    I use this speaker in a 1500 sq ft shop with high ceilings. The sound is awesome and the bluetooth always connects quickly. I cant speak to the batter life since I leave it plugged in.

    Great sound, but terrible battery life span, battery issues in 6 months from purchase. Must be plugged in at all times to use it. Nice lights and good base but the sound levels have no medium low levels. For small rooms/small spaces It is either too loud/too bassy or not loud enough.

    Good amount of volume i can hear this thing from far away. The app that you can use with this is lackluster, but it is a very heavy solid loud speaker with no set up required.

    Best speaker. Super loud. Heavy though so I wouldn’t recommend it for a “beach speaker” amazing range and the colors are great, I use this as a room speaker. It is large but the perfect size.

    This speaker is amazing. It’s got a clear, solid sound. The sound carries well throughout our 1/3 acre yard and carries throughout our 4,000 square ft home. It lights up which is nice in the evening. Charging the speaker is quick and lasts for about 20 hours or so. It pairs easily with all our phones. We are very happy with it and highly recommend

    I bought two of these to put on a truck for a parade. They were plenty loud for what I needed. The app needs some help and when you link two together it would be nice if you could differentiate between each so you could tell which is left or right.
