    I love the product. It has excellent sound quality. Connected to Google home perfectly. I enjoyed it so much about a second one. My two concern. Amazon echo doesn't seem to know its name. It is missing some of the Amazon software. There's nowhere to change its name. The option doesn't exist in their software. My second concern. The microphone needs to be upgraded. Even without any background noise. It just doesn't hear us. At least not at the level of the Google nest speakers. As I said before I liked it so much I bought a second one. I work around is using the microphone on my watch.

    Compared these (two) to many alternatives at home. Same or higher priced, all below $1000 tho. These stayed. Only minus is a pretty poor battery life compared to competition. But is use these mostly plugged in.

    Very cool speaker that is clearly built with quality materials. Sound is equivalent or maybe even better than that of a Sonos Five. Handle is sturdy and doesn't flex at all which is comforting. I highly recommend this for any audiophiles who are looking for a quality and portable speaker for any event!
