    Impressive Sound, So Little

    I used this for my music subscription Bluetooth from my phone while I'm on the patio cooking out with friends and they where surprised at how nice this little box sounded. On a daily basis when me and the wife are cooking in the kitchen this box is on listening to music, audiobooks, fake news. We love asking google questions and the speaker has no problem hearing me but google has a problem understanding me, lol. Crystal clear calling, no problems what so ever. Battery life - If I didn't get any calls it lasted longer than 6hrs, if I recieced calls it's below 6hrs depending on how long the calls are.

    Good Sound from a Tiny Speaker

    It has pretty good sound. It definitely sounds better than the HDMX Chill bluetooth speaker that I compared it with. Although I did not detect any of the advertised 'Mega Bass', it has very clear high frequencies and good midrange. I did notice that if placed 4 or 5 ft away, it offered up some good sound stage depth and it can also get very loud without distorting. The unit comes with convenient rubber feet for good footing, a recharging cable that is almost too short to be useful (the HDMW Chill came with the same short cable), and handy wrist strap for toting the speaker around. Overall, I like it.

    I needed a speaker that could work with Alexia so I returned it and bought the sonos instead, which I really like. If you are looking for a speaker to take to the beach or just being out ,maybe it will work but for me it wasn't the right fit

    This little guy doesn’t have great sound, my phone is louder. Also, I paired it with one phone and then couldn’t pair it with a different phone (this could just be me, but I tried a few times). Returning it.

    It worked in the beginning but after a while the Bluetooth would not connect to my iPhone. It was too late to return at that point. Piece of junk.

    I returned this as the volume was lower than the 2.99 one I purchased at Menards. I would not recommend purchasing this particular speaker. You will be disappointed.

    It worked great. But it has lasted only 3 months. It is probably a manufacturing defect. I don’t know if there is a warranty for this.

    It’s small and sound isn’t the loudest, it for sure was not worth almost $30. Don’t buy this.
