I first bought this as a Christmas gift for my sister. I liked them so much I bought one for myself. When they first came out Best Buy had them at $49.99+Tax and it was a steal. This speakers are great. Pros: Very compact size, amazing sound, excelente mid and high ranges. It has more than a decent bass for it's size. a huge plus is you can plug them in through AUX cable. Or you can even hook up another set of speakers through the built in OUTPUT and basically make any non-bluetooth set of speakers Bluetooth. They are also very sturdy dropped it a few times from about 2 feet and it works just fine. CONS: Battery life is not really good. In fact when I purchased it I got around 6 hours of steady sound at mid-volume. But as soon as the second charge cycle came. After about 2 hours of use you can hear the annoying "50% battery left " message. So I would say battery lasts about half the time of what they advertise it. Another con is; if you use the AUX input instead of a Bluetooth device to play your music, it actually sounds a lot lower for some reason. It won't be as loud. Overall I would recommend them as long as you can get then for a fair price. I WOULD NOT spend 69.99 on this. I'd rather put another $20 and get other rugged portable sound systems on the market that are out of this price bracket.

Love most everything about this speaker. It's rechargeable, decent enough volume for what I need, good sound, and easy to use. A couple of times at first, it shut down unexpectedly. I don't know why it did, but it doesn't seem to be a problem now. Also, I think it says 'battery half full' a little early. I heard that announcement about 1 1/2 hours of moderate volume playing, but it played another 3 hours without stopping and still had some battery left.

I love that this compact device packs big sound and its water resistant. Very portable so it moves easily from room to room or outdoors if a jiffy with no worries from the elements. The battery life is a little short so I tend to keep it close to an outlet but overall its a great product. Would recommend to a friend!
