Overall, this is an excellent product. It's great for its size - decent sound quality, decent size, not very heavy, good features, and comes with a very reasonable price tag. Bluetooth integration is dead simple and very reliable. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that it's a mic as well as a speaker, so it also serves as a speakerphone (when connected to your phone via bluetooth).
All that said, don't expect huge, amazing sound, or absurd amounts of volume. It's very good for its size, but it is quite small, so it isn't great. It has a surprising amount of bass for such a small speaker, but it will be easily outdone by your home or car audio system. The same can be said for its overall volume. As an alternative to your phone's external speaker (or maybe a speaker built in to a computer monitor), this thing is absolutely amazing. As an alternative to a home stereo, or a good set of PC speakers, it's not so great.
What is great about this speaker is its convenience. It's small and light enough to fit in your pocket. Its batteries seem to last forever. You can connect to it via bluetooth or analog line-in (like you would with PC speakers). It has its own volume controls that will change the volume of your bluetooth device or attenuate the analog signal.
I purchased it to listen to audio books while dragging a uhaul trailer on a 9 hour trip. The truck only had am/fm radio, and the little FM transmitters I've used in the past don't work well when traveling through cities. With this speaker sitting in the seat next to me, running at full volume, I was able to clearly hear the book (but it did require full volume from the speaker). I also listened to some music, but the small size and lots of ambient noise (from driving) meant that the sound fidelity was just so-so... definitely better than listening to AM radio talk shows, but not as good as the truck's own sound system on FM radio with good reception. However, now that I own it, I sometimes turn it on in the house when I'm doing chores where there isn't otherwise a radio, and I find the sound to be perfectly acceptable. It's nothing to write home about, but it gets the job done.
I would absolutely recommend this product, but don't set your expectations too high when it comes to sound quality.

Perfect Speaker for Me!!!
This is a replacement of a product I have been using everyday for 5+ years. I live alone and I’m bedridden and love the sound produced by this little Bluetooth speaker. The old one was a gift and served me well. Only now the battery has worn down so it sometimes thinks it’s out of power even when it’s plugged into the power supply. I have given this item as a gift as well. I love this little thing. I have AirPods and it’s easy to switch between them. I listen to Podcasts Audible books, YouTube most of my day. because I live alone I don’t bother others it’s perfect for me a real bargain as well. I keep it on my night stand and can bring it with me when I make meals etc. I just lay it down on my walker or in pouch on my wheelchair. The power is amazing I can listen to music while I’m in the shower It plays on the vanity. I’m in my mid 70’s this speaker and my Yeti cup are indispensable and the two items that meet every expectation I have.
