Placing this speaker under the pillow amplifies the bass response drowning out annoying low frequency night noises.

Still can hear it over all the loud noises.

I gave 4 stars for a couple of reasons: the speaker makes a fairly loud noise when turning on and off, so if you are trying to be discreet (or not wake a sleeping baby), it can be a little aggravating.

Worked fine in the beginning, the sound was amazing for its size, but after a few months there was an underlying static noise and it just fizzled out and stopped working.

Right as I got it though there is a humming noise while playing music and listening to podcasts

There is a considerable amount of static noise coming from the unit as soon as the Bluetooth is enabled
