I am going to use this item to play acoustic guitar, and to run Spotify through out by the pool. I guess it’s OK for that. Before, I used an active “1200 watt” active speaker with a slave, that has found it’s permanent home in a garage. Plugging in 2 cables to that system and lugging it around the property became a hassle so I bought this battery powered single unit with a 15 inch woofer and no electricity required. It sure looks a lot louder than it is. My wife would say it’s loud enough, but I like to get real loud on occasion. The sound is clean with everything cranked using a wireless acoustic or Spotify. Lacks the balls for big parties or any professional duties. Might work if you are jamming for quarters on the street if there is a strict noise code. If you are just going to use it out in your yard, it’s totally OK. Bluetooth connection good, no problem. A standard Chinese handset was included which might be good if you for some reason would want to turn it down.
