    This pretty speaker is a good bang for your buck. Mostly use it outside for yard/grilling and the bass and audio are super clean. Sometime the bass does over power the actual song but i think you adjust that in the app which i havent download yet Beside would for sure get another and pair them Or spend more and get the slighty bigger one
