Urge Basics Soundbrick Bluetooth Stereo Speaker with Built-in Mic
Urge Basics Soundbrick Bluetooth Stereo Speaker with Built-in Mic

Pros: -I got it on sale so this cheep speaker was even cheeper. -It has good range; I can play it off my laptop across an open room or through the wall into my bathroom -It's decently loud. It's not amazing and wont drown anything out but, I can hear it clearly over my shower, over cooler fans at work, and at social gatherings it can't be all the way up if talking is going to be easy. -Awesomly it works when the power is plugged in and it has an AUX in so if you run into a situation where bluetooth would burn too much battery or someone has an older ipod, you can just plug it in. -Sound quality is nice. Way louder and better then the speakers on my Macbook pro and obviously better then my phones speakers. Honestly the sound is better then $10 desktop speakers. It seems to favor a basey sound which could be a prow or a con depending on your feelings. -Battery lasts a good while. I've never killed it in a single sitting. Played it non-stop at a party for 4-6 hours and it still had battery remaining. Not exactly sure on the time but I would guess its around 8hrs battery life with the bluetooth. Probably longer if you used the aux in because bluetooth is a battery hog.

Cons: -As before, it's kinda basey. Its still way better then my laptop speakers but when watching movies I wish the pitch was slightly different. -Things can always be louder. It puts out as much sound as I expected for the price, size, and being battery operated but a guy can always wish for more, right? -It vibrates a lot on base beats. I mean, to put out decent base, which it does for what it is, it has to move a bit. If you put it on a flimsy table or something that vibrates, its-self, it can be kinda annoying. I put it on a wire rack once and it was comical.

Overall Review: Totally worth the price. If you play music on your phone, ever, or would like to, then you should get this device. I imagine the bigger name devices like this put out better/louder sound but honestly this device is great. It's cheep enough that I just keep it with me. Inside of a week of having it, it greatly improved the setting for 3 different parties, made showering more enjoyable, and allowed me to hear shows on my laptop when I'm cooking things that are louder like bacon, or really anything that sizzles. And, at this price point I'm happy to keep it on me at all times because if it got lost, stolen, or if I broke it I wouldn't be heart broken. Totally replaceable.
