What customers say about "Interfaces"
Harman/Kardon Onyx Mini Portable Wireless Speaker
  • It use micro USB to charge, so as long as I have a phone charger, I have music power.
  • It uses a standard micro USB connector. Perfect.
  • Excellent sound from this small speaker. Has good and durable USB connectivity for charging.
  • Speaker has worthless USB jack for charging.
  • The mini USB charger does not work now.
JBL Charge 3 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker
  • The usb allows you to utilise the speaker as a 'fast charging' power bank, which provided my Moto G4 with 3 charges before it was drained completely.
  • Versatile in that it's Bluetooth , can be linked to other speakers, has aux plug for non Bluetooth players and you can use it to charge Other stuff with USB cable.
  • The sound quality is excellent also is ease of use. Connect your device by Bluetooth or hard wire by a 3.5mm audio cable and off you go.
  • The only downside to me is the fact that it uses a micro usb cable, I mean there are still many products that use this but as time goes by I feel that we are heading more towards usb c.
  • Would prefer a better battery life and it should use USB-C to charge now as I would be able to charge it from my phone cable.
