Soundbot® Waterproof Shower Speaker HD Water Resistant Bluetooth Handsfree Portable with Loud Clear Sounds 6+hrs of Playtime, Wireless Suction Cup Small Durable for Outdoors Travel Home SB510 (Blue)

I give this five stars in consideration for the price. However, do not mistake this for an excellent product itself. This is, by no means, an incredible speaker. For only ten bucks, it is a fantastic bargain, but don't expect sound quality like Beats or Bose. At least in my master bathroom, it has a muffled sound, especially when the shower is on. And it's really not THAT loud. I find it to only slightly enhance the original volume of music from my iPhone at its loudest. And I find the buttons troublesome. They confuse me. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't, but I honestly am not sure if this is just because I don't understand how to use them (I thought I did after reading the instructions, but they haven't worked well for me, so either I misunderstood or they just don't work well) or they malfunction. I write this review mainly to express cons, so as to help provide a more detailed picture of what new customers would be getting from this purchase: I personally find it annoying how the on/off power of the speaker is laid out. When you turn it on/off, a red light flashes on the button and you hear a distinctive sound to signal either on/off. However, this only lasts for a few seconds, so after say a minute, you have no way of telling if the speaker is actually on/off. I also have to complain about the suction cup. I have settled for just laying the speaker down on the shower seat or just outside the shower (maybe on a sink counter or on the edge of the bath-tub), as the suction easily pops and the speaker falls to the ground after ten-twenty minutes. I say this solely based on my own experience in my personal bathroom. But I would estimate that this is the same for anyone else, unless you have some magical shower wall surface. So this certainly wouldn't be able to hold onto the shower wall for days on end. You'd have to place it on the wall before each shower and then take it off when you are finished, before it clatters to the ground by itself. This strategy worked well enough for me, except I found this incessantly repetitive process to be terribly annoying. But, once again, considering the very cheap price of this sticker, this is absolutely fantastic! The sound quality, while slightly muffled, is pretty fantastic. There are no weird static-y noises that most speakers at this price would have. And the blue color is gorgeous! I love it! So, in the "competitive" pool of ten-dollar speakers, this SoundBot is a sure win! I forgot to mention, the battery life isn't very long. I have to recharge it every few days, even though I only use it for my daily morning routine (I'd estimate this lasts about twenty-thirty minutes each day). And the charger that comes with it only includes the chord, not the plug. You have to get a plug yourself. I just use the one that came with my personal iPad charger, since the cable end is of the USB-format. (I'm not very technical in terms) This is kind of annoying, but it works for me. Just a heads up, though, for all you potential buyers. All in all, if you're looking for a bargain deal, I'd definitely recommend! It does the job! If you're looking for a great sound quality, I'm sorry to say that this speaker isn't for you. You most likely won't be satisfied.

*************************** UPDATED REVIEW: *************************** Well friends, there is good news. After the folks at Soundbot saw my original review [posted below], they added a comment about how I should reach out to them via email with my order information and copy my review. So I did! And guess what? I received a quick email response letting me know that I would be receiving a new SoundBot® SB510 HD Water Resistant Bluetooth 3.0 Shower Speaker, Handsfree Portable Speakerphone with Built-in Mic, 6hrs of playtime, Control Buttons and Dedicated Suction Cup for Showers, Bathroom, Pool, Boat, Car, Beach, & Outdoor Use - Black at no extra charge. Ok, I'll check it out. #BAM! A few days later, there it was. Arrived safe and sound through the U.S. Post and included 2 charge cords. Nice!! I tried to charge it up straight away, however the charge wasn't staying on for more than a second or two. "Oh no," I thought, "not again!" But then I wondered if they had specially tested this replacement unit and had it fully charged for my immediate enjoyment. BOOM! They did! Ha ha ha. I stuck this thing up in our shower once again and linked to it instantly. The music was loud and I was happy, yet still cautious for the first few days... How long was the battery charge going to last this time? OVER A MONTH! What?! Yeah, you heard it right. The awesome little speaker kept rocking out the shower tunes for over a month before it finally turned itself off. No way!! I plugged in one of the chargers and let it sit overnight. That was a few weeks ago. So far, after a single charge, it looks like it's going to go for yet another month. This thing is brilliant! Sure, it wasn't ideal that I needed a replacement, but the way SoundBot handled this was extraordinary. I had to update my review from 1 star to 5. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! And, if you get a dud, don't worry. SoundBot will take care of you, in a 100% free way. Thanks, SoundBot! AWESOME!!! *************************** My Original Review: *************************** THE GOOD: Like many 1-star reviewers have stated: at first I was able to charge the SoundBot SB510 easily, as well as pair it via Bluetooth to my Android Galaxy S5 phone. The sound is excellent in the shower, it stays stuck to the walls pretty easily, and overall not bad for the price. THE BAD: The main problem is that you have to re-charge this little guy every time you want to use it. The charge only lasts for 1 shower (tested up to 20 minutes) and then it needs a full re-charge again. This morning, I discovered that even if you fully charge the SoundBot and then attempt to use it a few days after that charge, forget it. it's dead and needs a fresh new charge again. FINAL CONCLUSION: From the generous number of positive reviews, mixed in with a heaping side of negative reviews, it appears the consistency of this product is the main issue. For some people, this product will work as expected. For others, it's a painful waste of time. If you are a gambler, take a shot and hope for the best, but if you want something a little more reliable, I would suggest spending some extra cash for something more reliable.

اشتغلت اول يومين لانها كانت مشحونة شوي بعدها خلاص ما تشحن

good product, unfortunately the volume buttons no longer work. Amazon cant help, and cant get hold of manufacturer.

This is a perfect lightweight and compact bluetooth speaker. Does the job for what I need it for - just for when I take showers. Sound and reception are great. My phone stays in the bedroom and there are no issues w/ connecting. Well worth it in my opinion!

fonctionne toujours après plusieurs mois

Literally the best mini speaker I've ever bought in this price range. I love having this in my bathroom for morning routines but I actually steal it a lot and use it for other events as well. It's not tinny like cheap speakers are expected to be, it's actually really great sound quality which is what all the other reviews said too and I believed them so I bought it. So glad I did. It really is a great little speaker!
