Bassboomz High Performance Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Purple

While you won't get audiophile sound out of a speaker so tiny, this thing actually sounds very good for it's size and perfect for putting in your bag without taking up much room or weight.

Lots of static at times. Sound is good for its size. NOT the best. At $19 is a fairly good buy. At retail price it is a VERY poor buy!

Love the color!

This BassBoomz speaker is VERY disappointing. I bought 2 different colors for $60 total (a good price considering how much they normally cost) for convenience, to use with my Sansa Clip mp3 player or a personal cd player for when I’m working in the garage or basement; since a full charge supposedly lasts up to 4 hours, I’d have a second speaker ready to go. Unfortunately, it takes so much power to drive them that I can barely hear them from 10 feet away w/the Sansa volume ON FULL (compared to about ¼ volume if I’m using headphones or earbuds); if I use the cd player, I can get the volume of the speaker higher but it distorts pretty badly. I tried w/a small kitchen tv, & sound is ok if you are sitting w/in a few feet of the tv. Save your money & pick up an Altec Lansing iM227 Orbit MP3 Speaker (available @ Amazon) for MUCH less... the sound is about the same, & it runs for about 25-30 hours on 3 AAA batteries... I've been using mine for going on 3 years w/our kitchen tv with no problems.

Speaker purchased in green color via a Groupon deal in Feb. 2014. It's constantly been in use for about a year.Whether BassBuds has a great product or not, I really dislike it when a company defends an obviously faulty product and provides minimal consumer recourse. Note that the seller is technically not BassBuds, but Groupon. First, here is my experience with BassBoomz speakers:- Excellent sound, but this initial version of the speaker could have used a higher volume at 100% range. This issue was addressed with mixed results in the latest version of the speaker (i.e. resulting in high distortion at 100%... my sister bought the 2.0 version). The bass sound is the best of all the pocket Bluetooth speakers ($30-$40) that I have tried so far (Matrix One, Muse Mini and etc.). There was little distortion at 100% for the initial version.- The primary use for my speaker was outside, via laptop or smartphone. Unfortunately, laying the speaker on its side resulted in the lovely metallic finish being scratched off. It didn't take much movement either.- The Bluetooth worked very well via any device.Yet there were 2 problems that brought my rating down from 4 stars to 3 stars. At 100% volume (which was often necessary outdoors), the speaker only lasted 1 hour. From 70% to 100% volume, the speaker would move (note - the same problem exists with the 2.0 version). The speaker would vibrate its way across any flat surface on its own, despite the tiny rubber grips at the bottom. It didn't matter if I was playing classical or dance music. I got into the habit of bringing along a small towel to put under the speaker. Until one day, I forgot to do so. The speaker fell off a surface and onto a floor, resulting in the wire mesh top popping off. It wasn't possible for me to get it back on. The sound was affected and I contacted BassBoomz.After several e-mails, my postal mailed letter to London from the U.S. "for escalation" that they never received after 3 months and more e-mails later, the bottom line was that they didn't view the issue as a manufacturing defect. The bottom pads were not "suction pads" and the pads weren't missing from the speaker. Thus, no replacement speaker for me.They said, "... we cannot be held responsible for the item moving due to the power of your music."Wait... isn't your product called "Bassboomz"? Yet straight from the BassBuds' website, "With its durable, solid aluminium construction, vibration dampening and high grip base there is minimum interference when used on hard surfaces."Hmmm... seems like the height of hypocrisy to me. I'm not going lower than 2 stars on my rating, since I did generally enjoy the speaker and it still mostly works. Yet it looks like the search continues for an affordable, portable speaker that does what I expect it to do! It's a shame though.

Love this little gadget. a friend brought one along on a recent holiday and i was really impressed with the quality of the sound produced. Didn't sound fuzzy or distorted at all.well recommended

I love this! Excellent bass and can hear it throughout my flat. Would like the battery to last longer when it's not plugged in but other than that it's great

Very loud for it's size and I love it!

This is an excellent little speaker and goes with me wherever I need it.

An amazing sound from such a tiny amp, great bass quality.
