    I had to return it because battery would not hold a charge. I charged it for over 6 hours, the indicator showed full battery but it only played for about 1 minute and the battery was dead.

    DOA birthday gifts are a bad idea

    DOA. It turns on, nothing works. Fully charged. No sound, like the speakers aren't even hooked up inside. Sadly, this was bought as a birthday gift (it was a great price, so really early gift). By the time she opened it, it was past the time to return it. It seems to have good reviews, so if you get one that works, maybe you'll have their kind of luck instead of ours. Learned my lesson, either open the package even though it is a gift or don't get something that early. I thoguht I would have better luck buying something from Best Buy and wasn't worried about it. Trying to get replaced under warranty is not going so well either.

    Not a good Product, I had issues within the first day of use. The battery does not work well in these type of speakers. Not worth it to be honest.
