Simply the best!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't call a product the best very often. But I own a number of portable Bluetooth speakers from all the big name brands and to my ears this is the best regardless of price! It is built very nice and is IP67 weatherized. It has the disco style lights built in but they can be turned off (thankfully :-) ). It has the standard functions you expect these days including speakerphone and long battery life (14 to 24 hours depending on the mode you use it in). It has a nice simple design. But most importantly, the sound is simply perfect! I've found that with most of this style of speaker there is always a trade-off. If you have great bass, then you have weak vocals or vice versa. Not here. The vocals are beautifully clear and the bass is absolutely beautiful! The complete sound package without trade-offs. seriously, this is a no brainer. If you are like me and you are picky about sound quality, look no further.
