Great sound from a compact speaker
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little speaker, but I wish I could control this through an app. That's the only drawback I've run across. I use 2 for stereo sound. Sound and bass is great for the size.

Its ok for a little speaker
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery life is really good and its very portable. Unfortunately the sound isn't very good, it sounds tinny and there is no bass at all. Its decent for its size but there are better speakers out there.

Not too bad - you get what you pay for
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This does a decent job and the price is great, but it sounded so much louder and crisper in the store than it did once we brought it home. Can probably do a bit better with some of the more upscale models.

Posted .Hi squilch,
Thank you for the review. The sound quality will depend in the source that you're playing. You can also change the codec to see the differences.

Great for the Car
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For being a little Bluetooth speaker, this thing is crazy. I bought it for my car so I could listen to my favorite music without burning out my phone's speaker. It's loud, has good base, and it actually fits perfectly into my cup holders, so I don't have to mess with it while driving. The battery is decent, as it stayed at 100% for a few trips from home to the bus/home to work (around 4-5 days), but after hitting 70-50%, the battery drains quickly. All in all, this is a perfect speaker, and, if your looking for a new Bluetooth speaker for your car, I recommend this one over most other ones.

My phone is louder
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly I could’ve sworn this speaker was a little louder when I first got it. But just after the return policy ended I read the volume decreases during low power when the charging light flashes on and off. Well, my charging light flashes even after full charge and has been for the last 15 hrs that I’ve timed it’s use. My phone at this point (iPhone 12mini) is louder. I’d want to give it two stars because the bass is nice to have, but I kind of don’t even want to bother using it when it’s not beating my phone in the volume department which is what I want in a speaker.
