Convenient!

Excellent portability and bluetooth connection
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Recently purchased this speaker for my wife and myself for outdoor activities with our children and just general around the house entertainment while doing chores. Within our kitchen area, the sound fills the room easily with nice clear vocals for podcasts and Youtube videos, and full sound for music. It's high ratings for dust and water resistance make it perfect for outdoors whether we are doing manual yardwork or just playing with our children in the backyard. The best part is the 360 soundstage so you can move around without having the sound fade no matter where you, which was one of the main selling points. The more we use it, the more we love it.

Big sound from a small speaker.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really great sound for such a small speaker. Can play very loud without distortion, and has a rich sound as well. The battery charge lasts a lot longer than expected too. And lastly, the Bluetooth range is surprisingly good.

Quality product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t expect to get what you get from home stereo system. It does have great sound and very durable. I think I have dropped it at least twice. The battery lasted a long time and the Bluetooth has yet to disconnect on me. I would recommend it for sitting around a fire pit or sitting by the beach. Got it on sale $59.99
