Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Bought 2 of these, one white and one red so that we could take advantage of stereo and party modes. In party mode they both play the same exact audio and in stereo one is left and one right ( obviously ) I do recommend getting 2 different colors, when you open the app it actually identifies the speaker and its color so setting left or right for stereo is super simple since you can see each speaker pictured with its color. Reason I chose these JBLs is based on some reviews I have read and watched on youtube. They are not the loudest out there but plenty loud and for me the selling point was that even at max volume the sound was crisp and didn't distort. They are water and dust proof, I have dropped one under water already and it still works great. We take these along when we go paddle boarding and clip them to our boards without any worries of them getting wet. While paddling I operate my phone all via voice which works really well with this speaker. So as far as sound goes they are great, range is great, really are waterproof and plenty loud for a party. Reason I took away 1 star is that there is no way to go to previous track, not that I have discovered anyway, please msg me if I am wrong and I'll up the rating. The play button acts as play/pause/and with double tap next track.. Why not add a triple tap for previous? Or maybe use the Bluetooth connect button double tap for previous? Since the speakers get software updates maybe this is something that will get implemented. If you are wondering if the stereo and party modes and if its worth getting these for that alone I would say yes. We used them on a houseboat in both party and stereo mode and the sound filled the entire upper deck of the 80 ft boat with no problem.
