    Great sound, easy to use, and super durable!

    This is an incredible little speaker that I have used way more than I expected! I bought this because I wanted to have music outside while I was by the pool. I love it because it gets very LOUD but the sound is super clear! Pairing with my phone and the TV was so unbelievably easy. It took minutes and was stress free. It is also very easy to use with just a few very simple buttons. It holds a charge all day long! I've had this blasting from 10am-10pm, and it lasts and lasts. With a zillion chargers around the house, I really appreciate that the charger for this speaker stays right on the speaker! This is 1 charger I've never lost, as it's always right there. Besides what I already wrote, one of the main reasons I'm so obsessed with this is because it is made quite well and really holds up to the elements. I've had this in the blazing hot sun at the pool/beach all day and it is still like new. Ive even set it up on the front porch while we play outside in the snow or I shovel, and even with cold and moisture, it works great! I did have some help (and about 100 questions) when I picked this out in the store. I'm very pleased with this speaker and 10/10 would buy it again if I needed to. Great price and excellent quality.

    This speaker is too loud for its size. The sound quality is good, not great. But who cares when you get this speaker on sale for 29.99. Best value for product. I got 2 to test sync and it worked pretty good. It took a while for me to figure out synching 2 speakers but once sync'd it worked pretty good. Pros: 1. Value for every buck spent 2. Small, waterproof, dust resistant 3. Great travel buddy Cons: 1. No much bass 2. Too loud some times 3. Can't think of another con.

    Really good sound, clear bass, long long battery life, only reason not 5 star is volume level. My old jam is a lot louder but it was twice the cost. Use this for volleyball in the park and it is loud enough for that! Thinking about buying another and pairing them together.

    Overall works great, has really good sound. When up loud the Bass Is strong enough to make it move itself and it’s fallen off tables a few times. However, it’s a well built piece and is quite durable. Only downside is buttons are a little hard to push.

    I purchased this on sale for my daughter, but upon hearing it went back and got one for myself too. I hadn't ever heard of the brand before, and being my kid is a teenager, I didn't want to spend a fortune on something that might not last as long as I would hope. However, one of the reasons I picked this one besides being on sale, is the fact that it is water resistant with an IP67 rating. I haven't dunked it in water to test it, but expect it to perform as stated. It also has decent sound for what it's worth. You might not hear it as well outdoors at the beach, but one should expect similar results to all speakers of this size.

    Good sound, Bad design

    I’ve had a number of JAM speakers and they all last only so long, this ones design is the worst yet. A fabric strap loop to hang it seems silly coulda done somethin better to “Hangaround”. The built in charging cable is a joke, and that’s why it’s not on the packaging anywhere, that would certainly have deterred me. I pulled the cable off once just to see how convenient it is.. it’s not, It’s a pain to put the cable back in it’s snaked channel and then the tabs at the end just sorta sit loosely in their slots.. bad idea. Lastly the woofer cone is exposed and if the speaker vibrates itself and touches something, the cone vibrates to the tune of a blown speaker, good sound if just sitting or hanging around however, as JAM speakers do at first.. hopefully lasts longer than the last one.

    Excellent small Bluetooth/wifi speaker. Used in a small moving truck from NM to Ohio. Battery life of 20 hours is fantastic and the sound quality and clarity is unexpected in a unit this size. While there are multiple options, many at higher cost; I suggest you give this one a try.

    The instructions are too cryptic for install and could use a few descriptive words to identify what action is to be taken to pair and activate. It is portable and once set up is easy to use. Great sound for the size.

    Pretty good sounding little speaker for the money. For those who are struggling with the charging cable, pull the cable out first, then unplug from the ends. When putting it back, plug in the ends first, then push the cable in. It's not the best way to store the charging cable, but it works. Bluetooth connects quickly, and the battery seems to last a good amount of time, but it is new, so we'll see.

    I wanted something that would connect to my PC and allow me to listen to my music while I worked out. This does what I needed it to do. The sound quality is good considering the small size. The only negative I had was the included instruction booklet made with pictures diagrams didn't help much, I am guessing they used this to avoid printing them in multiple languages. Fortunately the written instructions you find on their website are much easier to follow.

    This is small and sleek enough to be carried around easily, I keep it charged in my car most of the time, so it is good to go whenever needed. Best of all the price that BestBuy had at the time was just perfect and was a great Secret Santa Item. Very satisfied!!!

    I would give 4.5 stars because while not perfect, it’s still really good! The sound is great and it lasts a long time without charging. The only downside is the charger hookup is micro usb so it doesn’t charge iPhone without an extra adapter.

    Wow, this little speaker packs a punch. I am not kidding, it was such a surprise that I am writing about it, and I am not someone that needs my music blaring. Great combination for sound quality and overall capabilities. Definitely would purchase this model again if I was shopping for a waterproof, Bluetooth kicking speaker!

    Bought 2. Synced together, synced to iphone. Worked as intended. Did have a problem syncing to my ipad. Seems to like to be synced to originally synced device, kind of a pain. Other than the new/resync issues, works great, sounds great. Also one of the few bluetooth speakers that are able to sync 2 speakers together, without spending a lot.

    This is a great portable speaker if you're traveling and on the go. Battery life is amazing. You can set it down on a surface or hang it up with its little tab. I recommend this to anyone.

    Got this for my 16 year old son. He loves it, waterproof and durable. He uses it outside when washing his vehicles, working at his workbench or even riding his ATV or working in his tractor. Takes a licking and keeps on working.
