SOWO Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Powerful Bass - Wireless Speaker with Partyboom Technology - 40W, IP67 Waterproof - Stereo Sound for Outdoor, Camping and Travel Use - Black

This fits perfectly on my necromancer staff top, and amplifies the sound loud enough I can sing to it and drown out the schizos. The sound is great, and I feel like it isn't so loud when I sit in a park cops hear it a block over. Just loud enough I don't have to completely blind myself with headphones, and can drown out nonsense with progressive rock music. I bought it for my necromancer staff, so I could play tunes while I sing and street perform. And I am very happy with it. I wouldn't want it any louder, and the quality is very nice, especially when I put the staff on my shoulder with the speaker right next to my ears.

I thought I first the speakers didn’t sound all that good and I have had better. Until several people at a camp site complemented the speaker. It grows on you and does sound good outside. It also has a great range. I walked to my tent a distance away and the speaker by the camp fire was still playing the playlist. 👍

I am impressed with the quality of this speaker and the long lasting play time. Great buy!

The quality is good, the sound is excellent, the bass is present. But it's a pity that it's mono. I advise you to buy this product (you will not regret it).

BACKGROUND:I've tried a lot of different portable and computer speakers over the years and I've never really been that impressed with any of them. So, when Vine suggested this one to me for a review, I was skeptical to say the least. I fully expected it to be like a lot of other Chinese speakers that I've seen over the years -- muddled and lacking in high frequency and bass response.INITIAL OBSERVATIONS:According to their ad, this speaker can be combined with others of its type and they can all be playing from the same Bluetooth source in unison. A single speaker sounds good enough in my testing in a fairly small area, but I would have really liked to have been able to test it with multiple speakers in a larger area.At $70, it's a bit more expensive than what I would normally buy (i.e. without the significant Vine discount that I'm getting in exchange for writing an *honest* review) without being able to hear it in a store before buying it. I'll spend a lot more than that for speakers and other stereo components for my home *wired* system, but I tend to cheap out on the portable stuff.It has a USB-C port for charging its battery and it can play while charging.COMPLAINTS / ISSUES:There is only a USB-C charging port on the unit, so there is no way to hook it up to your computer if all you have is a 3.5mm line level plug. That's too bad since I think it would be a pretty good desktop speaker, especially since it appears that you can still play music when it is plugged into the USB-C power cable.IMPRESSIONS:One speaker faces the rear, so placing the unit suspended across a bucket or bowl seems to improve the sound quality. I did notice a bit of rattling sound on some of the bass, but as far as I can tell, it was probably being caused by what I had the speaker sitting on since it did seem to go away when I picked it up. You probably should not be boosting the bass too much with your equalizer.I'm ex-military and have spent a lot of time in high noise environments without proper ear protection, so the frequency response of my ears is probably not the same as someone who has not been subjected to this. As such, take my views of the sound quality with this in mind. What sound acceptable to me might not be acceptable to you, but one of these days, you're going to be an old fart also...CONCLUSION:All in all, I think it is probably worth at least a 3.5-star (i.e. "slightly above average") rating. Maybe a bit more...STAR RATING SCALE:1 -- Poor product; Waste of money at ANY price; Blatant lies in the original listing.2 -- Below average product; Something about it is a bit lacking; It could be conflicted specifications or errors in the original listing or that it was arrived with damage that was unlikely to have occurred during shipping and should have been caught in either the manufacturer's or seller's quality control.3 -- Average product; Meets expectations, perfectly serviceable, but does not do anything that sets it apart from similar products; Does not have some features that makes me say, "Wow, that's a neat feature".4 -- Above average product; Something about it sets it a bit above similar products on the market.5 -- Excellent product (or perhaps customer service); There is NO room for improvement whatsoever; NOTHING is perfect, so this rating *should* be EXTREMELY difficult to achieve.Ordered:2024-02-27Received:2024-03-01Reviewed:2024-03-05AmazonID:B0CRDVSFJ7
