We're all chasing for that magical blue tooth speaker with the perfect sound. I'm laughing while writing this review as well! I'm not sure if that "perfect" speaker chase will ever end because it probably doesn't exist. As for this speaker I'm happy to have it. The sound is darn good. It's plays loud. The sound, and I'm not sure how they did it is almost impossible to distort. Oh there nothing more annoying or puke to the ears than distortion. This speaker is not very big and I'm not sure if they put a lead weight in it to make it feel like something is inside. If it has anything to do with the quality sound then fine by me. Like everyone I've owned more than a few speakers and really like this one. It's a keeper. May I suggest the red? The black is cool but looks like all the others. The blue would be fine but doesn't catch my eye. Now, for the part everyone looks for in these comments. Does it bump? Like is it going to make the house vibrate, blow the windows out and gladly have the cops over to tell me the bass has got to be cut back? Yes and no. Hear is my matter of fact answer about the speaker. It really is loud, really is unbelievably clear at high volumes, really has some weight to it and all of that really comes in a small package. As for bass, I'm EXTREMELY happy with the lows put out and clearly. Is it that magical speaker that we're all hopelessly looking for? It is not. For the price and size I really don't believe you will find a speaker that can beat this gem. No, there is nothing that can come close. 99 bucks? This doesn't sound anywhere close to that price. I'm keeping this and happily.
