Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just bought it a few days ago to use it with my echo dot at night for relaxation music. The sound from the echo dot is kind of flat and ambient sounds like rain, thunder, etc are not as clear as from other speakers. I received it and felt impress with the packaging, the feel of the speaker and it's look. Once I unpacked it, I let it charged until the red light turned blue and then paired it with the dot. I listened to some relaxation music from Pandora and the sound is crisp and clear. It's also loud for its size. I'm giving it a five star rating because, so far, it has work extremely well. The blue light is somewhat a little too bright to use in a bedroom, but not if kept inside its included case. I know there are some bad reviews concerning its battery life, but until something bad happens I can't say anything negative about it. It works wonderfully. By the way, it can also be used while charging...that's a nice option. I'd like to add that due its downward passive radiator, the speaker will vibrate and if place on hard surface, e.g. table, and the volume is set to high, the speaker can fall off...this happened to me once. So be aware of that and make sure it's secured. The other thing is that if you own Amazon Fire HD tablet, I urge you to pair this speaker to the tablet and try to play some music. Whether from Spotify, Pandora or Amazon music, you'll notice the tremendous sound difference this speaker will output as opposed to the tablet's speaker. 8/11/2018: Just encountered an issue that I believe is worth mentioning. The speaker has a warning beeping sound when its battery is running low. Good idea, except that if your are using the speaker at night for relaxation or ambient music to help you sleep, if the battery runs low the speaker's beeping sound will wake you up quickly.
