    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. :(

    I need to return this. It will not charge up. I bought to take on the golf course to listen while we played. Never could get it to charge then and just got it back out today to play music and it won’t charge So I will bring it back to the store this week to hopefully trade it for another

    Little powerhouse

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This speaker has unparalleled sound quality and is loud enough to be easily heard in most environments such as constructive, etc. The Bluetooth range is a lot further that the 30' advertised. More like 70 ' in open areas. Its well built and durable. You cant go wrong for the price in my opinion.
