There are no amount of reviews you can read, no amount of test/sample videos that you can watch that will ever fully prepare you for the sound that comes out of this damn thing!!

I also have the JBL extreme which is a great smaller unit, but this thing is LOUD

Also, this thing is LOUD, and the remote gives you more control over the sound

It locks in your blue tooth signal...and that's a great thing

As many other reviewers have stated, at $300 this thing is a steal

This a great speaker but the only thing that need is to have a remote control ,I dont like the idea to push te bottom to turn on.

My wife hates this thing.

Can't say enough good things.

Funny thing about this purchase was that it was totally accidental

Now for the Bluetooth box: This thing sounds great and is LOUD

One of the nicest things was that as the battery started to really get low the speaker volume decreased a bit but the sound quality still stayed great.

I love this thing

For 300 dollars, this thing is hard to beat

The only strange thing is that if you very slightly rotate the knob with the intention of increasing the volume, it might lower the volume

This thing is great.

I love this thing

So I'm just saying....be prepared to repeat the story about how great this thing is over and over if you buy one

I'm genuinely scared of how loud this thing goes

This problem can easily be solved by adding either an internal top mounted traditional carrying handle or an external attachment that accomplishes the same thing, or even making an A frame backpack that you could strap this thing to.4.5/5**UPDATE 4/12/17**With the weather having turned nice out, I was able to really test this beast to the fullest, and it didn't disappoint

The only thing you could potentially not be happy with is that it is not water resistant, shock proof/resistant, or anything like that, but you really can't complain about that with something this good

First, this thing is incredible

I LOVE THIS THING!!

This thing is amazing!

No one is kidding when they write that this thing is loud

all the way up then put the volume on the phone bluetooth all the way up as well , you will see how loud this thing is ...WOW !

This thing is absolutely INCREDIBLE.

The speaker sounds great no matter what curve you use, and there isn't really a way to set it to make things sound dead

but this thing just blows them away as far as sound goes

This thing is awesome!

The one thing that I would do is work on separating the left and right channels

it is a good/bad thing.

I cannot say enough great things about it.

This thing is awesome.

This thing is so crystal clear but with all the bass you'll ever want

I have sonos inside and this thing sounds as good or even better

it!!!It's still hard to leave my Bose Soundlink behind but this thing is amazing!I have yet to try it out in a noisy environment such as the beach, but I am sure it will have no problem surviving it and not being drowned by other noises

2 years later, still one of the best things I have ever bought

Another great thing about this speaker is its pop out battery so you can have more power on the go

I have yet to test out the battery life, but coming anywhere near the 8 hours listed will be phenomenal with how loud this thing is and how hard it hits even at mid-level volume

This thing is awesome for 300 bucks.

but I guess thats a good thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all, this thing is awesome and I can't wait to get a second one

This thing blows away the competition

Love this thing

If you want to play music loud and rock out, this thing works and has great bass.

I can't say enough good things about it

-I really like the bluetooth lock on this speaker-One thing i dont like is that, i use this for my room and i connected it to my Echo Spot

May be the best thing I've spent my money on in a long time

for $300 it is the best thing on the market and for your

This is a good thing -- want more bass

This thing is the BEST

This thing gets loud and is clear

This thing is way better than I could even imagine.

This thing is incredible

it is a good/bad thing.

For a Bluetooth speaker this thing is amazing

This thing is awesome, very impressed, sounds like a full stereo system

This thing is growing worst every day.

And that’s a good thing

This thing is amazing for the price.

I read and watch several things on this unit and everyone had nothing but great things to say

The only thing is make sure to turn off the power in the back of the unit when not in use as it will drain batteries after a while just sitting there.

So far no issues, this thing can play

The best thing i have got from amazon

You can get this thing very loud and the sound doesn't distort.

Best thing about it is the range

Just got today and this thing is FN awesome

This thing is LOUD and CLEAR ( so technical I know)

First i purchase the refurbished exos 9, arrive and look like new one, but 50 dollar less from new one, l love bass in all music, so i focus in that , and the result is verry good, i used my laptop and s7 edge with root and the result is perfect, this boombox is powerfull for the price, i test monster blaster and braven xx and the aiwa is the winner , i think is no disapiont with this boombox, i thinking buy it other to link both , the only missing thing whit this speaker to be perfect is a wireless multiroom conection , but bluetooth no work bad at all

I came across this one and all the reviews were raving about how great it is and i have to say i agree, this thing is amazing

This thing has gotten me so many noise complaints this year at my house

yes that is how much I love this thing

This thing can get really loud with minimum to no distortion

This thing is awesome

out there was good enough, always lacking of the same important thing, volume, sound quality, deepness and soundstage

The only negative thing I can think to say about it is that the handle is kind of in an awkward position and makes it sort of hard to carry but for $20 you can get the carrying case which I haven't tried yet but a buddy of mine who bought one after seeing mine recommended to me.

Holy crap this thing is amazing

And the best thing it's battery operated also; so no wires needed anywhere

The flashing LED lights are maybe the only good thing about this speaker and I liked the option to turn that feature off or customize the colors (although 2 DIFFERENT apps are required for this - WHAT?)

These things are truly amazing.simply amazing!!!

and it's going to be so much more fun bringing this thing to parties and gatherings with my friends and family as well

This thing is too good

I know there are several other reviews stating how great this thing sounds, and many such reviews talk about how "loud" it can go and the "bass"

The bass is better than any speaker that I've purchased but honestly it's a little underwhelming given how reviews swore that this thing shook the ground

thing is absolutely INCREDIBLE

In all 100% honesty this thing isn't worth $300 maybe $239 at most..smh

This thing sounds great and gets plenty loud

mini sub that I bought 10 years ago at Walmart that blow this thing out of the water in sound level, separation, and frequency response.

Never a bad thing to have more power for that long cookout.

The thing is a beauty

This is probably my favorite thing

This thing is perfect

I went from a Soundscast Melody to this, and I gotta say, "WOW", is this thing for real

The one thing that has not really been brought up is that you can use it without the battery being installed; the good thing about this is that should the battery no longer hold a charge some day and you are not able to get a new battery you will still be able to use it by plugging it into the wall

The fact that it has a built-in equalizer is even more worth it and this thing really is loud!!!!

The controls and interface are mimimalist but that is a good thing.

good thing my neighbors like the music I listen toKinda expensive , but , worth every penny if you love your music.

I AGAIN can't say enough good things about this unit.

This thing is downright amazing

yep not a whole lot of great things to say, but I honestly didnt even think about them until I read some guy bitching about them in the reviews

This thing sounds incredible

If you DO want loud, this thing definitely gets loud

I just think it is the right thing to do.

This thing is amazing.

Easily one of the best things you can buy on amazon, I will buy another one soon and if they decide to upgrade the firmware so you can hook up more than two at

Holy crap this thing is amazing

Lastly, if you are still trying to decide, pull the trigger and buy the damn thing

Jeez, I was not prepared for how loud this thing can get

This thing makes it shine!I thought I lost the ability to hear good music over the years of my kids screaming in my ears

The only thing is I think you have to repair them each time, though that may not be a bad thing as you decide if you want them stereo or kind of on their own, I haven't experimented wth how far apart they can be

This thing is the best for the money, and worth every penny

The only “annoying” thing is regardless of the volume setting, my iPhone notifications always come through at peak volume.

Good thing my neighbors are not so close.

I can't say enough good things about this speaker

I even love the color of the display on the front!The only minor thing I would mention, is that there is a seemingly large step up from one of the moderately-loud settings to the next volume notch up, where it gets a little louder than you'd expect

Ok, I LOVE this thing!

Only bad thing was tracking this thing was near impossible

I'll be honest that the big blue had comparable sound at low ranges but this thing sounds immensely better the louder it goes

All the positive things I've heard about This speaker are absolutely true

This is the best thing I have bought this year

For me the most important thing is good overall sound, which this has plenty of, and clear music at decent volume, which this has in spades

good thing my neighbors like the music I listen toKinda expensive , but , worth every penny if you love your music.

Me and my kids think its the best thing I have purchased all year.

LOVE THIS THING!!!

n’t the speakers fault it’s just not designed with that in mind.

Jimmy in Texas went above and beyond to send me a new 6.5 woofer as I damaged mine (my personal fault, hard on it in the military) and he even sent me a gift which was beyond any customer service I’ve ever seen

and that's not disrespecting G-boom which I also love and have.

10 times louder then G-
