    It’s cute, it’s not cheap, it’s somewhat mean, sound is ok, but for the price, go for the 110, why not?

    I'm a fan of the JBL brand; it never disappoints me. All the audio systems I've purchased are from this brand. The best sound quality I've ever heard.

    I bought this to pair up with my movie projector for summer movie nights. In an enclosed room, the bass rocks but outdoor, not so much. Still, the sound is clear and enjoyable outside.

    I needed some sounds for my boat, but didnt want to drill into it. I ended up purchasing this after watching so many YouTube video's. I dont regret it. Its small but packs a big sound. Great for outdoor use.
