My experience!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the speaker but had a horrible experience getting it. I had looked for this item since it was on sale and after 2-3 weeks one came available 40 miles away so I called and it was there so I used my credit card to purchase it.I was told I could pick it up anytime. I was able to go after 2 hours so I drove the 40 miles to pick it up.Once there I was told I could not have the product because it had not went through the fraud department yet. I called customer service inside the store and after waiting around 25 minutes I finally talked to someone and asked if there was anything she could do and she basically told me to go back home and wait for an email. I had to cancel my order and go to an ATM and withdraw the cash to go back and buy the speaker. Then the manager told me I would be refunded within 2 days and when I was not refunded in 2 days I called to make sure I was going to get it, I was told it takes 5-10 days so I was lied t again.. It was ridiculous because I had my ID and the card used to order but could not have the product I paid for. Then the customer service rep treated me as if I was an inconvenience and would not even attempt to help me.I felt like I was not valued as a customer.

5 stars for this stereo
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not bad for the price. The battery life is good for a whole day at the beach or if I’m Working in the shop and need music. The construction is very sturdy. I’ve dropped it a couple times and it’s still booming. The charge lasts at least a whole day at full volume. I’ve used it in my boat and my keep as a sound system when I didn’t have one installed and it worked great. I’d buy another one anytime.

Good, but JBL still better

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great speaker with great sound quality! I just wish the app allowed more options when controlling the lights because there's only 3 settings to choose from, but my old xb40 speakers had like 10 different settings for the lights. Still happy with my purchase.
