Great speaker, transportable, but not loud enough.

This Bluetooth speaker was easy to hookup & very clear sound.

Things have clearly moved on since I last bought a speaker like this. The sound quality is better than I expected. The unit looks great, seems robust enough and just worked straight out of the box in a very intuitive way. I’m tempted to buy another…

It’s a good speaker, and works for my sons room. It’s worth the money if your using it for a small room or any room, have yet to try it outside though. But I do prefer speakers that have surround sound.
