    This thing is absolutely incredible. The fact that you can use the trouble and the base on the fly his magical. If you are in the market to buy them ba freaking awesome Bluetooth speaker and you can also connect to your period laptop computer TV tablet or phone you are in the right place this thing like I said earlier in the post is magical. Enjoy the magical ride of the magical enjoyment of the magical speaker.

    Don’t waste your time like I did!!! Have a Marshall Emberton II which is amazing, but JBL owns the large Bluetooth speaker segment. Way better than the Marshall Kilburn II and the Middleton. This speakers is insane! Use it daily. It’s only Achilles Heal is battery life. Great base, decent App, makes you smile!!!! Connects instantly. It’s a Game Changer. Epic Speaker!!!!
