Great sound in a vertical (tower) speaker
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a blue tooth speaker for my High School classroom, as the setup in my classroom need cords to be "cut". I had a $50 rewards certificate, so I was looking for something with good quality that was around $100. This speaker was the perfect purchase. I leave it plugged into power and and it always connects to my i-pad each day. It is also easy to connect another device quickly if needed. I control the volume through my device, so I'm not sure about the ease of doing this on the speaker itself. Since it stands on it's end, it has a small footprint, which is something I appreciate, since it is sitting on a desk. Since I do not use the battery, I'm not sure of the battery life after using this speaker for over 1 year now.

best usb-c speaker
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great speaker for the budget oriented buyer. It is not too expensive yet it is very loud and has a Cristal clear sound. The battery is good and can be charged with a usb-c cable, which most device come with.

Excellent speaker for the money
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this speaker for 6 months now. I use it at work almost daily. I have always had a higher standard for sound quality, and some (most) bluetooth speakers just don't cut it. This speaker sounds awesome, great bass, clear vocals, crisp highs. Easy to adjust as well, if the highs on your music is too crisp, just turn the speaker away from you... easy enough. This thing has been dropped, rolled around, put through the ringer and it still sounds great. Pairs easily with the one my wife has as well and you can get a true L-R Stereo sound from them. If I were to damage this and it quit working, I would buy another one like it. One of the better bluetooth speakers out there in my opinion.

It allows me to place the throughout the house/room and jam. May add more in the future. Especially if price drops. 1 alone is very loud and rich in bass.

Good Speaker
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent speaker for $100, good for $80, and an absolute steal at $60. The Bluetooth connectivity is super simple and has good range. Party mode and stereo mode are also great additions. Can get very loud but tends to sound distorted at Max volume. Definitely loud enough for a big kitchen or garage gym though.

Great Little Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good small portable speaker. It connects easily and provides a nice rich sound. Got it for my mother who had been listening to music through her phone. Mom is not tech savy and she is able to use it with ease. Definitely a vast improvement over her phone's speakers!
