Great Wireless Speaker

I own 2 Shoqbox SB7200 and use them all the time. I can pair both together for R/L stereo playback, or use them individually. I keep one at home and one at the office. Both work great.
The only negatives are I can find no Firmware Updates from Philips that improve the functionality and the motion sensor can be annoying when used in close-quarters (accidentally pauses music).
Love my Shoqboxes!
Pros: portable, wireless bluetooth, great design, pairs for r/l playback
Cons: no firmware updates
I would recommend this to a friend!

needs slight improvement

I have had this for over a year now, i use it on a DAILY basis. When fully charged it lasts me a full 8 hour shift at work and another 1 or 2 hours after. It does sound good and better than alot of speakers the same price. I have dropped it quiet a bit and still holds up. HOWEVER the sensor in the front to change songs and pause is a really annoying but you can disable it. This leads me to the second problem. The button clicks are very inconsistent you may have to try sever times to disable it. The whole language menu is a annoying Sometimes it resets itself and i have to go through it. It also sometimes beeps for no reason and sometimes reads my texts.
Pros: good sound, battery on mine has been great, very tough
Cons: the sensor is annoying, menu is hard to use because of inconsistent button, the menu period is garbage doesnt need it., microphone doesnt work
I would recommend this to a friend!

pretty good, though not perfect

the speaker itself sounds really good. good bass, good treble, good everything. i even like how it shakes when i play music with strong bass!!
it looks good, it feels solid and it is not heavy. good performance over all.
the problem is that if you lose your user's manual, you will not know how to use the functions. it only has one button, and it is used for everything. for certsain things, you have to press it once, twice for others, and thrice for something else. the sensor is realy anoying sometimes: it works good when you want to change or pause songs, but if you grab the speaker, say, to move it from place to place, the sensor will be activated if you dont grab it by the right side.
last thing, the battery doesnt last a lot. it may be because i have had it for a long time. or play it too loud
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not competitive

I have several bluetooth speakers and the Shoqbox has become a paperweight. Pairing is unreliable, button controls are not consistent. Can't recommend, particularly since it is mostly inoperable when it doesn't easily connect via bluetooth. Too many other bluetooth speakers that work without any effort.
Pros: decent sound
Cons: software is clunky not responsive, poor bluetooth pairing a huge liability
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works with all my devices.

Works great with my iPod nano, my Droid Ultra, and my desktop PC (running Fedora 19 Linux). Pairing to all of them is easy.
Bass is clear... I'd expected crisper highs, but I'm happy with it overall.
There are two speakers inside, and my PC says they are stereo... though so close together most people won't notice. (Want wider stereo? Buy a 2nd unit--I have not tested that feature.)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verified Purchase:Yes
The only component I have yet to try is pairing a second unit for stereo operation, otherwise this product has exceeded all expectations. I use it daily and love the sound quality and the portability as well as the speaker phone option!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing product

When we first got it. We set it up convinced that the Bluetooth was going to be bad qaulity but it was amazing. It can be very loud and we hear all around the house. The easiness of the Bluetooth is done so well. The music from the iPhone is played amazingly. And I highly recommend this speaker to everyone. We have not tetested the splash proof or drop preof yet but the rubber padding has us convinced that it is truly a shoqbox. Could not be any more pleased with this. We bought it for our beach house and it has worked out so well. The only thing that I say against it is that you need to keep the phone pretty close to the box or else it won't play music. Hope you enjoy it.
Pros: sound, ease of use, qaulity and durability
Cons: phone or mp3 device has to be close to shoqbox
I would recommend this to a friend!
