However, a quick trip to their website and viewing the simple yet thorough and thoroughly well written operating manual clearly showed me how easily the voice could be disabled

Absurdly annoying voice prompts when turning on, connecting, etc

Music sounds great but voices and podcasts are usually scratchy and gargled

Good Battery Life- Voice guided operation such as a voice to tell you it is on or connected

Cool sounds and pre-recorded voice lets you know when it's on, paired, turning off, battery level, etc

You can also disable the voice

An audible voice tells you "battery is about three quarter" and "battery is about half"

It starts with an annoying American voice prompt, but you can change it to an Australian woman that doesn't sound too bad (or turn it off completely)

It's great, but the voice to turn on and off and connect is pretty annoying and loud

The new firmware update adds a few other cool little things, ability to turn the rather annoying voice prompts off, it adds more battery levels it tells you, and most importantly the increased volume

It also has a very pleasant voice which tells you when the speaker turns on, is connected and when the battery is low

It comes standard with a hugely annoying "voice prompt", the use of which has led me to completely disqualify any speaker I have ever tested, no matter how superb the sound

Unfortunately the unit speaks to you in the most incredibly annoying bro-voice whenever you do anything- turn it on, turn it off, pair it

This really loud voice says

Wonder if I can get a trade-in?(It's not that it was just a voice- annoyingly loud and non-adjustable, but every action called it up, and it would be capped with a snippet of music and a rimshot, even more irritating.)While disabling the voice eliminates the worst of the problem, it does not get it 100% as the cheerful "Pairing mode" voice informs you when the "pair" button is pressed

I like the voice for battery level

The super cheesy, obnoxious human voice that repeats everything back to you.

GREAT little speaker with excellent voice quality.

I went with fugoo because I was looking for something that had good sound that I good take out on the beach when I went on vacation

its great!!!!i may get another one when the unit goes back on sale.

And just b/c the volume may be louder on other speakers, doesn't mean it's quality volume.
