    I Absolutely love this speaker! Perfect for garage as im working on cars or just hanging out. Im about to purchase a second one to party connect for more stronger sound & bass. Already this is really bass heavy. But it does drain battery alot faster when extra bass is on. But over all i love this speaker A1 I highly recommended.

    Like many other reviewers may mention, this speaker is a bit underwhelming at its max volume. For how large and expensive it is, I expected it to be louder. That being said, the bass and general sound are great of course. I've gotten a lot of use out of it and it still is holding up strong for beach days and daily home use.
