Every cheaper option from boat, infinity and similar brands has terrible sound quality and you're better off playing songs from your phone speakers, having used this for 3 months now I can very confidently say that you can skip spending 6k more for a JBL flip, ofcourse side by side you'll hear a difference but that difference is so minute that you know you are getting diminishing returns. The sound quality is great, speaker gets suprisingly loud and can easily fill a big room and perform well in an house party. The battery leaves you wanting more at higher volumes but at low volumes it is respectable, lasting me about 7-8 hours at 25-35% volume. Built quality is decent and the connectivity is excellent, no need to open settings on your phone, connects instantly. Usb-c is hard to find at this budget so it is an welcome inclusion. 5/5

The sound is excellent !!! The build is good !!! Clarity is excellent just not made for podcasts, the vocals come with deep bass so its good for music.. Bass is punchy and thick !!! I love the bass it produces No distortion at max volume !!! No bass distortion at max volume !!! Deep bass mode is useless it increases the bass and loudness but the quality is compromised !!! Never really used it .. The sound and bass is solid Even at 50% volume and below as well.. This is not a balanced speaker its Bass heavy so not made for podcast listeners or audiophiles, the Bass and Audio is very well calibrated for music but if you only listen to Podcasts i think you should skip this one because the vocals or i should say the low pitch voices (Male) comes with a lot of bass abouve 50% volume so sometimes you need to increase the volume to hear it clearly which increases the bass even more but high pitch voices (Female) are good and clear to hear.. High frequency 5/5 Mid frequency 4/5 Low frequency 5/5 The battery backup is good when played at 50-60 % volume which is sufficient for indoors you will get 8-10 hrs but if you push it to 100% volume which is pretty loud for indoor usage you will get around 2-5 hours of playtime depends on what are you playing !!! But if you want to play it at 80-100% mostly the battery backup is gonna be a problem so if you want long lasting battery at higher volume levels better skip this one and the charging takes 4 hours also so max Volume usage won't be satisfactory.. Mi claims 13hrs of playtime at 50% volume so can't blame them.. Charging:- 1st hour 40% 2nd hour 70% 3rd hour 100% Extra 40-50 min until the charging light turns off which is a waste of time i think its for safety..

1. Just a little distortion at max volume but u probably wouldn't notice it! 2. When the battery claimed 13 hours i expected atleast 4-5 hours of battery at max volume but the battery is seriously worst at max volume... Approx less then 3hrs of battery at max volume. 3. Bass is just ironic for the size and also a lil punchy!!! Vocals and trebles are pretty good too but they start to crack very little at max volume (Vocals and trebles cracks only)

It's been more than a year still working best. Quality build.

Sound is good. Bass is also good. Charge doesn't last long. It doesnt even go for 2 hours on 100% volume. So the battery life could have been better

Its unfortunate to receive a defective piece. Seems either the battery is not getting charged or the Bluetooth function is not working. While charging the amber light started blinking and even after 3 hours it was the same status. On pressing Power ON button after removing from charging, get voice alert- Powered On , ready for Bluetooth mode..... and the green light blinks for around 2 seconds and then it goes OFF and the speaker is not available for selection for Bluetooth connectivity. Repressing the power ON button again , still give the speaker is POWERED ON message and same status. Also even though it says "Return Policy" , its mandatory "REPLACEMENT". Hope to receive a working speaker as replacement and free of manufacturing defects to last for at least a year or two. 26-Nov-2022:17:23- Replacement was to be delivered yesterday by 9pm, today I see a status - not delivered as recipient was not contactable- appreciate if Amazon can give some supporting on how I was contacted. I tried reaching the agent number- rings- get a message it maybe recorded for training purpose- can hear 2-3 time dial/transfer tone and then- Line busy message continuously. Appreciate an SMS, WhatsApp on delivery agents number for me to call as cant go out of house as defective piece is to be returned while taking delivery of replacement. 27Nov22: Received the replacement yesterday by 7pm and working fine. Quality and sound is quite good.

Battery works 3 hours on full volume and 7 hours on half volume

I am writing this review after a long time from my purchase. It's been more than a year. I've used this speaker a lot. Trust me, A LOT. I had 47K minutes on my Spotify Wrap. So you get the idea how much I'm into listening music. Half of that 47K must have been through this device. Easily. And it's still LIKE NEW. like the day I bought it. The Maximum Volume is quite good. The Bass is STUNNING. It's waterproof too! I got it for ₹1,800/- and I absolutely do not think that I could have gotten a better speaker for that price. Just close your eyes, trust what I say, and click the buy button. It will be your best purchase in budget sound systems. Till date.
