No better than device's internal speakers
920179
It's no louder nor better in tone than the internal speakers in my MacBook or my iPhone 4S. In fact, at higher volume settings the distortion is objectionable. Based on performance, I don't see the point of carrying this extra device around.

Sound quality is not great and av jack for speakers are even worse.

I've had these speakers for a few months now and have never gotten them to work properly.  I've tried two different bluetooth adapters in my PC and neither connect consistently and when they do the sound is extremely choppy.  No real latency, just droppouts.  I've given up.

I bought the Bestfy Earbuds with the remote mic and I was was sadly disappointed. The volume control inconsistently worked, which made it super frustrating, especially while on the go.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Bestfy-TM-Earphones-Earbuds-Headphones-with-Remote-Control-and-Mic-for-iPhone-6-Plus-6-6s-6s-Plus-iPhone-5s-5c-5-iPad-iPod-with-1pcs-Charging-Cable-Cord-White/dp/B017K3K2ES/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Bestfy(TM)Earphones/Earbuds/Headphones with Remote Control and Mic for iPhone 6 Plus 6 6s 6s Plus, iPhone 5s 5c 5, iPad /iPod, with 1pcs Charging Cable Cord.(White)</a>

I really wanted to like this unit but just could not. It is built very solid and the polk quality shines through with the leather sides and a hefty 4 pounds.
 I first bought the unit because all of the positive reviews. I removed the unit from the box and was impressed by its appearance. Initial connection to bluetooth was a breeze on my iphone. I then played music from many different genres like atlas genius, jazz masters, Metallica, some classic rock, dubstep and a many more. At lower volume It was not bad if the unit was placed in an area that would accent bass response. As soon as I turned the volume up to 1/4 it became separated. The lows seemed disconnected from the highs and mid to low mid frequencies seemed non existent. The treble frequencies were really harsh to the point I could not even listen. If the unit was not in an area that reflected the bass the. There was none.
 To be fair the camden square did sound ok, at higher volumes, if positioned just right and you were at a distance. It could perform some pretty tricky bass lines but at that distance even at full volume it was just not loud enough to satisfy the average listener.
 I did not try the app out because I figured if I did not like the sound that there was no reason to go any further.
 Normally a speaker can sound a little harsh before it is broke in so I did play this for about 20 hrs to see if it would start to break in. Although it started to sound a little better It still sounded to separated for me.
 I also had to manually select camden square every time in bluetooth to connect again by tapping on the name. ( what a pain)
 Pros:
- 24 hr battery life
- quality build
- does not drop bluetooth connection
- leather sides
- DJ app ( assuming it works as described )
- sound at lower volumes

Cons:
- large size
- harsh highs and separate sound
- have to manually Connect bluetooth every time
- 4 pounds
- highest volume just not loud enough

I am an audiophile and know what good sound is and simply put a good unit should play any genre of music and sound fantastic doing it. This did not. I have honestly tested most of the portable bluetooth units on the market including all bose offerings, ue boom, jlab crasher, sound matters foxl and many more. Although the foxl was one of the best for sound it lacked volume and could vibrate so much it became quite annoying.
 After extensive testing I settled on the TDK a33. Although not perfect the sound quality is fantastic at any volume and stays perfectly balanced at any volume. It is also water resistant ( I've tested it ) and can get very loud. It gets about 5 hours battery life at full volume and 6 at reduced level ( after break in period). Im telling you though the more I listen to the a33 and it gets broke in the more beautiful the sound.
 I hope this will help prospective buyers make a decision. Again I am an audiophile and these things may not matter to some or may not be detected by the less discerning ear so although it did not work for me it may work for some.

I purchased this unit based on the reviews. I intended to use it for audio books and music. I was sorely dissapointed. The sound quality reminds me of a 1970's 2 dollar transistor radio. There is hardly any volume. The ear bud connection is shaky---if you jiggle it it gets crackly. I tries 2 sets of ear buds--same thing. Also the sound is shared between the internal speaker and the earbuds, hence the poor volume. When I called Apple to get a fix, they told me that the SN I have was sold in 2010, even though I received it from an Amazon reseller in March 2012. They would not stand behind this. They also said the reseller, MoBo LLC is not an authorized Apple distributor. This device is super difficult to navigate. There are layers and layers of menus to do the simplest task. All I want to do is listen to it, but it takes video, acts as a pedometer (though it only counts about every third step) displays cover art (who cares?), walks, talks, and crawls on its belly like a reptile---all poorly. This is the ultimate gidget-gadget, trying to be all things to all people, making it so very unnecessarily complex. It even has an EQ that allows you to make music sound like tango, rhumba, and so many other doofus sounds that you gotta say HUH?? I returned it to Amazon, no questions asked. Now I will look for something NOT MADE BY APPLE that will be compatible with all the iTunes songs and Audible.com books I downloaded. Unless you just have to have a source of unending frustration, stay away from this device. Oh, yeah, it even has a clock. Ever hear fo a watch, APPLE??

The sound quality is poor.  For example, FM radio sounds as poor as AM radio does on my decades old receiver. Playing Spotify with Bluetooth through my phone on this unit sounds even worse than its FM radio does (and at a MUCH different volume -- beware).  Onkyo has always had a very good reputation for high quality and accurate sound reproduction; so I really looked forward to using this receiver.  I got it in the mail today, and was utterly disappointed. The sound is so bad no matter how one has the treble and bass set up.  I'm using this solely for two-channel audio (with my speakers connected only to the Front Left & Front Right channels).  I don't have a monitor  connected to it.  The set up is cumbersome without a monitor.  Connecting it directly to Spotify (instead of via Bluetooth with my phone) without using a monitor is no mean feat; I'm not sure I'll be able to do it.  I would not recommend this unit at all--not even if using a monitor.  A MUCH cheaper receiver should sound better.

I travel a lot and like to play music in my hotel room through my laptop but wanted to get something with more juice than the speakers built into my laptop.  I was extremely disappointed when I first heard these speakers.  They were so weak and distorted I switched back to my Laptops speakers after just a couple minutes of the weak, fuzzy distorted sound they made.  They were clearly weaker than my laptops built-in speakers, which are not that great.

I recommend these only if your current laptop does not have its own speakers, otherwise it's basically the same or worse for playing music as standard built-in laptop speakers.

I purchased 8 of these for my new finished basement in 2010 and installed them myself.  Installation is a snap and the speakers are easy to hook up as they come with spring mount terminals.  Here's the issue:  These are voice grade speakers at best.  There is nothing wrong with them per se, they just are not good for music.  Sound is very flat, with little bass and little treble frequencies.  Results with poor quality audio if you are playing music from a receiver.  After a few years, I decided to upgrade and subsequently purchased the Pyle 2-way PDIC51RD speakers which were actually about the same cost - as of 10/2014 they are $24 a pair.  The two way speakers are a little smaller, but fit in the same mounting hole and sound dramatically better and I am selling the PDICS6's on eBay.  Much better.  I would not recommend the PDICS6 unless you are only looking for a voice grade speaker.

I figured I'd have a pretty good shot at getting a decent quality item, since it is made by Motorola, but I'm extremely disappointed.  The volume level of the speaker audio of the internal voice is too low to hear unless you're engine is off and your windows are rolled up.  Most of the time, the unit does not respond to verbal commands.  Once you have a call connected, the speakerphone works with a better volume level than that of the internal voice, but the audio quality from the speaker is harsh and distorted.  I am throwing this in the trash and buying a different brand.

I was hoping for a much better product that unfortunately I have elected to return for a Bose Soundlink Mini.  The hand activated feature to stop/pause and rewind/forward is cool but too sensitive or it doesn't register your hand motions at all.  The most disappointing thing was the fact that the sound quality was pretty mediocre.  I was looking for a portable speaker that packs a punch.

We bought this thinking it could pass as a replacement for our now obsolete Sony Dash, boy were we wrong.

The interface is really annoying to use, all functions do work but reading the manual is mandatory. So much for user-friendly consumer electronics.

The screen / clock buzzes loudly if the dimmer is set to anything less than full brightness. This is totally unacceptable for a clock living in a bedroom and even on the most dim setting the screen was way too bright.

One pro is the sound quality -- it is phenomenal for such a compact unit.

Overall, streaming through your phone or computer to a high quality speaker system (Bluetooth or otherwise) is a much better choice.

The dynamic range is very limited and the very cheap amplifier can easily overpower the apparently even cheaper speaker. Its only a slight improvement over my iPhone speakers. Not worth it if I have to carry an extra speaker around. It will be going back.

Sound quality through the sound bar is only marginally better than the television built in speakers. The subwoofer and satellite speakers simply don't work. They lose wireless connectivity constantly and most attempts to reconnect fail. Every now and again, I can get them to connect, but it seems random. The iPhone application loses connection with the speaker just as often. And Ive waited too long to return it. Pretty big waste of money.

Like many others purchasing these speakers, I was hoping to upgrade the sound quality of built-in speakers on a flat screen TV. Initial impressions were generally positive, the speakers arrived quickly and securely packaged. Overall fit and finish was not too shabby. The heft and feel contributed to the good vibe. I would not be embarrassed to have them in the living room. Unfortunately, things went downhill quickly from here.
I put some little sticky feet (not included) on the speakers to keep them from bouncing around and hooked them up. Powering them with the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Lepai-LP-A68-Digital-2-x-15W-Amplifier-with-Remote-USB-MP3-SD-FM/dp/B00721Z1AE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Lepai LP-A68 Digital 2 x 15W Amplifier with Remote/USB/MP3/SD/FM</a>, I was unable to drive them to adequate listening levels. By comparison, the Lepai amp easily pushes my&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Micca-MB42X-Bookshelf-Speakers-Black/dp/B00E7H8GG2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Micca MB42X Bookshelf Speakers (Black)</a>, leading me to the conclusion that the Pyle cubes are not terribly efficient. The sound quality was not all that spectacular either - though marginally better than the built-in speakers.
Curious as to how they would perform using more capable amplification, I lashed them to my Yamaha RX-V475 (80W per channel) receiver and tuned to my favorite classic rock station. I immediately noticed they weren't as loud as the Miccas (which I had just disconnected) at the same volume setting. I increased the volume in small steps to reach a moderate listening level. The bass output, as others have noted, exceeded expectations for such a small speaker. The treble, however, was harsh and tinny. Further evaluation (at least in stereo) was unceremoniously cut short by the abrupt failure of the left channel speaker.
Post-mortem examination (with my Fluke multi-meter) revealed that the three inch driver's voice coil windings had opened (melted), resulting in loss of cone excursion (silence). I estimate the Yamaha was hitting them with about 10 watts of power at the time of failure - well within their advertised 100W power handling capabilities.
This disappointing failure did create an opportunity to (unfairly) evaluate the surviving speaker side-by-side against the MB42X. Trust me, the Pyles don't even come close to the efficiency and silky response of the Micca. The harsh and hissing treble characteristics became unbearable to me within just a few more minutes of listening. The very best part of my experience with the Pyle PCB3BK speakers came in pulling the wires and hooking up something decent.
At this point, I'm not sure pursuing a warranty claim is even remotely worthwhile.
My advice: Skip this disappointing offering, save your pennies, and buy yourself some real speakers.

Sound distorted; does not have any more volume then the built-in speaker on the device that I was wanting use this item on. Not worth buying.

They sounds good, but the "true wireless" functionality (which was a big selling point for me) is essentially unusable. The secondary speaker constantly cuts in and out, quickly becoming very annoying. I've upgraded the firmware to latest a couple of time, but no improvement. I'm currently using them both independently, so all is not lost. Also, don't expect to use it with a smart home device like the Amazon Echo or Google Home. The speakers quickly go into a low-power mode, and take several seconds to wake up, causing you to miss the first few seconds of a response. And there is no way to alter this behavior. Such a obvious design oversight really makes me lose confidence in B&O.
