Consumer review (newegg.com)

ONLY WORKED FOR 2+ MONTHS

Am particularly disappointed with the failure of manufacturer's customer service to respond to complaint/defective product.

Worked and sounded great for just over 2 months

Wouldn't hold a charge or operate for more than 45 minutes before dying. Contacted manufacturer by phone and email over 2 weeks ago (and again today). No responses

Great little speaker

Great size and battery lasts a long time. Good sound

The beep squelch when it connects is kinda annoying but not worth taking a star off

Pretty Decent

Caught this on sale for $19. Been wanting to buy one of these for over a year but could never part with the money. It connects to my device in a few seconds. No delay in streaming audio (was within 10ft.). Includes a micro USB cable to charge (it's...

Overall general good design of unit (look, placement of buttons, nice sticky rubber feet, etc.). The price. It works

Does not handle bassey music past 50% speaker level (but that's expected with it's small size and price point)

The audio delay could be the bluetooth hardware in my laptop,not sure if said hardware is over bluetooth 2.0. If not for the a/v delay with movies,the music at top volume,and the loud screeching beep i would have given it a solid five. Overall the...

Nice little box

I really like this little speaker. Plenty loud for my use. I connect via bluetooth to my Blackberry Playbook. No issues. Beeps when it is turned on and beeps again when bluetooth connects. Some think this is a con but I don't mind. It lets me know...

Continuing flashing bluetooth LED. But I don't sit and stare at that anyways. :)

Soundbrick FTW

4 stars. It's a great little box. Easy setup and sounds real nice. Can be used as a Bluetooth adapter. Loooooooong battery life. Very portable. Great price.

Very easy to connect. Best feature for me is the fact that it has a 3.5mm output jack which allows you to use this little soundbrick as a Bluetooth adapter for anything that has an audio input. This is now hooked up to my Bose sound system and I can...

I took 1 star off because of 2 issues I don't really like ; First I wish it would have an auto shut-off if not in use fora certain time limit. It just stays on all day with a very bright blue blinking light waiting for a Bluetooth device ; Second is...

Solid, well built box

Honestly I'm amazed it's battery life. For 30$ I'm really pleased with the quality of this soundbrick

Looks good, well built, solid mini sound box, paid $30 for it, couldn't get any better sound for this price, battery last insanely long time, over 8 horas

The only thing I noticed is that each time that my phone goes out of range for a while and come back within it I have to set the phone up again for bluetooth (to listen music and not for speeker phone function)

Fun Stuff

I bought this originally for the car. After I started using it, this product became a functional daily use from the car, to the pool, to working around the house to plugging into my projector so I can watch movies outside.

Clarity is great! For the size portability I would recommend for a jobsite to just relaxing in the pool. Great for travel in the car too. Bluetooth is responsive with very little breakup in the music when you get further away. Shuts down music when a...

I need and MP3 player with 80 hours battery life
