Great Sound!
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my son’s 31st birthday. Was going to get one a little smaller one for less money, but after hearing this model, we just bought it. The highs are very clear due to the 3 tweezers, and dual speaker woofers put out a strong punchy bass. The battery lasts about 30 hours. He absolutely loves it. The only thing you need to be conscious of is its weight. He’s 31 and pretty strong so it’s not an issue. I on the other hand am 72; I can move it where I want without too much of a problem, but wouldn’t want to pack it up a flight of stairs as an example. If you don’t mind the weight, then it’s a no brainer.

Awesome speaker
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this speaker. As a local DJ, I've used this speaker for local parties, marathon event and family time at the park. This speaker also worls great with my home entertainment set. I was so impressed that I bought another one. My favorite perk is the part connection that allows me to bluetooth up to 7 plus speakers at the same time. You can't go wrong with this purchase. You can turn the volume at any level and still receive a crisp, crystal clear sound. This is rare. Ask any DJ. Over 10 hours of batter life. Hurry!
