bought one couple month ago, use for construction, factory background. few things:
con
1, Battery life isn't great, at 75% volume, it lasts around 4 hours. so full blast, which one a job site, it is just loud enough for personal usage, may only last you 3 hours.
2, there is no way to tell battery life until its like 20%, especially when you turn it on, it doesn't report you the battery level like my Sony's does.
3, charging speed isnt great either, no fast charge on this one what so ever, (i am not too sure about this so do correct me if anyone know better).
pro
1, build like a tank, buttons are easy accessible and not too easy to trigger.
2, rubberized feet, and unit itself as a whole also makes it handy to position itself anywhere.
3, water proof, fully.
4, sound is great, bass is decent, definitely top class in its size. you can put it in the back of your car and almost have a decent speaker feeling. i am sure doing stereo pairing would be awesome (i do that all the time with 2 of my sonys)
TLDR, shit battery for heavy user, amazing sound and build.
And ofc, i modded mine. factory only has 700mah battery in it, i replaced it with a 2000mah battery, it will 100% ruin the warranty if anyone is interested. now it easily last full day 8 hours job on max volume on a job site. If you using it in door, normal house party, you absolution do not need 100% volume, in a normal living room, 75% is loud enough, you can easily get away with 50% volume, if everyone is like chilling on the beach within 5 meters kinda scenario.
