No bass, a can pass mid, poor battery

Bluetooth Splashproof Roar Portable Speaker - Blue

Triple your purchase amount and grab a bose mini which is about 9 times smaller in size, louder and battery lasts much longer. quality of sound isn't bad for the mid but has no bass at all.

This is quite good.

Bluetooth Splashproof Roar Portable Speaker - Blue

This is quite a good unit. I picked one up because the micro 3W speakers I have are perfectly fine, only at close range and in quiet spaces, but the road noise in the car drowns them out at speed, and outside of the car, I can't hear them over any great distance, especially if there is any back ground noise.

So this is an intermediate fill in for the car audio system, and all around the house audio system.

It's very good.

BUT the magic volume control - is worked by just dabbing the Volume Up + or Down -- buttons, rather than pressing and holding the buttons, which changes to the next or previous track in a play list.

The Audio Quality is very good with a nice FULL area kind of sound filling ability.

... Read moreEven kind of wide open spaces are full sounding. It charges up just fine from a USB charger or a port, however a small independent mains based charger would have been a thoughtful inclusion with the unit. It has the small round charger port in the back, but no plain charger. This is important, as although the USB ports and power supplies are almost everywhere, there are places where there are no USB ports to access... And with some people - it may be better to leave them plugged into the wall and fully charged, rather than cycling the battery. The kind of weather resistant construction is a good idea. They Bluetooth quite well from the phone or the notebook. This is kind of new to me (long stories) and the absence of cables everywhere is GREAT. Overall they are a good unit. It's only genuine oversight is a design issue, meaning the device is essentially a cylinder, and it has fairly narrow feet, and this is fine on HARD FLAT surfaces. But on soft surfaces, such as beds etc., because of the components that have a great deal of mass, such as the internal battery and the tweeters on the front of the unit, are up high and in the front of the unit, it always rolls off it's feet and faces front down. It does need a redesign to relocate the heavy internal components, into the base of the unit to make it stand up right, on soft surfaces... You the people running KMART, contract me, and I will show you how to do it. I'd recommend them. For sure. BUT in hindsight, Kmart are absolute rouges to deal with.... without opening the unit, it appears that the internal connectors are pressed into the circuit board with the rice paper thin tabs folded over, instead of soldered to the board, as the internal connectors push off - yes they are that bad. AND the fabric over the front, is merely pressed into the moulded gaps between the parts, and as this works loose the fabric falls off and it it exposes a fairly robust plastic case with holes in it to let the round out and to help with some internal resonance to drive the silicon rubber diaphrams inside the case which double as bass drivers. One one hand there are many things about this unit that are inexcusable - bad design and poor quality control and really shonky connectors, and tatty build quality. The people in Kmart - are generally too clueless to buy anything on any issue other than price, even if it's branded with their own trademark. They do not know how to design anything, and are too apathetic and lazy to make the use of brilliant designers when they come their way. Where I live - it's so quiet you really can hear someone stirring their cup of tea in the morning, 4 houses down the street. SO I do not need a lot of amplification in my general outside work area.... 1/2 volume by bluetooth, of a decent speaker (person with Microphone), at a podium, on stage, at a conference, is plenty loud. Since I leave it plugged into the USB power supply ALL the time, because the input power plug fell off the circuit board and now rattles around inside it, I am disappointed that the design and build quality is so poor, but it does make a nice sound and now the fabric has fallen off the front and it's glued with an industrial foam adhesive to a board, to stop it rolling forward, it looks really tatty and no one wants to steal it... But Kmart do tend to specialise in bottom dollar quality products which come with a bottom dollar quality control, and I only picked this up because their Anko brand basically garbage blender stick died.. and I traded that back in and paid the difference for the Audio unit, because getting another blender was out of the question - as "cheap" ought to mean good quality at a lower price., not cheap and nasty and cost cutting to the point it's really a trade off between selling more units of throw away goods, rather than creating great goods and selling them for less of a mark up by effiencies through the supply chain etc. The Kmart Anko brand stick blenders - are like $15 and 150W - but considering the quality of anything from Kmart, they are the port of last call or for urgent reasons only type purchases. Buying things that are so defective by design, that they they go from the shopping trolly to landfull in one step, is not my cup of tea.
