SBOSENT Bluetooth Portable Speaker - Wireless Bluetooth 5.1 Speaker with USB/SD Card Slot, FM Radio, Rich Bass - Perfect for Outdoor, Travel, Home & Party Use (Blue)

Fair sound really good price point.Took awhile to charge up, came with an empty cellAn older portable speaker has been acting up, so I jumped at the chance to order this one. I didn't read all the fine print and didn't know exactly what I was getting. All I needed to know was that it was bluetooth.So, when I say I was surprised by a few things, please understand that it's my fault.I was surprised that it had a card reader. That is a bonus.I was surprised that it had an antenna...But wait, it doesn't. Not that I can find. In the instructions for FM radio, there's a section that says to extend the antenna. There isn't one, not on this model. Perhaps on another one.And, since the FM radio was the only other thing I was looking forward to, I was surprised that it didn't work. Scan didn't find more than two stations. I know there are more. And the sequence to stop scanning causes it to go back instead of stay on the station you just found. You have to be quick to stop it, else it will keep scanning. But, still, only the two stations and not quality at that.The unit charges via usb cable. The lights are easily turned on and off.I personally don't like the round design, but to each his/her own. I had thought it might roll, but it stays put.It does accept headphones and I also tested it with our bluetooth amplifier. They work well.It has the cords needed to charge and connect it directly (wired) to an input device.I haven't had any trouble with this unit. If that changes, I'll come back to update this review.This is a very convenient speaker, with amazing sound loud & sharp. To fully charge the speaker can take up to 3hrs, it has the FM function to listen to the radio, has the changing led light, and play time roughly 6hrs. Highly recommendFirst off, don’t buy a $25 Bluetooth speaker and expect it to have booming bass that rattles windows. Second, don’t expect it to compare side by side with a $200 Bose version.For what it is, this is an excellent speaker to have outside while chilling with friends, use in a vehicle without a stereo (I am a mail courier and those white trucks are trash…), or take on a boating or camping trip where water could be an issue.The sound quality is decent, the bass is not exceptional but it is better than speakers you would find at local mega marts in the same price range.Added advantage? If this was lost I wouldn’t be NEARLY as heartbroken as if a $200 Bose speaker was lost.It looks like a JBL, but it sounds like a trash can with bluetooth capabilities. It's tinny, it's all mids, and the volume is so low that it's upsetting. The bluetooth signal is relatively weak, and I can only get about 20 feet away from it before it starts freaking out and losing contact with my phone. The battery life is okay, but I only got about 5 hours between the middle and maximum volume. I don't know how the waterproof capabilities are of the device, as I don't really want to test it the hard way. But it got tempting to toss it in my bathtub for a fun time, since it sounds like garbage already. The SD reader works fine. The auxiliary jack works fine. The colour is nice, but that and the RGB lights are about all it has going for it. It's a sad little machine.This is a cool speaker. Easy to connect, to your phone or tablet. Very loud sound! Great deal for the price!The speaker appears to be built well and didn't show any quality issues out of the box. It comes with a USB-A to USB-C charging cable as well as a 3.5mm aux cable. The speaker features LED lights that light up to the music that's being played. Along with Bluetooth connectivity, the speaker can also be connected via the included aux cable and also has a Micro SD card slot and a USB port. With all these features it's disappointing that the sound quality is below average. It's loud enough for a small room but there is no real bass and it sounds muddied.OK folks, get off your wallet this is a premium product at a discount price, amazing portable rechargeable Bluetooth speaker for less than $50 and worth every penny, I had it hooked to my phone via Bluetooth at 25% volume and it was loud enough to be heard 2 houses away, at full volume somebody would have called the cops I am sure but the really amazing part is the whole frequency range comes through crystal clear, no distortion at all :) All I need to let this baby go full volume is an empty beach since any place inside city limits would get me in trouble, this speaker is truly amazing. When you consider VALUE + PERFORMANCE + QUALITY + EASE OF USE this is worth more than 5 Stars
