Ok guys this deal is back, only this time it's $2 cheaper and the White Color version.
10:35pm update: Amazon cart error has been corrected. It was available for a brief period at $40, then it showed $40 but changed to $139.13 when placed in-cart. Now it shows $139.13. <<<<<——- Thanks mods for adding this. Amazon are quick on their toes to adjust prices.
It's still over $39 spend so shipping is free even for non Prime subscribers.
I added an extra + point and an extra - point to my opinion. They are the last points of both lists.
I recommend giving it a full charge before trying to turn it on, as per instructions.
I think the next cheapest price is $109 + shipping. So this is roughly 60% off.
My opinion: It sounds like a bluetooth speaker. Ok for casual listening. It does not sound smaller or bigger than it looks, at about 20cm tall is sounds about right for it's size. User manual says 7-9 hours battery-life, pretty normal for a Bluetooth speaker. 2 years warranty.
Good points: + It is a standing design like UE Boom so it takes less space and throws sound 180 + 180 degrees, + Handsome design, + Battery level indicator (works when off too), + USB charger included, + Aux port? if anyone still uses those. + Holds charge well when it's off which is an underrated feature, I have another BT speaker which needs to be charged every 7 days even when it's off because it loses charge so quickly.
Bad points: - Touch controls on top are a little funny, tapping does nothing you kind of need to hold it to trigger. - The packaging is a tube, which is tough to twist open because of the vacuum, then when it pops off the speaker sits only halfway in the bottom so it almost fell out (Be careful). - There is a limiter on this speaker, if you EQ it to be too bassy the limiter will kick in quickly and reduce the volume of the speaker in short bursts, it sounds like someone is turning the volume up and down quickly (this is to protect the battery health, but also will be annoying for some users).
From what I can hear there are 2 speakers one left and one right side, then a passive bass thing in the middle facing forward.
Says 20w didn't sound like that out of the box, after using the PEQ on free Onkyo Player App it now sounds like 20w but max volume is reduced.
Got one. Thanks!!
