    It is great we love using it for parties and it gets loud used it at work which is very loud without the speaker and I could hear it full blast no issues whatsoever and the waterproof feature is awesome. It was in a big rain storm and still works perfectly

    I like heavy bass in all genres of music and this thing delivers. If deep, smooth bass isnt your thing, you have the ability to make it more punchy or even turn it way down. I find myself listening to this more than my Sonos Five. Battery life is 5-7 hours which is plenty for me.

    Works great for around a fire and at the pool. Seems to last decent for power usage and gets pretty decent for being loud.

    I’ve had these for about 6 months now and they are fantastic. Even my hubby enjoys using these speakers while he works. I only use them plugged in and can’t attest to battery life outside of always being plugged in.

    It's a party in a box, says so right on the label. Seriously, the sound from this light-weight cube is excellent, even at high volume. The dancing light has different modes and can be turned off altogether (my preference). The battery lasts all day and then some.
