. The sound quality is extremely bad even for mid to low volume settings. I never had connection issues with it for what it is worth!

    Was looking for an outside speaker - the latency was about 4 or 5 seconds off. Felt like I was in a echo chamber. Had to return. Perhaps better for a phone that was sitting right beside you.

    Battery used to last 5 hours and now it lasts less than 2 hours, no where close to 12 hours... Only owned it for a couple of months and now needs to be plugged in for prolonged usage.

    The form factor of this speaker is a positive point for this speaker. I expected better sound quality. Given that, the low price should have given me a clue.
