Polk Audio Omni S2 Rechargeable Wireless Speaker: Your music can follow you outdoors for fun by the patio or pool with this wireless speaker, which connects to your wireless router from up to 100 feet away. Ten hours of battery life and rugged construction keep the tunes rolling, rain or shine.
Posted by: Brian
this is a great sounding speaker. i have had a few wireless speakers in the past and this is the best by far. keep in mind that this is NOT a bluetooth speaker (more on that later) as this is DTS play fi as stated from other reviews. this connects to your home wifi and while POLK recommends you have a certain router, i dont have what they recommend and still works fine. i notice on some reviews that they have problems with dropping of or no speaker found i have not had that problem. i even have a mobile carrier hotspot and have used it on that and have no issues
some reviews point out that you only have option of PANDORA, but the app also has SPOTIFY, AMAZON prime music and internet radio so a lot more options. you cannot use YOU TUBE as app does not support it
a few things of note, this speaker does not have a true POWER button. manual states to plug in AC ADAPTER to turn on. i took speaker to family members house and while we where outside, i forgot to bring adapter. luckily daughter was at home and she brought it so we can enjoy outside. i called POLK the next business day and they mentioned to push the SETUP button on the back until the light turns on. keep in mind that this setup button is to connect to your wifi so if you hold it down too much, it will kick off your wifi and you will have to go thru setup all over again. to turn off you will hold down the POLK button in the middle which is also the PAUSE button.
one good thing that POLK just did was as of 3/28 i received an email that Bluetooth adapter was now available. i ordered immediately and received by 4/1 so i plugged it in and now i dont have to use the app anymore and can enjoy like any other bluetooth speaker.
SOUND is great...i listen to all kinds of music from latin/tropical. country, r&b, top 40 and talk radio. one thing i noticed, is that this speaker has a lot of bass...some will like that, some wont. while listening to talk radio, the voices sound pretty deep so can get a bit boomy. there is no option to lower or increase bass. also no real option to check battery life. i have had a few speakers where you push a button and it tells you % left. this one does not. it notify you with blinking lights when you have 20% left
overall this is a GREAT speaker. i started with 4stars, as no true power button, and is a bit heavy for when you take outside as it is portable, but with addition of the bluetooth, i rate 4.5 stars

I would recommend this to a friend!
