Good sound, great battery life

Good crisp sound, decent bass, I got about 9 hour use of the full charge battery when used as Bluetooth speaker at 95 percent volume. Radio reception could be better, it works fine when within few miles of broadcasting tower otherwise this unit really needs an external antenna upgrade. All in all good unit, I do recommend.

Great sound and ready to get a second.

I was really surprise about the size and how loud it is. This will be perfect for use with my outdoor theater setup, especially after I get a second one, since its water resistant. You can link two together via the app to create a stereo-like sound. The app works good too and allows you to change the colors, adjust volume, equalizer, and source. The built in radio function is a bonus if you don't want to play anything via bluetooth. You can search and save channels in the app, too. The speaker feels very solid and sounds great. Looking forward to buying a second one.
