I received this speaker as a gift. I was impressed with the good sound out of such a small speaker. Bluetooth was easy to set up and pair with my phone. Love that you can control the speaker from your phone. Great for the pool or anywhere.
Looks as if the design allows for the circular pieces on the side to move to increase bass, but that is not so. That being said, for the price, it is still a nice speaker and is worth a purchase.
Before I proceed, I want to emphasize that this is not going to be a review with lies or sugarcoating. This is my honest opinion about a product I recently purchased.
I bought this product, thinking it would be an average speaker, but I was disappointed. Let's start with its size. Compared to a regular wireless speaker like the JBL, it's unnecessarily big. It should be smaller to make it more practical and easier to fit into different spaces.
Secondly, despite its large size, it fails to deliver loud music. The maximum volume is significantly lower compared to other speakers available in the market. This is a major drawback, as the purpose of a speaker is to provide clear and powerful sound.
Now, let's talk about the absolutely useless feature of a microphone in this speaker. I mean, really? There's no need for a microphone, and to make matters worse, the audio quality when using the microphone is terrible. It sounds like I'm talking into a potato. If I want to record voice memos, I have to go through the hassle of disconnecting and connecting another device.
To sum it up, the size, volume, and microphone are major pain points with this product. It's disappointing that it doesn't meet expectations in these crucial areas.
