Let me start by saying this little speaker punches WAY above its weight class. I've used it everywhere - from backyard BBQs to shower karaoke sessions - and it consistently delivers shockingly good sound for its size.

The bass is the real star here. Those dual 8W drivers and bass radiators create a rich, distortion-free low end that makes my JBL-loving friends do double takes. I played Billie Eilish's 'Bad Guy' at max volume (sorry neighbors) and the windows literally rattled - no joke.

Battery life? Insane. I took it on a weekend camping trip and it lasted through two full days of near-constant playback before giving me the polite 'Battery is Low' warning (love that feature). The IPX7 waterproofing got seriously tested when my nephew 'accidentally' knocked it into the pool - still works perfectly.

Few quirks though: The charging cable is comically short (bring your own), and the strap feels like an afterthought. Also, while Bluetooth range is great outdoors, it struggles through multiple walls indoors.

For under $30? Absolute steal. It's replaced my old Bose SoundLink as my go-to travel speaker. Just don't make my mistake of leaving it on dark furniture - I've sat on mine at least three times (still works fine!).
