    i bought this for the noisy neighbors TBH. I have an iPhone XS. This is super easy to connect. There is Bluetooth button, and it pops as "Sport" on my Bluetooth. I always use the same song to test out speakers and headphones. MGK Wild Boy. Its a song with deep bass and nice treble. I moved this around my house pretty easy. Very loud, the bass is not the best even with the bass boost. I did try one of my lossless classical sounds and it was a very good sound. I live about 20 miles from an FM radio tower and picked up my stations pretty easy. I ran this for a day (the volume was on low so it didn't keep me ) and it played thru. If you want a lightweight, decently loud speaker, with a long battery. Give this a try

    I bought this speaker for my husband so he could take to work since he works in construction. The first 4 months it worked fine, now you have to leave it plugged in in order for it to stay on.

    This speaker does not stay charged and for it being "portable" the charge hold for about 2 sec then turns off. If it does not stay plugged it will not work.

    For the size and quality of this speaker, it's very affordable. It's not really a well known brand name (I've personally never heard of ION Audio before) but the speaker does its job. It's not really fancy and looks pretty standard as well, but the quality isn't of a low budget speaker. It packs a punch and if you don't care about brand names, this is totally worth it.
