Does not work, a costly disappointment!

I wish I'd have purchased a Bose. This speaker has never worked for more than 5 minutes. I charge it constantly with different cord/outlets and the battery dies almost immediately, does not play while plugged in, and was a waste of a few hundred bucks. Wish I was able to return.
Sounds pretty good. I don't like the plastic case. It isn't tough, and scratches easily. For a portable audio system that is likely to move around and be outdoors, it is seemingly very scratchable. Sounds good, but should be in a different case.
It won’t bother everyone, but very unfortunate design choice to add a bright blue light smack dab in the middle of a retro styled speaker. I only used the speaker once so far, but I think the blue represents that the speaker is connected to Bluetooth. Not necessary at all in my opinion bc i can checj my phone to see that it’s connected. The light really takes away from the look for me. Bummer bc everything else is great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With my Model One, two PALs, and iYiYi all performing flawlessly into their second decade, choosing the SongBook was but a waiting game until the price was right. It arrived and I'm hearing new stuff in my old music. People unfamiliar with Tivoli always ask how these little units sound so big. Quality.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Keep in mind that the right speaker is a subwoofer, so don’t be surprised if it sounds like audio is only come out of the left speaker.
