Far Exceeded Expectations
on April 17, 2016

I bought this speaker on a whim due to the fact that it was on sale for 20 bucks and it actually felt good in my hands. Some say this device is heavy but I like the fact that this bad boy has some beef behind it.
The speaker synced to my smartphone in seconds, and while there was some lag in the sound at first? I owe that to the fact that my current phone is a piece of junk. The more I listened to the speaker itself, the more impressed I was with how loud it really is and how good it sounded. It seems comparable to Bluetooth speakers that cost up to 5 times as much. Color me impressed.
There is definitely a Fair amount of bass packed into this device, it definitely shook on a wooden surface. I was genuinely impressed, you would not expect something this cheap to sound this good or have the high build quality it has.
Seriously this thing is beautiful to look at too, aesthetically simple and elegant, its design appeals to those who don't need something that has a garrish and colorful design. It can fit in any environment for the most part.
All in all I am highly satisfied, this device Exceeded my expectations by a large margin. I definitely recommend checking it out.

Excellent movie with a powerful message.

Only thing I have to say is that "V" for Vendetta is an excellent film. One with a message so powerful that it has to be seen to be believed. I won't get into semantics or any of that, but will say that the film was well acted by the two main stars, Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman. The Blu-Ray really adds some punch to it, with stunning picture quality and crystal clear audio. Simply put, if you're a Blu-Ray junkie, you owe it to yourself to add this to your collection.

What's great about it: The message, the battle sequences, and the picture quality.

A Timeless Classic
on August 24, 2013
Posted by: IcedEarthaholic

When I was younger, my brother became obsessed with Braveheart, even bought the soundtrack at one point in time, do not know if he still has it or not. He also had the VHS tape and DVD as well. When I saw the Blu-Ray sitting in front of me, I knew I had to get this movie due to all the memories I had attached to it.
Now i won't get into the overall plotline of the movie itself, because that would end up taking me a long time, and even so, I won't argue that there are some historical inaccuracies and liberties taken with the account of the life of William Wallace. Those do not take away from the scope and beauty of the film itself though.
The story is poignant and makes you feel just about every human emotion in the books. It is truly an emotional tour de force that brings it all out of you, you'll laugh, cry, get angry, have a happy feeling through it all and by the time the film comes to an end, you'll be a hot mess.
The Blu-Ray version adds even more to that impact, the picture quality is just amazing, clear as crystal and really accentuates the beauty of the Scottish landscape. Everything is just amped up 1000 times over other versions of the film, colours pop, details are clearly shown that I recall were blurry before and the battle scenes are truly gruesome to say the least.
The sound has so much more punch as well. Every sword clash, every battle cry, every spoken word of dialogue comes through without any static or problems at all. It is truly lossless audio to say the least, and brings home how talented these actors and actresses truly are.
All in all, I wouldn't recommend showing this film to your kids though. It is one that if you ask me, is better experienced with teens or adults. But either way, get out the popcorn, soda and pizza for this. Braveheart is a classic, and this Blu-Ray transfer makes it even more so.

Can i charge this using a wall socket or is it only compatible using a pc or laptop?
You can use a wall socket, I do so all the time, so you can rest assured that if you have a spare USB compatible wall charger laying around, you can charge this speaker just fine.

It has a standard Micro USB port so there is no proprietary AC adapter, you can use any USB plug to charge this speaker. Hope this helps.
