solid speakers

"I usually spend a lot of time in my kitchen prepping dinner for the kids, while I do that I tend to open up YouTube and catch the NFL Highlights for the week (games that I miss), the way my house is configured, I can only watch the highlights while I cut the veggies on the counter, but when I move to the stove, I miss everything...I own a few high quality Bluetooth speakers which I paired with the Dot therefore helping me in my decision to buy the Dot rather than the standard Echo as I am using my Bose Soundlink Mini II with it rendering the standard Echo overkill for my purposes with its main distinguishing feature between it and the Dot being a built in speaker with the standard Echo"

"I purchased this speaker because I wanted a "Home assistant" such as the amazon Alexa or the echo dot, I don't have either of those so I don't have anything to compare this product to but I like the google Home mini a lot it connects to my Netflix and my chrome cast and plays stuff on my tv with just my voice...This list of things I can do some example are: I can play music on it, I can make phone calls, control my smart home television display with my voice, I can control all my smart home lights with it, I use it as my alarm clock, I ask it about the daily weather every day, I can set reminders, I can add appointments to my Google calendar, you can teach Google how to talk to you, and lists goes on"

"The sound quality is excellent, and the microphone catches my voice well from a distance, for example, I cast music on a separate speaker and listen to music while I am showering, when I want to skip a track I give the assistant (that's in my room) the command to skip the track and it still catches my voice and executes the command perfectly...I absolutely love it just for playing music to be honest - I will walk in from work now and say "Hey Google, I'm home" and it will start playing the music I set it up to play on both my Google Home and Google Home Mini speakers - so as I walk throughout the house I hear it everywhere"

"A final note I forgot to mention above is that all of the speakers can be controlled simultaneously as a group (where you can have them all set to the same volume, or even adjust each volume to different levels) or individually, simultaneously - meaning that from the app, I can play a different song on each speaker simultaneously - there's no sort of "log in" per speaker, each can be controlled on the fly...It basically is a WiFi speaker that you can control from your smart phone app, lots of streaming apps work with the system It's not a Bluetooth connection speaker to your phone that you might be used to, so just be aware if you have a large collection of music downloaded you can't play them on the system"

"I was very happy with this speaker for a time, a few days ago I was playing some music at home and suddenly I hear a distortion sound coming out of the speaker and I tough it was the song I was playing... soon enough I realize the speaker had fail terrible... know I only hear distortion making hearing music totally unpleasant...I myself needed a louder portable speaker so I returned the speaker unfortunately but if sound quality is important to you then I would recommend this speaker most definitely but if its volume that you need I would recommend looking into some other speakers"

"Now you do need power cords to run the speakers but I found another trick under the back of each one of the speakers is a small slot that you can talk your fingers right under the speakers from the backside allowing you to hide the Power cords under the speakers themselves completely camouflaging all wires to your system and if you buy the Sonos speaker stands they have a way to completely make your wires go away and that to me is Quality by itself and all I have to say Sonos is thank you for he...Everything sounds AMAZING, crisp and clear although the guy who sold me the items led me to believe that the sonos 5 was a subwoofer and that my kids to have a speaker and it would connect to their TV when it ONLY connect to their phones for music... so I had to buy them both their own soundbar systems which I only found that out when I had to go to another to return a white speaker he sold us when our entire system was black"

"When I first got this speaker what on my mind is, this is just a regular speaker but when I heard it sound I was amazed great great speaker, the bass is solid and loud and it sound very clean,to tell the the truth I'm picky when it come to sound and I'm absolutely recommend this speaker...Connected to my phone with a ease and it charged up pretty quick, Bose still live up to it's reputation, delivering high quality sound even for a Bluetooth audio I feel it's awesome and Love the rich sound that comes from a speaker with this size"

"While shopping for a portable speaker I was fully intending on buying a Bose speaker, we have another Bose Bluetooth speaker and my wife wanted one for her portable use (at office etc.) A UE Rep was standing in the speaker aisle and she gave me a great presentation on the UE capabilities...this is the only reason I put 4 stars I would of put 5 but the speaker that didnt work had problems by connecting and it would glitch out also it would be a little hard to connect it by Bluetooth and when use the aux cord it wouldnt work so check it it fully works and if it don't just return it and get a new one is a nice device I like it :)"

"i am a techy person and this is amazing I could not have asked for a better product to listen to my music , at work mostly at home sometimes, either way it works great I love it best thing I have bought in a long time...I absolutely love this and I am very excited to be able to enjoy by the pool this summer and not have to get out to change the station or to answer the phone, I also love that I can put on a timer for when I have to leave my furbabies alone so they can jam out to pass the time LOL"

"The JBL Flip 4's sound great when they're paired they even sound good by themselves but it's night and day difference when they're paired as L & R Speakers while you use the JBL mobile connect/pairing app but the downside is I don't think there's a laptop app out yet /maybe I'm wrong but they sound loud and clear nevertheless and they have great battery life; not to forget theyre waterproof so when you're lake party gets rowdy crazy like festive lake parties should get, the speaker is hardy and...Great quality; purchased as a gift for a really picky individual (likes certain brands); loved the speaker; purchased the geek squad warranty and glad...had it for over a year and one day it wouldn't charge; called the store I purchased from and they were so nice; looked up my purchase history to confirm the warranty and told me to take it to any Best Buy to exchange; had no issues with the exchange; purchased other speakers in this brand and have lasted years so one exchange out of many isn't b"
