    I purchased this portable bluetooth after reading reviews and watching reviews on youtube. I am not disappointed. The one inch tweeter in the top rear is a plus. I don't use the mega bass. For me it's just not necessary. The sound quality is way much better than the previous models. I've only used it on my deck and my neighbors can't believe how loud and clear the sound is. I haven't used the app yet. I really like the new design.
