I purchased this speaker to replace a defective Bluetooth speaker. It was fully charged in about 2 hours. Connection to my phone via Bluetooth was easy. Overall the sound is pretty good. It is a bit tinny sounding, but for the price point it is to be expected. The only real downside is that the battery needs to be recharged after about three hours. That doesn't quite make it for a full day of remodeling work. It can be plugged in, but it has the same shortcoming as my last one. The power connector sticks straight out of the back of the unit. It is easy to break the connector if knocked over or the cord is tripped over. A simple solution would be to have the connector covered or provide some sort of strain relief.
I purchased this top help me in teaching groups that were hard of hearing. it works well. i do not like th colored lights flasing. they are a distraction
I received this as a gift. I love it. I can listen to my FM station which is usually difficult to do at my house. I love the lights too. Overall great speaker!
