    Great little speaker. Sound is amazing for such a small footprint. Was a hit as a stocking stuffer for Christmas. Battery life is also very good. The different colors are also very nice.

    I use this down in my basement when I'm dancing to online dance classes. It gives a better sound and greater volume than I can get from my iPad. I had no problems setting it up and find it's easy to use.

    It’s sturdy, stylish, and works great. I can connect it to my iPhone and iPad. It’s loud enough to hear and has great bass. I love it a lot! I am glad I got one even though there were some negative reviews.

    I use it while golfing, plenty loud and lasts a full round. Connects quickly and is durable. Some golfers take their 20 handicap a bit too serious, volume control is easy to use on the unit for those "pros".

    Love this speaker, I use it in the shower to catch the morning news and some quality tunes. Charge last a long time and the sound is great. The strap comes in handy and you can hang it anywhere.

    This is a mini speaker I can use while working outside. I can leave the music inside and place this nearby for decent sound. The range is very good. I can place it almost anywhere in my house or small yard to get sound. The sound is good for the size. The sound is better than I have had in other speakers of this size. The price was good too. This does not replace dance speakers, but it is excellent for listening to music or podcasts. The sound for podcasts is excellent. Different tone voices give me a hard time with other speakers. This is my favorite for the size. The bluetooth feature is easy to use. I can also pause my Spotify or podcast remotely.

    Great sound from this small size speaker. Holds a charge for a long time, though haven't run it from a full charge to dead yet. Perfect size for what I'm using it for and the price was definitely right!

    I bought this speaker, not certain I would like it. Turns out the sound is quite good for a little speaker and it's pretty easy to set up and use. It's very portable and seems quite sturdy -- nice looking too. So I bought a second one so I could get the benefit of stereo. The stereo setup is a little confusing but once you get the hang of it it works well. The stereo is accomplished by first connecting the speakers together using the "Add" button on both speakers. Then one of the speakers becomes the main speaker and you must connect your music source (smart phone) to that speaker. The connection between the speakers has already been done so you don't connect the music source to both speakers independently.

    It has a long battery life and sounds pretty good for such a small speaker! Very easy to use, I take mine on the back porch whenever we grill or just want to chill outside. Very good for entertaining!
