    Good solid speaker with Bluetooth features. We bought it as remote speaker to elderly Mothers iPhone and works well. The buttons on side can be hard to see as color is same as speaker covering itself. Easier to see fir young people but hard for older folks. But overall good value.

    Compact but puts out a lot of sound. Take on a trip to the ocean so you’ll need to turn up the volume to hear over the waves but not too loud to disturb other people at the beach.

    You can’t expect everything on a small speaker like this to sound like there’s a subwoofer inserted inside to make it sound like a surround sound or increase the bass or adjust the treble and volume. No, definitely not. But for a price, handy in size, & quality wise, it’s not really bad.

    I bought two of them, the are very easy to sync together for stereo sound. I bought them as a gift for a friend, but I tried them out before giving them away. Very good for the money, easy to use.

    I love this item. It has big sound in a little speaker. For me it can be another way to experience the music. I pick it up and cup it in my hands. I can not only hear the music, but also feel the music.

    Purchased this Bluetooth speaker for a white elephant Christmas gift. Many of the youngsters wanted it, and it was stolen from one recipient to the next. Great small speaker with Bluetooth and awesome bass sounds.

    I loved the difference between when I would play my speaker vs when someone else tried to play it, but the only reason I took them back was because I wanted a bigger kind, just too over priced

    Powerful little Bluetooth speaker - do not let the small size of this speaker full you. Output sound is fantastic. Would recommend if only needing a Bluetooth speaker for a small room or kitchen.
