    I am rating this 3 stars because when I told the associate I needed a speaker large and loud enough for outdoor parties, he recommended this model. There was no easy way to find out the wattage output when compared to the JBL or Samsung speakers in the store. It will work great for indoor parties but is clearly not loud enough for outdoor crowds of more than 50 people. I returned the item and will buy the much larger model. It was most-likely a lack of knowledge of the associate because he could not find much information on this device.

    Haven’t had a chance to have it out all day by the pool yet. But we have used a bit in the house, it has lots of clear volume. The lights are an added plus it seems to be a great addition to the back porch.

    Years of purchasing blue tooth speakers, big and small. This one here, is by far the best large speaker I have gotten. This is not a tiny backpack speaker, this one is 2ft tall, and has some weight to it. So it isn't going to get blow off the table, or just easily knocked over. Built in battery for 20hrs. I haven't tried more then 10hrs yet, and this is simply working awesome. The built in USB, that allows me to charge my phone at the same time is great... especially away from home. Pairs via blue tooth in a short few seconds, and you are ready to go. Now for the important stuff... sound. OMG, the bass. Deep verberating, and just rocked my deck. You have your favorite songs, fire it up... and the entire block is going to know you are jamming. LOUD. Full volume is going to be WAY too much for most.. So you are going to have no problem to host with this bad boy. The light system is slick, adds a little touch. Muted and faded, but noticeable. And with the easy to use app, you can change the colors or turn them off. I am looking forward to get another one, so I can do the party link. But that is going to take some time. But when that comes, this is easily going to replace any need to have mounted outdoor speakers on the deck. Need the tunes? Get the speaker.
