What customers say about "Key Specs"
Denon DSB-50BT Portable Premium Bluetooth Speaker
  • This speaker is awesome, warm sound, powerful, mids and trebles incredible, brilliant sound stage.
  • Great sound! Crisp treble, powerful bass!
  • I was very disappointed in this speaker. The sound quality was mediocre.
JBL Flip 4 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker
  • The battery life is amazing and I believe it does indeed last for the time stated here, if not longer.
  • It is robust, has a great sound, and the battery life is pretty good too.
  • The battery life is good, I've only once used it from full charge to empty and it almost lasted the 12 hours stated.
  • Battery life 12-15 hours. We have it sailing but haven’t had to test its water resistance yet! Sound is excellent and I can walk round the house and down both ends of the garden without losing it
  • The battery life is shockingly bad. A full charge lasts about two hours when streaming music from my phone...

What customers say about "Interfaces"
Denon DSB-50BT Portable Premium Bluetooth Speaker
  • The speaker works fine through the AUX port.
  • Excellent and convenient ports layout.
  • I like that the speaker can be used both through AUX and using bluetooth.
  • The charging cable provided is only about a foot long.
  • The lack of a USB port for charging the phone is disappointing.
JBL Flip 4 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker
  • The charging cycle doesn’t last long and the speaker comes with a nice USB cable for charging.
  • A big plus is that it doesn't have the additional weight/headache of batteries as it's usb chargeable!
  • Connection via USB works without problems, the battery saves a charge for a long time.
  • I wish the charger came with a plug in for a wall and not just the USB cable.
  • The micro usb connector is just too weak or doesn't give enough support and ends up breaking on the unit.
