No tiene buen sonido. Bajos muy pobres. Suenan más los agudos. Nada expectacular. La verdad muy arrepentido de mi compra

What a nice little "boom box". Having a low price point, I didn't expect much. Sound is better than I expected out of such a small unit.

The best speaker ever small size amazing sound , you can carry it in your hand bike ride . Amazing for a price. I really recommend it have it for 6month battery life great.

First off, to clarify controls the Manual makes confusing:- The Play button is Play/Pause, Call Answer/End and Redial(double press), and a long press activates Bluetooth pairing mode.- Volume Up is long press Next Track- Volume Down is long press Previous Track- Infinity looking button is solely for pairing two speakers together into stereo mode- Power button is only for long press powerPros:- This is a powerful speaker with strong base that can easily fill a room, let alone be heard in a shower.- The design is compact and easy to carry around, with nice fabric covers over the speakers. A distinctive diaphragm is on top which enhances the base and is a nice visual touch.- A 3.5mm Aux port and USB-C charging port are under a thick sealed flap on the back under the power button, making it convenient to charge with your existing cables and power supplies. (I especially appreciate the USB-C since a lot of accessories still go with Micro-B and I just want to move on from that standard at this point)Cons:- The base is powerful, possibly overwhelming at times, depending on the media. If your playback device/app has an equalizer, I suggest possibly decreasing the base output a bit if you can.- There is a complete lack of any kind of smart assistant support. There is no way to trigger Siri or Google Assistant from the speaker, and even if you do trigger it from your phone the mic on the speaker won't respond, forcing you to speak to your phone. For a device that you'd think would heavily benefit from the modern hands-free features of smart phones, especially in the shower, this is an odd oversight.- After fiddling I was able to get this to pair to my Google Home Mini, but only as an audio output; again I couldn't trigger Google Assistant from the speaker. At least though, the Play/Pause/Track Skipping buttons worked with the Home Mini. Volume is not synced with the Home Mini though, so the volume buttons on the speaker control the speaker itself, not the volume output of the Home Mini, which can lead to fiddling with the volume on both if the audio is too quiet/loud.Overall:Very nice hardware let down by a lack of assistant support. I'll probably keep it as it's still a good speaker for a decent price that I can find use for, but I'll still be shopping around for something that can support Google Assistant.
