Half deaf senior can hear the tv!!!

Wow! I purchased this speaker because my tv is 12 feet across the room and I am a senior with hearing loss. My tv is louder than normal and always told by family it's too loud. I decided to try this item out since so many great reviews. Took 2 or 3 times to Bluetooth to my tv but that's because I didn't set it right. Now, I put the speaker on and I was disappointed the speaker wasn't that loud. I was ready to send it back. Then something told me to check the audio on tv. I thought I had the type of audio wrong checked which may have lowered the volume due to the type of audio. But, before I could do that, I noticed that the volume on the tv was low. Naaah, that couldn't be the problem could it? Well, I raised the volume on the tv ( the tv doesn't get louder) and guess what! THE VOLUME ON THIS SPEAKER WAS BLASTING!!!! I then had to lower this speaker because it was too loud! This speaker is great, great and GREAT!!! Great sound! U will not be disappointed!!!! Take it from a half deaf senior!!!

so I didn't need anything great or loud

So, this is my first experience with any Anker products. This thing got delivered yesterday and I've been furious ever since. I bought it for background music for my office, so I didn't need anything great or loud, so I thought this $29 speaker would do the trick. The problem is that I spent about $250 on a Braven speaker last year for camping and such, and although I was more than pleased with the performance of that speaker, it is only marginally better sounding, and maybe just a little louder than this Anker speaker. It's also about 3 times as big and has a 12 hour battery life, as opposed to the Anker's 24. This is probably the best value I have even seen in a Bluetooth speaker. I just wish I would have found this before spending tons of money on others. I would gladly have paid more money for a speaker of this quality. Is it the utmost in premium quality sound? Of course not, don't be an idiot, it's a tiny speaker that costs under $30... but I think you would be hard pressed to find anything at this price point that comes anywhere even remotely close to the awesomeness you get with this speaker. I will be buying more anker stuff.

Great value speaker!

No question, was the best speaker for the price! In short: solid design, long battery life (sometimes I even forget that it runs on batteries), nice button placement, good response (can double press play to skip forward), nice sound (some bass and doesn’t sound like its coming from a can), I do not use it much that way but good enough as a speaker phone (make sure that microphone is placed upright and facing you), water resistant and feels / looks like one (one continuous piece of rubber on all three sides with mesh on front), long range, easy connectivity and good reliability. Had it for almost a year now and no problems! We liked it so much that we decided to buy a second one so we did not have to share...:) Small sidenote: would be nice for the Bluetooth speakers in general to connect to each other to play off of the same music device (just a thought)!

You can paint the grill

Great little speaker—especially for the price. Sound is crisp and full, it looks great, and has a nice, solid heft to it. It's also extremely easy to pair to an iPhone. Once paired, it quickly and reliably connects to my phone when turned on. I get that Anker wants people to see their brand name and the white paint they used isn't so bright that the logo is obnoxious, but I still didn't want to look at it. So, using a metal pick in holes around the perimeter, I slowly and carefully pried off the grill. It's held in by tension and a very thin strip of black adhesive tape. Once the grill was off, I wrapped masking tape around the small ledge all the way around the grill. This was to keep from painting and ruining the black adhesive so I could reattach it later. If you use the slick, non-sticker paper from a sticker sheet you might get better results than I did. The masking tape took off a small amount of the adhesive, but it still worked. Then, with a $4 can of generic-brand metallic copper spray paint from the hardware store, I gave it a couple coats from all directions. Don't spray too heavily or you'll clog some of the small holes in the grill. IMO, it turned out perfect. Really classes up the little speaker.

Incredible battery life, solid speaker

It's a fantastic little speaker with *incredible* battery life. The battery life is so long, in fact, that it's actually an issue that it doesn't have a battery indicator! You really don't ever know if it's gonna go out or not - and it never does! This isn't always a huge issue for me, though, as I mainly use it as a simple solution for an external speaker at my desk. You can plug it in for charging and still keep the music going. Also, with it being a modern lithium battery, you can simply charge it whenever you feel like, and the battery life won't be negatively affected. (What, you're gonna miss that extra half of a minute off of a 24 hour battery life?) The sound quality is also fantastic for the size of the speaker and price point. You won't be rattling the rafters or anything, but you also won't really ever feel like you're missing something. The only time I've ever wished it was louder is when I wanted to use it on the counter while I was in the shower.

Unbeatable Quality and Affordability

I can't sing the praises of Anker and their products enough. I own several other products of theirs (it all starting with their PowerCore Chargers) and they've hit it out of the park on another one. Solid, quality products that are highly functional, versatile and affordable. Live in SoCal and got this for beach / backyard patio / general Bluetooth speaker. Researched a few others including Bose SoundLink / Beats and I found the reviews (and notably the price) to guide me toward buying. I'm SO glad I did. Truly y'all (from the south so no apologies) buy this. Stop your endless pursuit I hear some of you here "but that bass though" "the distance for connectivity." Please. If the bass isn't enough for you, you're A) Out of your mind and setting unrealistic expectations and B) Probably should be looking at more expensive products and not wining about this one. This is solid no matter how you compare it to the competition. Pairing is super simple. Have a 2100 sq ft home and in an upstairs bedroom I can still hear it and it fills a room completely (when placed at top volume limit). Materials are quality and I even got the case ($14.99 or what have you) that they make to go with. Don't waste time or money looking, this is your guy/gal. Trust.

After your ears become accustomed to it, the sound ...

After your ears become accustomed to it, the sound will seem clear and crisp with depth. It doesn't have booming bass but it reproduces the thumping sound of the bass really well so if it's in a corner it will sound boomy but without any of the actual movement. The battery life is RIDICULOUS. I gave it a full charge and got over a week play time while playing via bluetooth at around 5 presses below max volume for about 10 hours a day. The volume on my phone is usually right at the orange bit where it warns you about playing for too loud etc,

Loud, easily to pair, easy to adjust -- just what I needed

My T12 speaker refused to properly pair with my new Kindle. I suppose I could have tried to figure out what was wrong, but I've had the T12 for a few years and it doesn't owe me anything. I'd have bought another one -- it had really excellent sound with quite good bass, but they aren't making that version anymore and I didn't like the others. I have other Anker product and ALL of them work well, from the smallest inexpensive SD reader to some fairly complicated interface devices. When I saw this at a very reasonable price, I bought it. It paired with the Kindle instantly and it sound very good. Less bassy than the T12, but it was also less expensive and this one has the advantage of being rather louder than the T12. Since I use it for audiobooks and not music, I'm not all that concerned with bass. This is a good, loud speaker. It charges quickly, pairs easily, adjusts without complaint. I'm very pleased with it and the price is more than reasonable.

Amazing customer service

I had purchased this speaker and it had stopped working just after the return period. I posted my disappointment, and the customer support team was unbelievable in following up with me and getting me a new speaker! They really wanted to be sure that I had a working speaker. They were very nice and sincere. I am sure to purchase their products again, knowing that they stand so strongly behind their products. It was a pleasure to deal with them.

Awesome sound in a small package!

Why did I wait, this thing rocks! Have only had it for a week, but took it with me on a trip and was fun to have something better than a phone to play tunes while getting ready in the morning. It was small and fairly light so tucked right in my carryon. I sing in a blues band and picky about sound so did a good bit of research prior. Great for a home office as well and much better than laptop speakers. This has great sound, you can probably turn it up to about 60% before any distortion begins, so will fill a medium sized room with great sound, but not a ballroom. It does have an aux input. I have not tried it outdoors yet. I do suggest you buy the protective case by Dsall. and my only suggestion to the manufacturer for the next version, the controls are molded into the rubbery top of the unit and are very hard to see in a dark hotel room! One thing I did not notice in other reviews, (might have missed it) if configured in your settings, when connected to your device (iPhone 6 for me) your lock screen will give you a notice of the battery life of the Anker as well as your iPhone, so no guessing about how much battery life is left. I have only charged it once and have likely played it for a total of 4 hours over the last week (Bluetooth) and the battery still says 100%.
