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

    Excellent bass, if you love bass this speaker definitely delivers, the only drawback is that it’s battery life is not that good so taking it’s charger cable is a must if you wan to be using it outdoors for long periods of time. Also their pairing option to create a stereo pair is awesome!

    Great sound. Packs a good bass. The only improvement I would suggest is adding physical controls on the box for bass, treble etc.
