Good sound quality, connects easy enough, especially via NFC. The accompanying Apps can be problematic. Also the volume apparently cannot be adjusted from the device while playing from sources. Often I desire there to be an "offset" in the level of my device volume versus the output level of an external speaker.

No volume, cannot be heard well in any kind of an environment that has any background noise and even in a quiet room the volume is lacking. Pretty much worthless to most.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, cannot hear it., no volume even at highest setting.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Disappointed in sound quality (without aptX)
on January 28, 2016
Posted by: JustaReviewer
from MI
Expertise:Intermediate
The speakers sound muffled and hollow, like it's in a cardboard box. My 6-year old laptop speakers have clearer, crispier sound. The speakers do get quite loud, surprisingly so given its diminutive dimensions, and the bass is decent, over-boosted even. Battery life is good, seems like it lasts forever. Range of the device is on par with other bluetooth devices like wireless headphones.
Side note: pairing using NFC doesn't seem to work on iPhone 6s. The regular old way of pairing works just fine.
* Without aptX. Tested using iPhone 6s and my older HP laptop, neither of which support aptX. However aptX shouldn't change the sound quality that significantly. My car speakers connected via bluetooth to my phone, for example, sound just fine. So it seems the fault lies in the speaker design. Perhaps the engineers focused too much on amplifying the sound. This is all with default settings. I believe you can only change equalizer settings of the speakers via an app on Samsung devices. It may be possible to improve the sound of the speakers through custom equalizer settings.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight, design, ease of use, battery life, portability
Cons: Did not meet expectations, poor sound quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very portable speaker

Great speaker for home/office use. Very portable, fits inside cargo pocket of pants. Some say it's not very loud but I disagree, especially if you use the Level app. I bought two one for myself (Galaxy S6) or fit my wife (iPhone 6S) works great with both devices. Better functions available with GS6 phone.
