    We used it in a venue that held 100 people to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The sound was even stronger and crispier than the venue’s house speaker. The mic was powerful and the power lasted for 4 hours. I will definitely recommend this product!

    Compact, but not loud enough. Bought this last minute for a smaller corporate event because we had someone who was going to give some remarks and this speaker was not loud enough at all for people to hear. I wanted this to work and to love it, but just didn't work for my purposes.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
