The sound quality was acceptable, but the battery cover was difficult to install and the off/on switch was not positive in setting. The main problem was that it quit working after about six hours usage.

The speaker worked alright for a couple of days. Although the volume wasn’t what I expected. When the volume was all the way up the sound was garbled. A couple of days later the speaker died on me. It started squealing, turning off and on by itself. Had to remove the batteries when I threw it out because it was turning it self on in the garbage and freaking out my neighbors. Waste of money.

May be i was not lucky, but the speaker was defected.

Made annoying noise after 2 minutes of playing.

Well, I returned the speaker.

Something wrong. That is all I can say about it.

I got it at home,put new batteries on it, tried and it was working just fine. Put it inside the protective case, that by the way is realy nice, and went sleep.To my surprise when I tried to use it in the other day it was not working, I changed the batteries and nothing happened. After analyzing what had happened, I got the conclusion that when I close the protective case, the power switch gets in the way of the zipper, in a way that when closed it, the power switch stayed pressed for a long time, and that’s what I think that made it stop working. In my opinion there is something wrong with it, either the protective case either the placement of the power switch. And all of that happened from the 24th to the 25th of December. Great.

It’s a handy little speaker but itsn’t much louder than my iPhone already is. I purchased this hoping I would be able to bring it to the beach with my family so we could have music. However, we couldn’t even hear it over the waves. Plus their is no volume button. It works great for my laptop though!
