    This a good speaker but the bass is just too over powering, it makes for bad lows. However, if you mostly listen to music with good amounts of bass at a decent volume...it’s for you

    I had to exchange my first one, because it started freaking out in less than 2 weeks of light use (it started lowering the sound down by itself) ... I hope that the second works better.

    Best Sound Quality on a bluetooth speaker, period.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I went into best buy and compared all the speakers they had their and this speaker easily outshines them in terms of sound, volume and bass. It was on sale for $150 so it was a steal. I ended up buying two. I regret nothing. Oh and I went into the store thinking I was gonna buy the sound link revolve+ ($300) NOPE. I was also kind of interested in the UE Boom lineup but the sound quality in those were lacking. Also I dropped this speaker a few times. It survived. The build quaility is excellent.

    It's a good speaker, only problem is... it's only loud when it's charging or the first 5 minutes it's unplugged. Stepped up to a bigger version much better.

    It lights up great with unique colors to different sounds..but thought it would be much stronger than the previous model.. The battery lasts about 4 hours..

    Setup is very simple. As soon as you pair it with your phone, you get a prompt to add the application to manage the speaker on your phone. The app, SongPal controls what the light colors. It has many settings for strobe and solid and many colors. Very simple to use. You can also set an EQ from the app. Love this about it. As for the sound, if you like a lot of bass you are going to love this. The battery also seems to last a long time.

    Purchased this speaker less than a year ago for $250.00 Now it won't charge. The charger is good so we assume the battery is bad already. Only used on weekends in the summer for about 2 hours once a week. Very poor quality manufacturing. Cant find a replacement battery. Sound quality was good when it worked.
