I’d wondered if this tiny speaker would be a good idea, whether it would produce a sound loud enough and with depth – wow. Very good. I now take it with me to listen to music and my audible books.
Yes they are a little tinny, but they are also smaller than a golf ball. I have two, they can be paired together for stereo. Perfect for throwing in a bag for a trip to listen to some music. Looking to get them as stocking fillers for my kids.
I bought thins because of a deal, because honestly, I can’t really be sure when I would use this, but it’s so cute and I’ve been tempted for so long that when it came on a very cheap deal, I succumbed.
Well the sound is really surprising for the size and genuinely impressive.
I can imagine it would be fun in the park or at a friend’a house or even in the bathroom, but as I generally use headphones out and about or have smart devices in every room, (except the bathroom – tho i do have a shower speaker) as I say, it is a bit of a surplus toy for me. I won’t be able to comment on the battery life, but I was happy to see that I could pop it onto a wireless charger to juice it up.
I didn’t try the camera remote shutter but i actually think that is a feature I might use at some point.
Loud and clear sound. Lovely a tiny. Only problem is when I paired to another speaker (I bought two) the sound isn’t so good on one of them but works ok on its ow
It does more than adverted. In the sense that I get an hour longer play time.
For it’s size it packs a big punch. I love it so much I have purchased a total of five.
Great speaker with bt connectivity,you can add more of them to create a chain. You can do all the usual things that a good speaker can do like playing music or taking phone calls. It also has a card slot to play music but the most important thing is its size, you could just slip it into any pocket and it’s still got the quality of speakers much bigger than itself.
Not an audiophiles dream.
Compared to other mini wireless speakers I have tried such as Soundcore or JBL the sound is very tinny.
Still, the real reason for buying them is their size and portability.
When I read the reviews it made me think it was going to be really loud. It is loud, but not as loud as I was expecting. Also, the quality does suffer at the top volume
I’m running Linux on an iMac, and there are no drivers for the internal sound. So I am using this over bluetooth instead.
The only downside I’ve found is that I can’t get the internal mic to work. It is recognised in the device tree, and is available though the GUI, but when attempting a video call the other party could not hear me. I checked inside Skype, and the VU meter doesn’t move either.
This isn’t a showstopper for me as I have other computers to call from, but it’s a point to note for others. I suspect that it would work perfectly in MacOS/Windows but I’ve not tested to confirm.
You can hear it well even under the shower or when doing the dishes. It warns you when the battery is getting low and it will switch off in 10mins max. Unfortunately the battery is running out very quickly. Probably around 3h. Good value for the price as long as you don’t mind recharge it often.
Such small little boy with loud sound. Works and connects well with all devices (phones n TVs). The only problem was couldn’t adjust sound when it was connected to my Samsung TV, like from the control couldn’t reduce or increase the volume but it with phone its good.
Pairs easily, great battery life and easy to charge.
Just have to be realistic about what sound you expect from something so small.
Not brilliant at producing any kind of bass but surprisingly loud for its size.
If you want a speaker that’s extremely small ans provides a decent level of loudness then this is for you.
Would probably say it’s slightly overpriced for what it is but still good for what it is.
