Although I have a 12 watt Anker bluetooth speaker that sounds great, this one has more volume and added bass, that I really appreciate, as it gives a more robust sound. I purchased this in lieu of a sound bar for my tv and it easily synced up well with my Roku, so once I turn on the tv, I just use the roku remote for volume and mute. Makes viewing very convenient and way more affordable than the ridiculously priced sound bars. Not to mention, if I'm listening to a story or podcast through the Roku, I can just take the speaker with me to another room and keep listening as I get other things done. Of the 3 bluetooth speakers I tested for sound quality (Oonz, Belkin, and this one), I liked this one the best. It's a bit more weighty than the others, but I feel that speaks to the quality of the build of this speaker. I feel it was worth the money spent, and I'm enjoying it. It's easy to charge and lasts a good duration. Read more
I received this speaker as a Christmas gift in 2022. When I first tried to get it to work, I couldn't get it to sync to my laptop computer. I tried messing with it for a while, but finally gave up. I got frustrated because it was just one more thing I had to deal with, and I wasn't in the mood and I didn't want to deal with returning it, so I set it aside. Fast forward to March when I noticed it sitting near my desk. I decided to give it another go since my mother-in-law had taken up to watching shows/movies with me on my laptop. I have been trying to wean her off cable, since AT&T has gotten beyond ridiculous with their TV prices and my wife, and I hardly ever watch cable anymore. Anyway, when I first turned it on, it automatically synced to my laptop. Back in December, I couldn't even get the colors on the speaker to work. Great, it's working (even the colors). so, my mother-in-law and I used the speaker for a few hours, and it worked really well. My 83-year-old mother-in-law really liked it. She said it was nice not having to strain to listen to the show. Even with her hearing aids she has some difficulty hearing. Then I go to use it a second time, and it doesn't work! Now I was really frustrated, but I decided to try and figure out why it stopped working. While messing with it, I decided to choose the headphone mode while in my settings on my laptop. Why not I tried everything else I knew to do, and boom, it worked. There is about 5 to 20 seconds of silence before the sound comes through the speaker when you first turn it on. Now that I can get it to work like it is supposed to, I love it. It has really good sound and the lights are fun. The only issue I still have, is that when I check the battery level for the speaker on my computer it is consistently showing a low battery level even though I have tried to charge it both through my laptop and by connecting it to a wall outlet. The red light goes out after a while when it is plugged in, which to me indicates the battery has been charged. I have used it for several hours and it hasn't quit yet. I decided not to charge it for a while and see what happens. If I can't get it to charge, I will be back to change my review. Update. I let the battery fully discharge while watching a show. I then charged it using my laptop. After a while it did show a full charge and it seems to be keeping up with the amount of charge that should be left based on my usage. Read more
I have had this speaker for 4 years and have used the heck out of it. Its been accidentally left outside in snow, rain, and 100° temps and was perfectly fine. I use it daily and loved it! But it will no longer charge and i believe its because the port to plug the cord into is broken. Im sad I can't use it anymore! Hoping to get another one some day, because this speaker outlasted all the others I have tried, and sounded better than them too! The bluetooth has a pretty far reach, and i took this speaker everywhere. Its been dropped, partially ran over (that was year one), snowed on, rained on, kicked (accidentally lol), left in 100° sun, forgotten in below freezing temps, pecked on by chickens... you name it and this thing has probably lived through it. As you can tell by the photo, this speaker has been put thru it and still sounded amazing. Taken out by its own charging port. RIP. Read more
Very durable, sound quality is great especially with the bass function. Great size and portable. Would be five stars if the lights, when im in the mood to use em went with the music. Easy to connect and even easier to use. Not a bad speaker at all. Works great even on calls. Read more
