Its portability and loud volume are also frequently praised, making it ideal for parties and outdoor use. While some find it a bit heavy, the water resistance and attractive design are generally well-received. A few users mentioned that the price point could be improved and the app requires some enhancements.

    Great speaker with great sound quality! I just wish the app allowed more options when controlling the lights because there's only 3 settings to choose from, but my old xb40 speakers had like 10 different settings for the lights. Still haopy with my purchase.

    This is a great speaker for indoors but not loud for outdoors activities. If the space is small sound quality and bass is nice. Apparently, I wanted something louder for bigger space, so I might reconsider. Also, i would like one with a mixer.
