    Solid Speaker for Large Gatherings

    Bought this speaker for group events at home and for my daughter's birthday party. The speaker is plenty loud both in- and outdoors. The longevity of the battery is great and has not died during any extended uses relying on it. The bass hits well and pairs well with the other tones. The only thing to keep in mind is the majority of the speaker is plastic material so it scratches/scuffs pretty easily. If I really had a need, I would purchase an identical speaker to pair with the one I purchased.

    To start, this thing is HUGE for a battery operated blue tooth speaker. It is the size of a cooler, and with the top and bottom handles it carries like a cooler too. So, it's perfectly portable, but not easily carried very far at all. Otherwise, the sound is great. It's no Bose, but it's close; very big sounding. The lights are not very bright, so easily washed out by any other light source. I love the mic input and guitar input options; in fact, this has become my favorite guitar amp, over my actual guitar amps!

    Very happy. My journey started by hearing a party speaker at a discount store. I said to myself, “Self, if this off brand garbage sounds this good, I wonder if anyone makes a quality one.” Well, it didn’t take long to figure out that JBL, Sony, Bose and a bunch other folks were in the game. I did enough research to be dangerous and selected this one based on size, performance, and price. And I could not be happier. It’s actually capable of being too loud for most situations and the bass is so punchy that I rarely even turn on the MegaBass. Very happy with this purchase and would buy the same one all over again if I had to.
