Why is this getting such good reviews?! Much better for the money!
I needed a small blue tooth speaker because the Echo Dot sound quality just wasn't cutting it and i would like to add music to whatever room I am working in that may not have a device. I have an Echo Dot 2nd and 3rd gen. The 2nd gen is tinny and the 3rd way too bass centric and boomy, but still better than this speaker. The sound quality doesn't blow me away, in fact, it is pretty bad. Not enough bass and not much of an improvement over my Echo Dot Mini 2nd Gen. Wow, this is so disappointing. The speaker paired easily with my phone and laptop, but had an issue pairing with the Alexa app via blue tooth. The controls are a pain to see in low light. As long as you keep your expectations super low you will be happy. ----Update----- Lost another star after buying the Doss Touch speaker for $4 more. The Doss has MUCH better sound quality and paired to Echo Dot instantly. The Oontz seems to be having difficulties with Alexa. Probably going to return this and buy the upgraded version of the Doss 20W because I am much more impressed with that speaker as a whole. The sound quality on the Doss is more balanced and it has True Wireless Stereo so both can be used simultaneously. At first it was about being an upgrade to the Echo Dot sound quality, but now it's about better sound with every device. I was never happy with the sound on the Oontz to begin with and now it's completely unacceptable after trying a much better speaker within the same price range.
