DO NOT BUY!

I wish I knew about this product prior to purchase. Dummy, I should've done my research. SMH! Initially, I thought this product was great, good sound and bass. BUT, there is a major flaw with this product which is a very common issue after reading other reviews. The speaker tends to shut off automatically after 20-30 minutes of use, which is very frustrating. I have to turn the speaker on everytime it shuts off. I would NOT recommend this product to family, friends, neighbors, pets, etc. Please, make your research look for better a product.

Hi San Andreas, <br /><br />ION support here!<br /><br />The Ion Audio Total PA Live will enter an energy-saving mode after 15 minutes unless an audio signal is detected and playing.<br /><br />When the unit enters this energy-saving mode, the display and lights will turn off and audio playback will be disabled, but the unit will still be powered on. To resume normal use and disable the energy-saving mode, simply turn a knob or press a button on the unit. Once it is awakened, the lights and display will turn on and audio playback can resume.<br /><br />If you should have any further questions, please don&#39;t hesitate to contact our support team through www.ionaudio.com/support.

was great for 15 minutes…

Do not buy this! The lights were fun and sounds was great for the 15 minutes that it worked then the base went out completely. We trouble shot, tried multiple phones, restarted it and NOPE! So glad we tested it before the party or it would have been even worse.

Nice while it last

Only worked for about 15 months and was only used maybe 20 times in that time period. Now it won't turn on, it's not the fuses. Just a cheap product. Very upset. I have other Bluetooth speakers that are much older and still work. What a joke of a company. Ion you suck.

You are the DJ!

Picked one of these up yesterday at my local Sam's. This thing rocks, it has a built-in FM tuner, Bluetooth, cool lighting, three additional aux inputs and a microphone included. If you really want, get 2 of them, they will pair together and give you true stereo. No need to hire a DJ for your next gig. (Sorry DJ guys)

Shuts down at the 20 min mark

Sound quality is great, lights are great but the most important thing to me is quality of sound and product over all, unfortunately the 20 min "overheat or auto power save" is unfortunately true. After about of 20 min of playing audio and a very low volume may I add, it did shut down I was testing prior to party and thank God I did. I don't belive it is an auto shutdown is to save power. I personally believe due to global mrico-chip shortage seems as if they are useing a sub-par supplier because I could not imagine a company would knowing would use such trash that would auto power down every 20 min. Very unfortunately should it not have been for this issue I would of kept them BOTH. I did buy two and sync them together for superior sound but as stated issue is present. Return line here we come.

Hello, <br />I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with your device. Playing a speaker at low volume for 20 minutes should not cause it to shut down , unless the source is too low and does not trigger the threshold needed to keep the speaker on. Please reach out to us at www.ionaudio.com/support and we would be happy to troubleshoot why this may be occurring!

DO NOT BUY - BROKE AND NO RESPONSE

Bought this for New Year's Eve and it worked great. Used again January. Now won't turn on at all, completely dead. Comes with spare fuse, changed it even though fuse didn't appear blown. Very electrically inclined brother troubleshoot and nothing. Reached out to company via several emails and phone call and they've not responded at all. 90 day warranty is a joke! $200 machine only used two to three times indoors only, broken and I'm feeling swindled. Buyer beware.

Great speaker

I bought this speaker 2yrs ago for my husband's birthday and it's a great speaker. I mean, I never leave reviews, but I was like this is something that needs a review because it's indestructible, lol. I mean this speaker has been kicked, punched, thrown and left out in the rain overnight and the next day and still going strong with no issues! If you're looking for a great speaker, that's going to last for a long time. This is definitely well worth your money plus more.
