Second one, as I gave my old one to a friend.
It’s very disappointing. When it finally connects the sound is excellent.
The battery was dead as a proverbial doornail out of the box so had to plug it in right off the bat. Fortunately, it can be used while charging so that didn't slow me down.
I listen primarily to classical music and the first thing I did was put on the Bach Double Violin concerto. I was really surprised that you could actually hear the separation of the violins. You wouldn't think you would have a separation of sound stage on something smaller than your hand.
Next I put on a piano concerto. The lower registers of the piano had a nice "growl" like you would expect out of a real piano. The upper registers were clear without being harsh and the mids were there as well -- so a nice even sound.
Unlike most bluetooth speakers that are optimized to throw out a lot of base, this speaker opts for clarity and detail instead... I guess they are catering to those of us not into muddy bass at the expense of musicality and detail.
This will also get plenty loud but if you are relying on a tiny little speaker to play loud -- you are probably not using this speaker for its optimal purpose.
What is the optimal purpose? Working in an office, cooking dinner, washing dishes, playing cribbage, reading, getting ready for work in the morning.
If you want vibrating bass -- go look at the UE or Beats lines -- both of those speakers do emphasize bass over all else. However, if you want clarity in a small compact package and sophisticated look, this is a neat little speaker.

Original review: It's quite elegant. Has good sound quality, but was way much smaller than I expected. Overall, it's reliable and decent. Quite good value for money.
