Previous post at higher cost marked as expired. Can still buy and for less now.

Recieved mine recently. Amazing value. Very versatile. Sounds good. Wow.

Cheap (to the point of being throwaway) this speaker / handsfree device boasts a plethora of inputs, a 600mAh BL-5C lithium battery (claimed playback of 3hrs) capable of "smart charging" and is very compact…only 10.8 x 5.5 x 3.5cm.

Great buy.

Plugged in a 64Gb USB of PC backup with a few mp3s splattered around with hundreds of folders, many thousands of files. It auto switched to USB, quickly found and started playing the mp3s. Staggering.

Plug in charging cable as an aerial and it does FM radio.

Bluetooth of music videos from phone is a far far superior sound to that of the phone.

Similar or same item around twice the price at Banggood.

Put mp3 files on a micro 8Gb SD card and pushed it in. Auto switched and started playing straight up. Amazing. With microSD it is low profile - seems to be OK with two year old - fascinated. Been playing for threes hours surely now, straight out of box and still going strong.

Killer product.

    When you turn it on and when it pairs, does it use beeps or a human voice? I've got a cheapo bluetooth speaker that has an annoying voice (with bad accent) that blares at top volume every time you use it and it just makes me hate using it.

    • BlueSkyHarvest on 16/02/2017 - 15:53
      +2

      Human voice at near full volume as you change modes or turn it on (announces the mode it is in / or will use - eg "Play by TF card" if the MicroSD card is in). Chinese woman speaking English.

      • scupper on 16/02/2017 - 15:59

        Thanks. If only these things don't use full volume, it would have been more bearable. I like playing an audiobook just before bed.

    • Tcm9669 on 17/02/2017 - 08:47

      The one I have, is a Chinese speaking woman but not at full volume… it uses the volume I set it to. So if music volume is 50% then the voice will only be at 50%

      • scupper on 17/02/2017 - 18:24

      • Jackson on 16/02/2017 - 23:31

        I bought a Bluetooth tower speaker some time ago with the same battery, and before I even charged it the battery was bulging so this isn't even that unlikely a scenario.

        On a side not pretty sure this is an old school Nokia battery that has been knocked off and repurposed for cheap chinese devices like this.

    • cnut on 16/02/2017 - 16:21
      +35

      Sick bass, crisp mid tones and clear highs is not how I'd describe this speaker.

      • rodinthink on 18/02/2017 - 16:01

        The Bantz is too damn high in this one

    • BlueSkyHarvest on 16/02/2017 - 16:35
      +2

      Clarity of sound seems fine to me. As good as, or far better than most daily music I listen to; such as car radio, direct from TV, mobile phones, malls, supermarkets. Half to two third volume fills a room with acceptable sound quality to me. Full volume fills the house (bit flat) but this is not what it should be used for. It sounds best (great in fact) on lower volumes a meter or two away.

      • alie on 16/02/2017 - 21:37

    • BlueSkyHarvest on 16/02/2017 - 16:58
      +3

      I have made ten separate orders from DD4 over a period of 18 months. Happy with them all. Quality has often been better than expected. [Unlike TMart from whom I have had some dud products or products below spec.]

      Like all Chinese web stores allow two weeks to a month for delivery. DD4 sometimes have tracking with free delivery, even for items costing a few dollars.

      DD4 website can be clunky in parts. For example their payment portal fails some days. Sometimes PayPal wont connect but payment by credit card will connect. I only use PayPal for most China web stores. If PayPal isn't connecting I try again later or the next day and it is usually fixed.

    • Leonard on 16/02/2017 - 17:05

  • MrTweek on 16/02/2017 - 17:13

    I bought these maybe 2 years ago on an unusual special from China for 5 cents.
    Worked quite nice and sound quality is not the worst.
    The "status messages" are pretty weird, as they are spoken with a thick Chinese accent ("Tha bluetooth device is a ready to pal")
    Also, the battery died after about a year.

    Still a good deal for 5 ct, although it was US cents, so more like 7 Australian.

    • PVA on 16/02/2017 - 17:48

    A few notes:
    * Don't use a plus symbol in your email address, it breaks their order form. Use a throwaway email as they don't actually validate it. If you do have a bad email, changing it and reordering doesn't fix the problem, you need to create a new account. Hah.
    * They advertise AUD prices, but if you select paypal the AUD amount is actually higher. You have to set it back to USD and use a good credit card to get it for the advertised price.

      OzBargain is funny that way. My theory is that most people don't look at "new deals" unless they hit the front page. If your older deal had enough votes to hit the front page then you'd hit your everyday OzBargainers like we see here and bam!

      OzBargain makes is especially effort-driven to see new deals and forum posts on mobile, let alone topics more than a day old on desktop. Only the dedicated will bother.

      • [Deactivated] on 17/02/2017 - 20:37

        I always head directly to /deals to ensure I see everything in chronological order, as there's a lot of bargains that might not get many votes but turn out to be really good for specific users, given we are a very diverse community.

        As for the feedback, it's nice to get a lot of positive votes, but doesn't make or break it, I suppose it can be a tough time for new users who think they are bringing a great deal only to be shot to pieces by the more experienced & cynical (myself included) members, hell I had some polesmoker try & have be banned for complaining about new users not reading the guidelines.

        It is a tough & fickle place, but we are all here for the great deals, the banter and the sense of community you get when random faceless people from across the country unite to leverage a deal, exploit a loophole or help someone with advice. I really enjoy it, used to be Whirlpool for life but this is where I fit in.

    Got it! Didn't expect it to come so quick (so how exactly do they ship it from Hillsdale, NSW?). More compact than I expected.

    Tip. When they say to press a button for long they mean loong. Until you turn up the volume you won't understand all the impressive-for-size reviews (though it might get choppy). And of course to turn the volume up you press down…maybe the factory only had triangular buttons and the guy designing the box accidentally made the left-most button a down before he sent off an order for a million.

    Just got mine. Not too bad. The sound quality is tinny, but somewhat acceptable at that price. I've seen/heard small, "burger" shaped ones that can do better quality but do cost a bit more. The chinese woman voice is very brief and not too loud, and only seems to be used for mode changes. Other status notices, such as turning on and pairing are done with beeps, so it's not annoying as another brand I had. Probably okay as gifts to parents or small kids.
