    Amazing speaker

    Posted .

    This speaker is just about perfect. So much better than other products that claim to have good bass. Range goes all the way down to 20 Hz which is much better than other speakers in this range. I attach this to my bike handlebars with a simple bungie cord. Yes, I'm one of those awesome people who listen to music while riding around the city. Pretty much everyone else seems to enjoy it. It's a huge improvement over my last (much smaller) speaker. The bass thumps, and the volume is good. It's somewhat directional, but this limitation is worth it for the sound quality. SUPER long battery life. Fairly quick charging. Its great that it's water resistant and can charge a phone or other device too. Very solid all around. It might be nice if there was an easier way to attach it to my bike, but that's an incredibly minor complaint. You should definitely get this.

    Unfortunately I notice after I bought it that you need to have your phone and this device in the same room to be able to link. If is too far from your phone it gets disconnected which it's annoying. Besides that is ok

    The speaker is not as loud as I expected to be. Great for a room or small office area. Perhaps if you pair a second speaker it would be louder.

    I use this all the time. The only thing that bothers me is the charge doesn't seem to last as long as specified. I'm not sure if I should exchange it for a new one.

    I picked this up as an alternative to the Bose products, I was disappointed, the sound was muffled and distorted. Returned and bought the Bose Wave II

    A disappointing product for amplification

    My computer speakers were louder on their own than with the addition of this, top-of-the-line Sony product. It this no amplification features of its own. Turning up the volume control on the unit does nothing. It merely turns up the computer's volume controls.
