  Excellent quality speaker

  I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. So my first thoughts upon receiving this speaker was how much it weighed. It was far heavier than most speakers and just seemed extremely durable and well built. Inside the box you will get the speaker, a carrying bag, the charger, a 3.5mm audio cable, and the manual. So before you can use it you have to charge it for 2 hours first. You can tell its charging since the power button will turn red and when its done charging the light will go away. Syncing it is easy enough. All you do is hold the play/pause button and it will enter pairing mode and then you just go on your device and pair them. I found that you can use the speaker about 30 feet from the device and it will go through at least 2 thin walls and still stay connected. You can answer phone calls using this as well and even talk to Siri. If you hold the phone button in you can switch between the Bluetooth and AUX mode. The phone system is really easy to learn and all it is that if you want to talk to Siri you just hold the phone button in for 3 seconds. If you want to answer a call you just click it and if you don't want to answer a call you hold it in a few seconds. Also you just press it twice to redial. The nice thing about this speaker that I have never seen in other speakers is that you can charge your device using the speaker. The battery on the speaker lasts around 10 hours and if your charging a device it will shave off a few hours. It connected to all my devices perfectly. From a tablet, iPhone, computer, and mp3 they all worked on this speaker perfectly. There also is a headphone plug in as well as a mic plugin. I'm not sure why you would use the mic plug in since just talking into it is clear enough and the people I have talked to on the phone by just talking into the speaker understand me clearly, but its there I guess. Also this device has NFC for easy connecting. As for the sound quality of this thing it sounds amazing. It has a built in subwoofer and an amplifier so it gets really load and the bass and everything about the sound is unmatchable. It can easily fill up an entire room and if your having a party just crank it up full blast and it drowns out the noise. If you use it outside it wont be as good as it is inside but it still gets really loud and sounds great, just not as good as it does inside. The only thing though is that if you get a call while you have the music on it will interrupt the music and say that you have a call. I wish there was a feature that would allow you to turn this off since it really kills a party to have that happen plus I can feel if my phone is vibrating. Also the bottom of the speaker is rubber and because of that you have to be extremely careful where you set this thing other-wise it will get extremely dirty on the bottom and it isn't easy to clean. Finally I would like to mention that to change the volume you hold in the +or- buttons and to change the songs you just click them. Overall this speaker is an extremely good quality speaker at an affordable price. The sound is awesome and it gets extremely loud and has excellent sound quality. The design is really spiffy and looks cool. The carrying bag makes it easy to carry this beast around and I feel this thing will never break since its so well built unless you literally abuse the thing. It connected to all my devices easy and the controls are easy to learn. I highly recommend this speaker.

  Great Bluetooth Portable Speaker!!

  • Incentivized

  I have been a big fan of Sharkk for last few years and when they ask me to provide my honest feedback on their new Bluetooth Portable Speaker, I was more than happy to do so. Let me start by saying, this product packaging couldn't be more professional and well put through together. When you open box, you can smell the freshness of new product as we expect from other big companies. Here are list of items in the box • Audio cable (to be used as AUX but you won't need it if you have Bluetooth but it is good to have) • Power Adapter • Carry Pouch (a pleasant nice surprise!) • Detail and easy user manual • Last but not least, the Bluetooth Speaker and Power Bank When you take the Speaker out, it is a SOLID unit! The grooves around it makes it easier to grab and the bottom protected surface keeps your desk, table or just shelf scratch-less. The manual ask you charge for 2 hrs before using it, however if you are impatience as me, it will work within minutes after you plug it in. Pairing with your smart was a breeze and yes it even tells you that is paired, you don’t have to guess. Looking at speaker with solid construction you would think it can play some good bass, well let me say YOU won’t be disappointed. Almost every song I played had clear sound and bass as needed. During one of the song I got a phone call, and Siri lets me know 3 times “Incoming call”. A useful feature to have. If you are looking easy portable speakers with great sound and solid constructions, go get this baby today!

  Very good speaker just 1 draw back

  This is the first bluetooth speakers I have ever had. But I've been researching as well as doing actual test on bluetooth speakers before. This is a very good portable speaker for the price, loud and clear sound with deep bass. NFC function allow it to pair with devices simply by placing the device on it. The only thing that annoys me is when it's running out of battery there would be "battery low" warning voice every few minutes.
