pros: 1. sound - for something this small, it puts out a surprisingly warm sound, with quite a bit of volume relative to its size. a bit of clarity can be lost at high volumes, but for its size, it is quite impressive. 2. size/form factor - i personally am a fan of the form factor, if not the design. i like the small footprint, as opposed to some of the horizontal designs. 3. battery/charging - micro usb charging, supposedly up to 8 hours charge time (depending on volume of course). i've used it in the back yard for a few pool parties and it's lasted several hours at moderate volume with no issues. 4. connectivity - bluetooth or 3.5mm aux input. 5. water resistant - i haven't tested this, but is a nice touch for outdoor use. 6. internal mic for speakerphone calls. not the best quality, but also probably not what you're using this for.
cons: 1. dated design - while i do like the form factor, the design appears a bit lackluster to me, though certainly not a bad design by any means.
overall, i quite like this little speaker. no real issues with it in my opinion.
