    When I first turned it on it didn’t sound good at all but don’t let that scare you. You have to download the app and go into the sound settings and set it up to your type of music. I took this to the lake and used it on my friend’s pontoon boat and everyone loved it! The longest battery life for a portable speaker I have ever seen (30 hours) you can charge your phone and plug in a microphone or guitar!!
