    It's really loud for how small compact it. The battery last for about 4 hours at full volume. But that's medium volume, it does 6 hours.

    Lasts around 4-5 hours on 30% volume. Great value though. My dad who is a sound geek couldn't believe how well it sounded. He was really impressed. The equalizer is a great feature. The lights don't add anything honestly but a cool feature still.
