Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Bought to listen to music to while I cook. The speaker's starting noise is pleasant, and so is the female voice that says "bluetooth mode on" and "power on/off." She might be British? Australian? Not sure. It's more intelligible than the usual Chinese accent, although my various bluetooth devices with that accent have sort of become endearing. Pros - Cute pink color - Sound quality is good! I'm no audiophile, but I'm certain this will do well for parties, the pool, skiing, picnics, etc. It definitely has the volume to fill a room. I gave it a 4 because while it's good, I don't think it's anything outrageously good either. - It turns itself off after a while if you aren't playing anything! Cons - I'm as much a fan of cylinders as any other person, but...I'm kind of scared this will roll away if I place it on a grade? I don't like the idea of $50 rolling away from me?? There's a thick cord emerging from the strip of buttons that could be a feasible impediment, but I don't think it'll really stop anything. That's the biggest con. Unknowns - I'll update this as I use it for feedback on wear and tear, and to see if the pink color gets dirty. - Haven't tested whether it's actually water resistant yet, but I also don't really want to deliberately expose it to water, you know? But maybe I'll do it after I've used it for a long time. Overall, solid choice if you want to pay a little extra for peace of mind.
