I bought two of these to use the wireless stereo feature. I use them in the shower playing the radio and content from my phone over Bluetooth.
First, the quality and performance are excellent for the price, earning 5 stars. (Sharper Image sells a very similar model for $99 a pair.)
Sound quality is very good, for a small speaker. It is strongest in the lower part of midrange. Highs and lows are not strong. This is good for most everyday listening. I have not tried it as a party speaker or in a large room. The lack of highs means it doesn't cut through shower noise well. In spite of weaknesses, this is a great speaker for the price.
Build quality is very good, with high-quality materials and controls. Suction cup attachment works great on tile. Red LED display is easily readable (especially compared to another shower speaker I have with an LCD display that is hard to read without really good light).
Stereo pairing worked like a charm on the first try. I followed the directions to pair one to my phone, then the two to each other. True stereo sound. When using in stereo mode, a volume adjustment to either speaker also affects the other speaker, and turning one off automatically turns the other one off. (Stereo pairing works only for Bluetooth; you will not get FM radio in stereo even if both speakers are on.)
Radio reception is very good. It comes with a small FM antenna that plugs into a 3.5mm port (you cannot use the antenna if the speaker is going to be immersed). The automatic scanning is too sensitive--it sets frequencies with poor signals that it should have been skipped. Like other similar units, it scans the FM band and creates presets automatically. But you cannot go directly to a preset--you have to push the button repeatedly until you reach your station. This is a pain if you want to go from 88.5 to 103.5 and have to push the button 26 times.
I only use these for about 5-15 minutes at a time, but I use them almost every day and so far I've gone 6 weeks on the original charge.
The LED colored light is a frivolous feature that works, but I would be happy to give up for a price drop. They can be set for three modes: automatically cycling through all the colors, pulsing based on the music, or set one color. However, every time you power them up, they always start in cycling mode. It would be nice if it stayed on the last setting.
The buttons are embossed with the icons. If you do not have good close-up vision, you will not be able to see these icons. It would be an improvement to color them black for contrast.

#MildlyGeekyDad - Portable, Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

Exactly as listed!
This is exactly what it says it is. It works so well, is compact, and so far I've enjoyed it very much. I use it in the shower, and I love it a lot.The radio antenna is removable. The radio itself comes with a suction cup: which you can unscrew and leave in the wall. So you can use the speaker elsewhere, but not have to re put the suction cup down each time. Very well thought out!It's exactly what I needed. Waterproof Bluetooth speaker. And that's what it is! Great sound, string suction cup, compact, waterproof, and a removable radio antenna.The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the main clock, the one that displays during Bluetooth connection, is in military time. I tried changing it, but it got all messed up again. If you change over to FM radio mode, then it displays normally. Just odd, and the instructions don't mention it...

If I’m being honest, this was a complete impulse buy. It came up on my Amazon feed and I was slightly interested at the time. Fast forward to a camping trip where we spent a lot of time outside of our camper and it was clear that this speaker would have been useful. I totally ordered it at that point. What sold me was the suction cup and the water resistance, which is what you need when sitting outside of your camp trailer.
I received the speaker about a week ago and have been using it quite a bit around the house (haven’t gotten it into the wild yet). What I can tell you is this thing sounds great. Decent highs and mids, and you can kind of feel the bass. Pretty impressive given the size. Speaking of size, It’s much smaller than I thought. It’s about a third of the height of a soda can and about 30% larger in diameter than said can. Connecting to bluetooth was pretty straight forward, but setting the time and finding radio stations took a bit. Here’s what I did.
-Setting time: Hold the play/pause button until the time blinks. Volume up will then change the hours. Play/Pause again will change to minutes then volume up to change the minutes. Play/Pause to finish.
-Scanning for radio stations: Use “M” button to get to FM. Hold the volume up button until device starts scanning for stations.
Once you get through the setup, the device is easy to use. One thing to note, is it only has military time (at least that I could figure out). That’s not an issue for me, but could be for somebody else. I did “test” the waterproofness (is that a word?), and it seemed to work fine. I put a clip of my test in the included video.
Pros:
-Small size
-Strong suction cup (removable)
-Water resistant
-Excellent sound
-FM stations
-Water resistant
Cons:
-Didn’t get good FM reception in my basement (upstairs/outside fine)
-Setup takes a bit
Overall, this speaker is good quality and I’m satisfied with my purchase (thanks Amazon). I can’t wait to show this off on my next camping trip.
