    If you tell me the speaker has 12 hours, battery life..., I don’t believe (from a buyers point of view) that means the speaker is on, volume full blast with nothing playing. Bluetooth worked fine, volume worked fine, but the battery life is described correctly. I maybe had 4-5 hours.

    worked beautifully for two days, then stopped working completely. no indicator of charging, no response when pushing buttons. didn't move speaker for several days so it wasn't damaged by shock or any other environmental factors. found a handful of threads online describing identical issues with this model. solutions proposed included factory reset, but many owners seem to have to reset frequently and i didn't want to pay this much money for something that was going to consistently have issues. :(

    This speaker doesn’t work well. Got this as a Christmas gift back in December for my partner. The battery only lasts 3-4 hours. And most of the time it doesn’t want to charge..
