Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Cons: If you plan on using this outside of the shower as well, don't expect Bose quality sound. It's made for the shower and sounds excellent, loud, and clear with the "acoustics" of a bathroom and running water. This phenomenon is similar to the one in which people singing in the shower are convinced they can be the next Rihanna or John Legend (see first three weeks of American Idol auditions and/or Simon Cowell clips on Youtube). Can't remove the handle which is not a big deal. Would be nice if it offered suction as an option/accessory so location of speaker isn't bound to either the shower head, soap holder, or towel rack region (FYI, handle is flexible material). Googling, or however you spell it, "Hipe Bluetooth Speaker" does not yield an official Hipe Twitter, Facebook, or Website but the product packaging does say that HipeUSA.com is the Official Website for this product. The website though is quite barren at this point in time. Pros: Does EVERYTHING is says it does as advertised. From my experience, only 40% of products not sold by Apple can claim that. Currently, I don't see a viable competitive product as far as what this one has to offer. For iPhone 4S users like myself, pressing the Call button activates Siri so essentially the speakers will port Siri commands to your iPhone and he/she will read back responses through the speaker. So yes, you can now listen to the last text message you got, send a response, and set a reminder to pick your friend up from the airport this weekend all while taking a shower and not touching your iPhone in the process. No, you cannot see Siri's response to directions to the airport on the Hipe speakers. The only issue I had is that Siri, via the speaker's microphone obviously, had a harder time understanding my perfect pitch and tone (thank you bathroom tile) so I had to speak slower, more clearly, and closer into the microphone to drown out (no pun intended) the sound of running water that probably confused him/her. You can charge the speaker via the mini USB port on the back, and use the full size USB port to charge your phone or other device (I'll add pictures to user photos section so you can see). The product comes with a mini USB cord and wall adapter. Side note: Neither pro nor con, but the speakers have your traditional mesh covering so they're not fully enclosed and thus don't hinder sound. This, and fact that you have a removable cover for the power ports on the back, are probably why you can't dunk your speaker in a pool but you too can spray them with your ridiculously unnecessary Rainforest Shower Head and the Hipe will still live up to its name. I have a Lifeproof case on my iPhone so I can take it with me into the shower and use it as normal. As a result, the only buttons I really need to use on the Hipe are the volume buttons and Power. Basically, I can't comment on how complicated it is to answer calls on it versus sending them to voicemail, rewinding or fast forwarding through a song or even if that's an option, shuffling, etc. Also, the spelling in the user manual was atrocious. It appears whchever compny did the printig just skipped every several i's, r's, etc. like this, but you wold think Hipe cheked this before finalizig and packaging/shippng. A mistake like this doesn't typically affect the product though, or does it? Summary: For use in shower, not bubble bath - Excellent; For use outside of shower - "Medocre"
