    If you have a BBQ or a party outside this speaker is not loud enough.

    I’m not really impressed. The late Sony speaker I had, (purchased in 2014) just blew out. The bass was incredible. This system, not much. The cost you would expect more. The in store demo was not the same bass I got. I used the program to set the bass higher but still nothing.

    Expensive and its not as loud as you think and on top of that the battery is not all that great. You are honestly better with a smaller portable speaker thats easier to move around or multiple smaller speakers.

    Not worth that much money

    Not worth the Money. I figured it was a big speaker so t would have a lot of bass but no. To access the EQ you have to download and app and the app is pretty worthless. The lights don’t really follow the Rhythm of the music. The battery lasts 3 hrs with the lights on 3.5 off. You’d expect it to have a better battery life. It’s a good speaker but not the bang for the buck. My brothers ONN $130 speaker has way more bass hen this and it’s about 16 inches tall. Save your money. Unfortunately I didn’t open mine till it was too late to return it.

    This speaker is fun with it’s multi-color LED lighting, app based EQ and sound effects, but at the end of the day sound quality is mediocre and it’s much too expensive for what it is.

    Crazy Cool, Crazy Loud!

    This speaker is crazy loud, and crystal clear! You could easy host a backyard party with just one of these. I've been using it for when I watch movies via my projector on my garage door outside. My family loves it. It sounds amazing, and luckily the neighbors haven't complained yet. A couple of them have heard it, and then came over to check it out and stayed to watch the rest of the movie. You can link a bunch of these together via bluetooth, which is crazy to me, but I could see a DJ having a few of these setup at a party. The lights are cool, but most of the time I have them turned off. The only downside to this speaker is that it's pretty heavy. It would be nice/convenient if it had a handle and some wheels to transport it.

    I purchased 4 of these and was so excited for the party mode potential. Unfortunately they never worked on any of them. This is more than just a few faulty speakers but the software inn general just does not work the way they should. The quality isn't even that great to just use 1. Waste of money.
