Upon initial inspection, this little speaker seems to be pretty solid and well made.  I was a little nervous purchasing it as there are a lot of speakers on Amazon, and I hadn't really heard of this company before, but based on other reviews that people left (and a little internet research) I went ahead and made the purchase.  So far I have been quite pleased with my purchase, the sounds quality has been quite good whether I am when streaming music from my iPod and while watching movies on my tablet, and the volume has been rather impressive given the size (and I haven't really noticed much distortion at higher volumes, which is nice).  About the only thing that I could think of to make this better would be if it had an attachment point for a lanyard to make carrying it a little easier.

Looks like a very solid and well manufactured product. It address very well what its was built for including the flexibility to wire the speaker cable

Its a solid starter speaker when in a jam.  The plug in cord length is so short that it limits your listening options but the sound is more than what I was expecting. Also , the battery life is solid.

Great sounding and well made little speaker. I put this in my 2003 jeep Sahara. Installation took a little inginuity, but in the end I'm satisfied. Great value for the price. I'd buy again.

The Mini Speaker is a powerful little speaker. It produces very good sound at a solid volume without a lot of distortion throughout the range of volume. That said, it is a small speaker and only marginally better sounding than your phone speaker (in my case an iPhone 6plus).

The speaker is lightweight but feels durable to the touch. It is well designed in that the cable fits neatly and tightly into the designed slot. It is important to note that this sin NOT a blue tooth speaker, it requires you to plug into your phone's headphone jack.

The speaker is quick to charge, out of the box it took about an hour to fully charge with the supplied Micro USB connector cable plugged into my computer. I played music and used it as a speaker phone attachment for more than four hours and it took about 30 minutes to fully charge again. There was no real need to charge but I just wanted to see how long it would take.

I also played music in the kitchen of my house and walked to the back bedroom which is about 40' away and went inside and with the volume all the way up could still understand all the words in the lyrics, that isn't the case for sure of my phone speaker alone. I did back it off slightly from max volume because it sounded slightly "tinny" at the max volume. Also, the light on the speaker is an afterthought, it is probably not as bright as the light already on your phone so it only has marginal usefulness. Those two items are the reason that I gave this a 4 rather than 5 star rating. However, it isn't enough to be worried about in a speaker of this class.

As other reviewers have mentioned, the buttons are very insensitive so you'll need to push hard and hold them down to get them to come on ... but I don't see that as a negative rather I see it as positive. If you were going to keep this in a bag or connected to the outside of a bag if they were not fairly difficult to turn on and off they would end up turned on and the battery would regularly run out.

Overall I think this little speaker is a very good value and has many great uses. It is going to be a permanent fixture in my computer bag. I'm going to buy another one for my 11 year old daughter as well.

Very nice little Bluetooth speaker.  We're taking this on vacation since our chrome-book is not very loud (and we can keep the T3 close by our heads).  This little speaker can get quite loud, with enough fidelity that it's not objectionable--bear in mind this is a very small speaker so I can't fault it at all.  My only "ding" is that a small LED lights when it's being recharged...but, once it's fully charged there's no LED indicating this.  It would have been nice if it showed solid green (or something) when connected to a charger AND when fully charged.  Another (again very minor) suggestion is to elaborate on the "L3" name that is displayed when looking at a list of Bluetooth devices.  I have a couple of other "cryptic" devices (like "L1") which doesn't help to identify the device.  Suggest something like "T3 Speaker"....

The little speaker compresses into a small ball and the wire tucks away in a channel.  The sound from it is decent considering how small it is.  It keeps charge and can actually play for several hours.  With the volume up on the higher end, the bass could kick the light weight speaker up causing it to bounce on a solid surface like a table.  I recommend putting it on a book or something softer to absorb some of the bounce.

I picked up this item after seeing a promotion for it on an Android user forum. I'd been looking for a reasonable quality one-piece speaker at a good price, and this fit the bill. The cute design was also a plus, as I (correctly) guessed that the kids I'm around would get a kick out of it.

When it arrived the first surprise -- after the speedy delivery -- was the good build quality. Honestly, I was rather expecting a cheap, hollow body with a tinny speaker tossed inside, but this little droid is solid! There's nary a rattle when shaken and the movable arms easily hold their positions. It's got some weight to it.

The design is simple but efficient. The two speakers are visible behind a plastic grill on the back, with the passive bass coming from another grill on the bottom. There's a small volume control on the back, along with an on/off switch labeled "Awake/Sleep." When switched on small blue bulbs light in its eyes; the eyes glow purplish/red when it's in charging mode. There's a retractable mini-jack audio cable which tucks away in the back, with the micro-USB charging port behind it. It's simple and straightforward enough that it doesn't need instructions, but it comes with a first-person message from the droid telling you how to charge him and take care of him. It's cute without being too horribly twee.

Soundwise, the quality is good, and a step above what you'd expect from a product in this range. I've used it in conjunction with my Kindle Fire and my Nexus S 4G, and got good fidelity. Of course it sounded still better when plugged into a laptop, but that's to be expected. I kept the volume at median levels -- I'm not a screaming death metal kind of guy -- and for casual listening, Dave Brubeck, Regina Spektor, and Moon Wiring Club all sounded great, as did podcasts, streaming video, and NPR.

There are two minor deficits to the Pal Bot, however. First, the retractable audio cable is kind of short, only 18" or so. For most purposes that's fine, but when I was watching Fringe on the Fire I would have liked to be able to move it farther from me. That's easily rectified with an audio extension cable, though.

The second is the droid's plastic antennae. They are small pegs inserted into the top of the device at an angle, and sadly, do not take a lot of stress. This little fellow has already had one snap off due to my admitted clumsiness. I'm not sure what could be done to strengthen them, though. Still, if you are planning to carry him in your backpack, I'd pull out the pegs before storing him. They aren't glued in, and are easily removed and replaced.

The Pal Bot is a solid speaker with an eye-catching design, sold and shipped from a company -- Accessory Genie -- that takes customer service seriously. I highly recommend it.

Good sound, good volume level, good battery life.  Overall pleased with this little speaker.  Haven't abused on it too much by getting it wet, dropping it, etc, so I can't speak to the durability, but it looks and feels solid like it would survive some abuse.

This little speaker is larger than life sounding

The sound quality is pretty damn solid so far. We will see how the speakers fare over time as far as longevity is concerned.

Sounds great for a little speaker when you don't want to hook up to a bigger setup

This little speaker is pretty potent for a 10 inch speaker. The cabinet is well constructed and has provisions top and bottom for mounting. This is also one of the few speakers that is made in the USA.

It's quite small, a bit smaller than a tennis ball, and nicely made.  The instructions are sparse, but it's not hard to figure out--the cord on the bottom (3.5mm phone plug) is meant for connecting two or more together from the same source (we don't use it).  The other cord has USB and 3.5mm phone plug for power and audio input respectively.  The battery charged quickly, but since we use it on a laptop, we keep the USB power cord connected and don't know the battery life.  The sound is quite satisfactory--warm and full for such a small speaker.  Most importantly, the sound is clear for speech and not bad for music (much better than the laptop built-in speakers).  I'm satisfied and happy with the purchase.

I was told by a friend that this is a good speaker, so I took his word for it. I was pleasantly surprised when I received it. It is very simple and small, but produces a BIG sound, with a surprising bass as well. I would highly recommend this product

So far, it seems to be pretty solid. My only complaint would be that it is so small that it is difficult to plug in our pull out, especially if you have big fingers and there are other wires and usb devices plugged in nearby that get in the way.

Overall I'm happy with this speaker, the pairing was easy, the material is durable and the sound is decent for the small size. The sound does however lack much base, which is inline with what I would have expected given the small size.

Just a note for anyone that skips reading instructions like me; the volume buttons server dual purpose, a single click advance the song, a long hold turns up the volume.

This product was provided at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.
