I’m really impressed with this Bluetooth speaker. The sound quality is surprisingly good — clear vocals, solid bass, and enough volume to fill a room or use outdoors. The design is also very cool and stylish, and it feels sturdy in the hand. Battery life is great, and it connects to my phone instantly without any issues. Overall, a great speaker for the price. Highly recommend. Read more

Solid speaker. IPX6 so good for wet areas. BT 5.3, and can pair with another speaker. I haven't purchased a second one to try it though. This provides enough sound for the areas I've needed to use it so far. It says over 30 hours of battery, but I've not had to use it that long yet. It does hold a charge, and has been ready any time I wanted to use it. This also will charge your phone, or other USB-C device. And I didn't realize it at the time of purchase, but it also has a microphone so its also a speaker phone. Read more

Great sound and just amazing. But this was not my first Bugani and won't by my last. Love the size, sound quality is amazing and so easy to use and connect to. Amazing product and great support Read more

Out of the box, reeks of quality, easy operation, paired and working in less than 5 mins out of the box. The sound is as good anything I have heard from any similarly sized unit Solid bass, not a car thumper but very satisfying for music including jazz, classical and rock. Simple controls, simple interface. Even if the battery is half of what the promotional material says, it's going to be awesome. I have been an audiophile, built my own stereo equipment, and purchased plenty of retail speakers and amps over the years, including the some recent soundbars. The sound quality of this M83 is better any any other portable accessory I have used in the recent years, for a very reasonable price indeed. Solid build quality and the thing looks indestructible. We'll see. Right now I am more than pleased with it and would highly recommend it. If anything goes awry after this honeymoon period, I will update the review. Now back to the music from this little gem. UPDATE: The M83 has a software glitch that causes the device to lock up in a mode that prevents it from connecting, playing or ... turning it off. Very frustrating ... unless you know how to fix it, which is easy. There are several reviews here which reference this glitch, and quite a bit of chatter online about it too. But GOOD NEWS ... it is easy to fix and also easy to prevent. FIX IT: When the device locks up, blue light on or blinking all the time, no sound, won't connect and won't turn off: Insert a 3.5mm audio male plug (like the one for your celphone and for most audio devices with a headphone jack, or a speaker output jack) ..... just insert the plug into the audio plug on the M83. This will reset the software and cure the problem immediately. Insert the plug, the front indicator led will turn red for a few seconds, and then back to flashing blue ... now turn the M83 off, and back on, and the unit is reset. It's as easy as that. Keep this note because it is likely to happen to you and this procedure will fix it. As an aside, I am pretty sure I know why this is happening. The M83 has an odd, somewhat clever feature: It allows you to connect two M83's to the same host device .... When you do, the M83 software will split the two speaker sets into the two stereo channels which you can now physically separate (move the speakers away from each other) to get true stereo. And of course, more sound and more bass. Clever. The problem is that this bluetooth feature requires a software routine that has a bug in it. What happens is that if your M83 loses its connection while streaming, or if it is paired with, and talking to, more than one host (say, you have another device in the room that is paired with it, and is running with Bluetooth on) the clever software in the M83 gets caught in a loop and stuck ... locked up. That's when you get the Blue Light of Death ... it won't go out and you won't be able to turn the device off.) Now you know how to unlock it. But you can also prevent the glitch in most cases. One, always start your M83 session the same way. Start with the M83 turned off. Grab the host device and go into its Bluetooth dialog and remove the M83 from the paired list. Turn the Bluetooth off and back on. Re-add the M83, and wait until you have a CONNECT button. Now turn on the M83 and let it find the host. Hit the connect button on the M83 and let it pair and connect. Now you are good to go. When you are done listening to it, turn the M83 off, and then turn off the Bluetooth on the host. Also, while you are doing this, make sure that no other host devices are nearby which have paired with your M83 and might interfere with the pairing/connecting process. It sounds goofy, but if you follow this simple procedure you should have no problems. I cannot advise you about the two-M83 feature because I do not have two M83s and cannot test that. You will have to try that on your own if decide to go down that road. It would be really helpful if the manufacturer would put the reset procedure in the user manual, it is easy to do and works well but only if you know about it. I am going to try to downgrade my rating to 4 stars for this because this glitch is well known and the Bugani gods really need to take care of it. If they do, then we can put back the fifth star.

This speaker is actually more than worth it for the price. I've been in the marker for one for a while but didn't wanna pay 250+ for a popular brand. I took a chance on this and I'm glad I did. It sounds crisp and has deep bass. I listen to mostly classic rock and country. The size is perfect for me (water bottle for comparison) and plus it has a nice carrying handle. You can also charge your device through the speaker! If you're looking to save some money and still get a decent speaker, this is the one! Read more

The media could not be loaded. I just received my BUGANI Shock Bluetooth speaker today and I’m absolutely blown away! This thing is a total beast. The sound is ridiculously loud and clear with deep, punchy bass that you can feel in your chest — perfect for outdoor parties, the beach, or just filling the house with music. Build quality feels super solid and rugged (you can tell it’s made to take a beating). The IPX5 waterproof rating gives me peace of mind, and I love the tough, aggressive look with those huge passive radiators on the front — it looks as powerful as it sounds. Battery life seems insane (played it for hours today and it barely dropped), and pairing was instant. The handle makes it easy to carry around even though it’s a big boy (60W of power in a portable package is wild). Honestly, for the price, this speaker destroys the competition. JBL, Bose, and Sony have nothing on the value you get here. If you want loud, clear, bass-heavy sound that can handle the outdoors, just buy it. Zero regrets — already planning to gift one to my brother. Read more

Absolutely the best sound quality I’ve experienced in a portable system. I had previously bought a Doss Soundbox and this has much better overall sound, especially the bass and lower register notes when listening to metal. That said, the Doss is significantly louder (like I cannot talk to someone in my house if it’s at full volume loud) and has decent sound quality, especially outside. It’s also lasted 3 years of near constant full volume use, and I have drug it everywhere. The doss will still be my go to for get togethers in summer, but I will likely only use this one for listening the rest of time. If you just want loud for parties, doss is your friend. If you want near concert level sound quality, buy THIS speaker. For anyone speaker shopping and comparing brands, I had returned the similar speakers from Oontz and JBL. The oontz had poor sound and a faulty charging port. I’m not big on returning things as long as they’re useable, but the jbl was just too expensive for the sound quality and volume, both of which were not as good as my Doss. Read more

This is truly a very, very nice speaker. I've been jamming music on it for a week now and have not had to recharge the battery yet, which is so surprising to me and great news. The sound is clear and pleasant. Read more
