Customers are saying

Customers commend the Elite Powered Wireless Smart Speaker for its exceptional sound quality and impressive bass response, although some found the bass could be improved with bass-heavy music. However, negative feedback focused on the lack of Bluetooth connectivity and difficulties experienced during setup and with the Alexa functionality. Several users found the setup process challenging and the Alexa feature unreliable.

    Great Sound But Always Have To Reconnect

    This is a great sounding speaker. The problem is that it always disconnects from the network, even when you select to have it stay connected. It is frustrating to keep reconnecting the speaker, since it uses a different app than Alexa. It is well built, but annoying to use.

    Disappointing in function

    The speaker is a quality product but lacks in what I was expecting. I had to download 3 apps to set this speaker up. Then trying to link my Pandora and Spotify accounts I find out that this speaker does not support those. I had to plug my phone directly into the speaker and use the apps through my phone to listen to my music. The speaker did work with Amazon music but that appeared to be the only music app that would work. I ended up returning the speaker.

    Great sound but not as easy to connect as I had hoped. Once I got it connected the sound was amazing and this speaker also lights up! Another Bestbuy Deal of the Day deal! Great price!

    This did not work well with Apple Music. You have to use their app and the app didn’t convert all of my music. I suspect it only played music I purchased and not the streamed music. This sucked for playlist.

    No way to adjust sound settings... not sure what people mean when they say great sound, it was worse than a $20 speaker. Maybe I got a bad one? Didn't even open 2nd to test pairing. Both went back. Pioneer should be ashamed. No bluetooth despite some stating such. Get a Sony and Echo instead.

    Not sure yet what I am going to do with it. Sound is OK but you need power cord hook up to power at all time and it is wireless for but not Bluetooth so another App is needed for that.

    Very nice speaker and the controls are easy to work. Sound slightly better that the other Insignia that I bought for half the price. Still kept it for the garage.

    I bought this speaker hoping to listen my Apple music just like any other amazon alexa could do. At the same time I wanted it to be a speaker for my desktop with wired connection. After spending 1 hour for set up. It turns out it will not play any music from Apple. And wired connection does not work if it is connected to wireless network. I usually don’t write reviews but with this one I couldn’t stop myself to warn others.
