> 3 dayThis speak is small but powerful. If you’re looking for a great compact speaker this is definitely the way to go. The sound quality is awesome and if you have two you can pair them together

> 3 dayVery impressed with the sound/size ratio for this speaker. In fact I dithered between 4 and 5 stars, but the sound for the size is so good I went with five in spite of some minor issues (no audio in and determining battery level is not simple) I actually dropped it accidently from counter height to a tile floor and it was fine . The giant plus and vertical line are the volume control buttons. The waterproof claim does NOT mean you can actually float it around in your pool (you can have it immersed one meter (about 3 feet) underwater for 30 minutes) but it does float. Make sure you close the little rubber door that has the USB charger input before getting it wet. I would not use this in a shower directly, it has a pattern to the surface that collects soap scum. I was able to scrub this off, but it is a bit annoying. Tap the UE button once to play or hit pause. Press again to resume the track. Tap it twice to skip to the next song. Long press it to sync with another nearby Wonderboom speaker.. Press again to resume the track. Pairing was simple, paired with a Chromebook and an android phone with no trouble. For the Chromebook it would stay connected about 40 feet (through walls), with the phone it was about 30 feet. Line of sight worked for at least 60 feet. A total of three trials, playing at full volume (to test it) the battery lasted 6 hours, 5.5 hours and a little over 6 hours. I am sure it would last longer at a lower volume. You can push both volume buttons at the same time and it gives you an audio tone to tell you it is it “high” charge which is a series of notes of increasing pitch, “medium” charge which is a couple of tones, and “low” which is a series of decreasing pitch notes. You cannot tell the battery level visually. The directions said 2.8 hours, so I left it 3 hours it was still giving me the “medium tone After five hours I got the “high” charge. I am not a fan of this sort of battery indicator. You cannot tell the battery level visually. The directions said 2.8 hours, so I left it for 3 and it seemed fully charged but again, there is no visual indicator. After 2.8 hours it was still giving me the “medium” tone. After five hours I got the “high” charge. I am not a fan of this sort of battery indicator. I also would really like an audio jack, I have a couple other Bluetooth speakers and both have this option. It uses less power from the device being used to play it, and I can also use them with my Sansa Clip that does not have Bluetooth.

Greater than one weekGreat little speaker! First saw it in a phone store and it was amazing. At Walmart these are a 100 bucks! I got it as a gift for my gf and she loves it. Her friends are surprised by it too.

> 3 dayStruggle constantly to get the piece plugged into the speaker to secure tightly, and charge it. CLue, light will blink if its finally attached. They need to do something about this.

> 3 dayTrue surround sound. This isnt the latest version in the market but I think is suffice for most home/outdoor environments that want clear music. Good battery life too and funky color selection

> 3 dayI had previously owned one of these and it quit working because of a dead battery approximately 18 months after purchase. I then bought another brand that I used for 6 months dead battery, but I was not happy with the sound quality anyway I quickly ordered a Wonderboom again it has very good sound from such a small speaker, now if they would just trust us enough to sell replacement batteries, I will always have a wonderboom. ( I use mine at least 5 days a week 4-8 hours a day. I read where you can now sync 2 of them for more rockin (in my case .
