This is a GREAT speaker for the price. The bluetooth works really well; it connects to both my iPod mini and my Android smartphone, and the sound is REALLY loud. I usually have to turn the volume down on the speaker because it's so loud, as I only use it for my tiny living room or my desk at work. I imagine it would be great for parties, especially in a backyard. It also comes with a male-to-male aux cord (plugs into the speaker and a normal size headphone jack on a device), so if you don't have bluetooth, you can still use it. A few things that bug me a bit: it's battery life is not as long as I would like, especially since bluetooth connections use a LOT of battery (but it is as advertised, about 10-12 hours), the aux cord is kinda short (yes, I know it's sold as a bluetooth speaker and I could purchase a longer aux cord separately), and for whatever reason, the sound is a LOT quieter when using the aux cord as opposed to the bluetooth. I have no idea why the sound would be quieter when connected directly via a wire, but so it goes. I can't really comment on the quality of the sound, as I am no expert on sound and my hearing is not the best since I have scars on my eardrums, but it sounds perfectly good to me, crisp and clear.
Great Value: When you see big name portable bluetooth speakers that cost hundreds of dollars, and you see a generic product for a fraction of the price, you expect a terrible-sounding piece of junk to show up. Well, that's not the case here. Sure, you shouldn't expect to fill a baseball stadium with booming sound, but for casual use at a get-together, any room in your house, or in the car, the SoundBot SB571 is a fantastic, low-cost option that has all the features you'd want including an aux input (for devices that don't have bluetooth), Micro USB charging, surprising range, and volume/playback buttons right on top.
Good Sound: Again, you have to manage expectations for a product in this price range, but for it's low price and small size, the SoundBot has clear highs and well-defined mids, and... not so good bass. But for the variety of music I listen to (country, rock, etc.) for the most part this little unit does not disappoint, though sometimes I would appreciate just a little more "kick" out of it.
Premium Build Quality: Here's where the SoundBot really shines - the quality of the device rivals units ten times the price. Unlike most things you could get for this price, I'm confident that it will last a reasonable time, given the weight of the unit and the overall premium-feeling construction and materials.
Conclusion: Buy it right now - don't waste your money on an over-hyped expensive unit when the SoundBot should deliver a better value and reasonable sound for years to come.

THIS THING IS MY BOI, BLUE! AWESOME SPEAKER!!!
A gold standard in blue tooth speakers, my go-to speaker for all occasions. Awesome, exactly what I was looking for. First, we are talking about a speaker, so the sound quality, for me, is of utmost importance. This lil baby comes through like a champ. In both volume and clarity, she hits like a welterweight, but comes in a lightweight body, you know what I mean?Next, you are always worried about play time with blue-tooth speakers. She goes for 10 hours according to the box, but what about in real life?I used her to wash and detail my car, for maybe 3 hours. After that, I used her again to play music from my computer for 2 more hours. After all this, she was still going strong. Absolutely no drop in volume. I can hear her from across the parking lot where I wash my car.You can check the battery level on your iphone, on that upper swipe-down-drop-down menu, the one with the stocks.I love this thing, I bought it to listen to while I wash my car, but you can take it with you anywhere. Parks, picnics, the lake, even in your car. Next time your just hanging with some old friends on a patio or a dock or wherever, just bust this baby out and together with your smart phone, you just became the cool guy that brought music to the party. and that's always a good thing, fo sho ;P enjoy, good people, enjoy. A great buyNOTE: On my review video, when I jack it up to 100% volume, I noticed that the iphone5s I was using to record the video reduced the sound automatically. Trust me, it got LOUD AS HECK! The video absolutely did not do it justice, and you can noticeably hear a drop in volume on the video playback. In real life, it was getting louder and louder. Think of the volume on your living room tv all the way jacked up, with good quality. That's what you get out of this baby.

1. The speaker has a bit of weight to it.. but in a good way. Gives it a solid feel in the hand.
2. The matte finish looks good and gives the bot a premium look.
3. Has an LED indicator which blinks every 3 seconds.. and goes off when the speaker is fully charged.
I used a portonics puresound previously and it died because of my heavy and rough usage.. so after a lot of youtube videos and comparisons, i decided to purchase this speaker. Here are my pros and cons after 3 days of usage
PROS:
1. The volume is really loud! Loud enough to upset your neighbours. All thanks to those dual 6W speakers and the massive 40mm driver
2. The bass is good for a speaker of this price range.. but it could have been better
3. Battery life is awesome! As mentioned in the box it gives about 12 hours of playback time.. but i get about 8-9 hours of playback with mixed usage on bluetooth.
4. Buttons are relatively good and decently tactile.. and good enough considering the price of the bot
5. It has a built in microphone which is a blessing considering many other BT speakers dont have this feature..
6. Range is pretty awesome.. about 10ft and also the bluetooth connects pretty quickly and if you have an ios device you can even view the battery percentage of the soundbot.
7. Charges relatively quickly.. i drained it completely and it took my 5.2V 1A charger about 3.5 hours to charge it to 100%.
CONS:
1. The music or media which you are playing tends to distort at high volumes. (The fix is that keep the volume at max on your phone and 2 levels down on the speaker which should make it sound better)
2. The bass is not that rich and the portronics posh has better bass and sound than this one at a lower price point.
3. The corners are sharp and can easily bend if you drop this device even once
4. Soundbot has neglegible no of service centres in india.. and the nearest i could find to my home(kerala) was mumbai!
5. The speaker does not have rubber pads or anything below.. and as a reason it tends to move around a lot when you play music with high bass at high volumes.. and my previous speaker fell from the table multiple times due to the same reason.
Anyhow.. as the cons are not that serious.. and if we take a note of the pros.. this speaker is definitely worth a buy! I would definitely recommend that you buy this product
