CONs: It turns off Unexpectedly when on batteries, even on new ones. PROs: Sound quality is good. Design awesome. The fact that you can use it with batteries is a big plus.

This is a good little speaker, and relatively punchy sound for its size and price. It's not of Bose oomph, but more than adequate for kitchen, bathroom or picnic. I like the flexibility of having wireless or wired, battery or mains. NFC is good idea but I find of limited use after the first bluetooth pairing, and relies on the paired device having this function. Coupled with a good Radio app / mp3 collection turns any internet phone or tablet into a limitless source of entertainment. Looks a bit like a handbag, but if you can get over that good value. Blue light can become irksome if using to drift off to radio...

This was bought as an alternative to having a cd player with speakers, wasn't sure if it would be good enough but on the whole very pleased with the sound and volume and ease of use. Didn't cost too much as technology is always progressing would recommend it
