    Bought 2 of these for my pool party as they are branded as the best outdoor Bluetooth speakers. The speakers produce good bass no doubt but lacks in loudness, I was disappointed because I literally had two of these around at 90% volume among 20 people but I decided to keep them rather then returning it because of the battery life, that’s the second best thing, that it has amazing battery life once it’s fully charged.

    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!

    Great large Bluetooth speaker

    I have been looking at getting a large Bluetooth speaker for some months now. I was originally was looking at JBL, but have not seen one in stock for a couple months now. I started looking online, but really hard to get an idea for size, sound, look, ease of use, etc. I went into my local Best Buy just to browse and found this product. Really surprised of how good it sounds. Have tried different genres of music and have been happy with how each plays from this speaker. I primarily use this around the house for outside activities. Have used already for a couple parties, and have had many compliments. Another plus is the 28 hr battery life on a full charge. I have used this for a period of twelve hours in a day and never had to worry about the battery. Have not put the battery life through a full test yet. Overall I am happy with the product. The only dislikes I would have is if you have a big interest in the party lighting on this speaker it is not as much as some other large speakers that are on the market. It was not a deciding factor to myself and honestly I don’t use. I do wish that these larger speakers would come with some wheels to make it more maneuverable. You may want to create some type of cart for it to move as it can be quite heavy and awkward sometimes. This can just depend on how often you are moving it from place to place. I am happy with the purchase and would suggest it to someone looking for a large Bluetooth speaker.
