  A little short on features

I did a lot of research and wanted big bass in a bluetooth speaker. Thats a hard thing to get, but the Groove provided. It is crisp and has the two subs that deliver good bass. It can be very loud and in a bug room you don't know where that sound is coming from because its so small.

• +

  Good bass for BT speakers, Long Battery Life, Loud for size, Small size

• -

  Bluetooth connectivity can be an issue

I use this all over the place! Outside, inside, even for the kids on a road trip in a pinch. Low and sleek profile with plentiful bump and splash of sound. Recommend for anyone on performance alone - Klipsch fan - and the PGA logo look is an added bonus.

I am blown away from the sound quality coming from this portable speaker. Sound was excellent jamming at max volume. There was no hint of distortion. Bluetooth setup was extremely simple. We took this little monster to the beach, and it was perfect.

I love going to a hotel and putting it in an open microwave. It boundary loads the sound and insulates it from the adjoining room. Camping I lay a bucket on it's side and place it about 8" back for double the bass. Very good sound and durable.

• +

  Compact, Quality, Great Sound.

I have an older vehicle and put the speaker on the dash to listen to podcasts from my phone while driving. I also take it into the office to listen to have background music. This is not high fidelity sound but adequate for background music. I found pairing with blue tooth enabled devices easy.

• +

  For a portable speaker it is relatively powerful, For most music it performs adequately, The sound is not true but pleasing., Weighted so it does not slide much in the car., long battery life (>7 hours)

• -

  It clips horribly with low base notes., Sound is not "true" but it does not offend., Would benefit from a better crosover circuit.
