  • Sound quality good enough too, extra bass working perfect. Has amazing connectors.
  • Paired easily with these and other devices. It is also easy to connect via AUX.
  • I like how the ports are laid out. They are easy to get to.
  • Unfortunately the power plug is old style USB, and the speaker stopped charging after 4 weeks.
  • There is only a USB cable connection for which you require a laptop which I do not have, couldn't connect through phone charger as one unit so unable to connect USB from speaker.
