Great for the money
on December 2, 2015
Posted by: DaveJ
This Insignia bluetooth speaker is fantastic for the money. I got it on sale for under $30. According to Best Buys website, the details says it only has 1 speaker. It is in fact a stereo speaker, thus I can confirm it has 2 drivers for mids/highs and 2 passive radiators for bass.
The sound quality is excellent (again, for the money - don't expect Bose sound) for what is is. It has good mids/highs and has decent bass. The bass isn't as accurate or refined as in most higher end systems, but it is there and sounds good.
Although it doesn't have a mic for answering phone calls, it can be used as a speaker for calls. Instead, it contains a large internal battery for charging other devices via a USB jack in the back. It also has a mini USB for charging the speaker itself, and a mini-aux input for other devices that lack bluetooth. The bluetooth version listed in the manual is version 4.0, but it does not contain NFC. Under normal use, I had no issues with reception up to 30 feet away. Beyond 40 ft, I got connection hiccups. Because of the large internal battery, it weighs more than a typical speaker of its size. I did get about 18 hours of listening time before the battery died.
It is water resistant, but not waterproof, so avoid getting wet if possible. Most of the speaker is surrounded by a rubber/plastic casing surrounding the buttons and inputs/outputs.
If you're looking for a great bluetooth speaker bargain, you won't find better than this.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Stereo ?

How can it be stereo, if there is only one speaker? Even if the speaker had a dual voice coil it's still mono.
It has 2 speakers for mids/highs, and 2 passive radiators for bass.
It is stereo.

How do i connect this speaker to my Macbook Pro

i can't seem to connect the device to my mac book pro I've read through the manual and made sure the bluetooth is on on both the speaker and the computer and both are discoverable but my computer just can't seem to discover the speaker to connect to it. it connects to my i phone just fine.
Either bluetooth, or mini-aux jack, located in the back of the unit.
