Died in less than 90 days! UPDATE with more info.
I am not rich and $80 is a pretty big investment for me to make in a speaker. I reviewed, reviewed and reviewed all these speakers for two weeks before being convinced this was "the best." And, for the first 60 or so days it was. But, out of nowhere, it has now just started turning off while playing music. Full charge, half charge, doesn't matter. It just turns itself off.
Do you know how annoying it is to be listening to music and have to go up to the speaker every 10 or so minutes and turn it back on? I mean, come on, that's ridiculous, no? Read ALL the critical reviews on Amazon about this item. You will notice a trend about this sort of thing.
The absolute BEST Bluetooth speaker I ever owned was the Soundfreaq SFQ-04 Sound Kick. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of letting my ex-wife have that, thinking I'd win by getting a brand new one. Wrong again. Also, the Soundreaq one was purchased about 6 to 7 years ago and guess what? Not only does it still work like a champ, but it has NEVER had any issues and sounds better than this one.
If you are flush and have $80 to spend for 3 months of listening, by all means by this. If not, stay away or better yet, get a Soundreaq.
UPDATE: Just realized the main reason I'm sure many of you want to buy this is due to it being waterproof. Just found out Soundfreaq made a follow-up to the model I had, the Sound Kick 2 and it is water resistant! You can find this on Amazon or even lower priced on eBay. Please, for me, buy this one instead.
