Portable Outdoor Bluetooth Speaker

★★★★★ Wow. I've had a couple of fairly expensive and a couple of inexpensive Bluetooth speakers. This one is the best, and priced in the middle. I'd say that makes it a great deal.First, let's remember the limitations of Bluetooth speakers:1. The music source is usually your phone, which has used very "lossy" compression to be stored on your device. So it's not particularly crisp and much of the subtlety has been permanently lost.2. It requires a digital-to-analog converter to turn the electronic signal into sound. I spent more than the cost of this Fugoo for just the converter in my home stereo (it's a Schitt Bifrost, by the way, also a steal for audiophiles).3. Bluetooth itself loses a lot of fidelity - compare using a wire and using Bluetooth in your car, if you have the music Bluetooth connection in your vehicle.Given these significant limitations, the sound from this little thing is amazing! If you need something louder than this, use headphones or wire up some real speakers. I've played opera, hard rock, acoustic, jazz and classical music through it in the first hours, and all are represented quite faithfully.It has good tonal balance and delivers sound that is as good as anyone could expect from such a tiny box. If you don't think it delivers bass, put it in the corner of a room (this will reinforce the bass for any speaker). I can hear cymbals, sibilance and snares (yeah, I'm a drummer).Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

★★★★★ So I'm gonna begin by saying I'm a speaker snob and am also a huge fan of bass. It's difficult to find the right balance of bass and treble in a small speaker like this. Usually, in order to actually hear it while in shower, I have to turn it up so high that either the treble Makes my ears wanna bleed and /or the bass distorts everything else. I have a small bose Bluetooth non waterproof speaker that is decent. I mean it's a bose so if course it isn't bad. However, it tends to have muffled, drowned out vocals due to imbalanced bass when turned loud and in order to hear it over normal outdoor sounds while in the pool or from the counter while showering, it basically has to be at max volume so it's quite distorted with some heavier bass songs. Sorry... The point..This speaker has, in the last 12 hours that I've owned it, impressed me beyond anything else in its class and that includes my bose. My bose dies quite regularly when new out of box it would drain quickly and its not waterproof or even water resistant and was over 200 bucks 2 years ago. So, I'm thinking I've found myself a more affordable and certainly equally if not maybe even a superior sounding brand to start using around the house. Of course, it's only been 12 hours... Entire thing could crap out tomorrow or something... Updates will come if so but I've used it in shower as well as have hooked it to a television that had bad sound due to crap TV speakers and it was as good as some of the 200 dollar soundbars.So far worth it and then someCame charged out of box with nice, long auxiliary cord and long micr USB charger cord and charging box. This is high quality for sure

★☆☆☆☆ First of all, i read a Lot of reviews and i thought that this was the speaker i was looking for but it was not don't even close and this is why, the Bluetooth has poor conectivity and when i Say poor it is poor. When you listen music from your phone its ok the soundtrack it's clear and loud enough but that is when you listen music and only do that because if you try ti do something else un your phone ir starts to make a buzzing in the Twitter side like an interference that males unpleasent the music and thats only if you try to see some texts if you want to use it whit an app like Amazon video or Netflix is impossible the audio starts to cut for the interference or something that makes the processing. if i could i Will return it but i'm from México and the shipping cost me what i pay for the speaker so i just want to say don't buy these speaker There is better options at this price ir lower.
