Great speaker
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has great sound, but not as great as Bose. Great value for the cost (purchased on sale, less than $100). Wife keeps it in the shower. Battery life has been great, used it about 30 minutes a day for a week and has 80% life left.

Hard to see buttons
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is very good. It was easy to hook up to Bluetooth. My only problem with it is that it is black and the controls (volume, etc.) are black therefore hard to see what buttons are what.
