  • Kind of the ultimate BBQ speaker.
I wanted a speaker for family nights, and outside activities that packed more features and more volume than your typical small cylinder you'd see with JBL's own flip, or the Bose Revolve speakers. At the same time, I was not in the market for some heavy tower beast you typically see with $600+ party speakers. This really met my expectations. Not only was the price (on sale) a good budget pickup, but it's goldilocks size and performance set it apart. It's easily luggable, has some water resistance, connects quickly and clearly to my iPhone. The panels on the back allow for different connections, including a Microphone connector, and apparently a connector for USB drives with mp3's on it. It also has an auxiliary connection if you want to play some lossless HIFI audio from your phone. The audio inside the house easily caps out at 50% before it's just ridiculously loud. This is both on battery or plugged into power. Depending on your own home, you may not need to even use the bass boost function, as it can become overpowering. When used outside, however, the bass boost is much more useful and helps round out the sound. The sound it produces is pleasant, warm and clear. It's clearly a sculpted sound to punctuate the lows (bass), but it doesn't drown out dialogue, vocals, and other instruments. It's clearly trying to be the life of the party with it's tuning. I think it does a wonderful job given how small it is for the sound it produces. My 2 year old uses the JBL microphone I bought separately for this speaker and loves to singe along with his favorite songs, as does my 6 year old. The Karaoke feature is basically a must if you have kids. It's a great way to keep singing a central part of your family's activities, without buying some throwaway frozen themed karaoke toy that's hard use and gets forgotten about. Highly recommended for families who want more sound and features than a Flip or Revolve or Soundlink but still want to be able to carry the speaker from place to place without much fuss. ... show more

  • Great speaker but wait until there is a sale and buy two
This is a great speaker and if you can afford it you should probably get two of them. I wanted a bluetooth speaker that I could take outside to use for BBQs with the kids and neighbors. I didn't need anything excessively big or loud for that but I still wanted something with decent bass and quality that didn't sound "small". I wanted a real speaker and not something you'd clip on your backpack. I did a ton of research and at the perfect moment for me this speaker was announced and I was able to get one locally a month or two later. Initial impression wasn't awesome but then I listened a bit more and I used the app to make two adjustments. I bumped the bass level on the EQ up by 1 notch and I turned on deep bass mode. I use mine plugged in which does make a difference so if you're on battery your adjustments or impression may be different. After getting used to the nuances and making these adjustments I started to realize how great this speaker is. It has solid bass and provides a clear, high quality sound without struggling and without any obvious issues. From 20-25ft we set it at 40-50% volume and it's perfect for my use case. Multiple people have commented how good it sounds. A few months later a family member was planning a large outdoor birthday party and these came on sale at the same time so I ordered a second one from Amazon so that I could use two of them for stereo mode. Everything that is good about a single speaker is enhanced with a second so the result is awesome. Once again people were asking about the speakers and commenting on how great they sounded and I am very glad that I got the second speaker. The only real drawback is the price especially if you're getting two of them which I highly recommend. $250 each or $450-500 for a pair makes more sense and is a bit easier to justify for "high quality casual" use like mine. That and "punchy" bass mode is absolute garbage. Just leave it on deep bass and you'll be fine. ... show more

  • Not too big not too small!
Love it! It is exactly what I wanted it to be and more because I didn't think this size had the app but it does! Full control with my phone - power on and off, light show, change colors, DJ sound effects!

  • Powerful speaker
This speaker was louder than I thought it would be. The highs crisp and the lows are hard hitting. If you’re looking for a garage speaker this is the one for you. The only drawback is the battery doesn’t last as long and will be a little lower.

  • Great base and sound
This speaker has great sound. The sound is very clear. The base is punchy, even without base boost turned on. I also like how the speaker goes into standby mode when you leave it plugged into a power outlet and you don't press the power button to turn it off. As soon as sound is detected from your bluetooth input, the speaker turns on and sound comes out instantly. This is great for my theatre setup. ... show more
