I had ordered these and received a broken passive speaker in my first box.  After contacting Mackie's technical support and, speaking with a very helpful tech guy, I sent the whole package back to amazon for a replacement.  The replacement works fantastic!  The sound is incredible for my small area.  So clear and full in sound.

I love it! I bought this recently to replace my base sound card and the sound is definitely great! The bass on this really kicks. At this price, it's definitely a bargain. The CD that comes with it does not have Windows 10 drivers though, so simply go to their site to download.

This speaker is amazing!  I can't believe how good it sounds considering it's size.  It has tons of bass, and the mid and high ends sound great, too.  This weeks great with the Soundcast Wireless transmitter if you want to send whatever music is playing on your home stereo to the outside.  It's much easier than wiring the whole damn house, and I can take it with me if I ever move!

This is a follow-up to a previous review that I am now unable to find.  I received this speaker once already but had to return it because it wasn't working correctly.  Most likely because it was defective.  I wrote a 2 star review because of that and the seller's immediately made contact with me and fixed the problem right away.  First I was re-imbursed by Amazon and the seller's replaced the defective speaker without issue.  It showed up in a timely manner and it works fantastic.  It puts out a good sound and has some good distance to it as well.  I'm very impressed, mostly with their service but with the speaker also.  I would recommend this to anyone looking for a small portable bluetooth speaker.

Great sound for such a small speaker!! Our family has really been enjoying it. We had a rare incident where the charging port went bad. I called Anker customer service and they sent me a brand new replacement speaker. Excellent!!

Wow! Our headphones broke after a few uses, so I wrote to Califone and asked for a replacement, and they are arranging to send me one right away. I'm impressed!

This little speaker rocks!  The sound is amazing for the size.  And it has fairly intense bass.  Sounds like a mini boombox.  The bluetooth works spot on, and connects with your device quickly.  I am truly amazed at the sound that comes out of this little box.  I get even more from this speaker by placing it inside a medium sized clay flower pot, which has been turned on its side.  It magnifies the sound.  Try placing yours in different places to boost the sound.

I purchased this little speaker and it continues to amaze me every time I use it. It has tremendous sound performance. I use it with my laptop and my android phone with bluetooth mostly for convenience to not have to wire up and carry my large outdoor speaker, which this has made completely obsolete. My husband was astounded when he realized where my music was coming from the first time he saw it! I have gone as far as 150 feet from the source and it holds the signal. I intend to purchase several for fantastic gifts. You'll love it!!!

Purchased this on a flash sale but am so happy.  Was looking for a solution to replace our kitchen radio with something smaller.  Sound is really tremendous considering size. Additionally the range of the Bluetooth range is also impressive.  I have had no trouble adjusting songs or volume from the next room.  I highly recommend.

I purchased two of these to link together and one of them would not turn on even after charging all night. The other one sounds fantastic and just works. I shipped the defective one back and ordered another as I was loving the one that worked. Amazon refunded my money the next day and I received the replacement within 3 days. It came almost fully charged and It just worked; like the other speaker.

They pair simply (hold BT button down on either one for 2 seconds and they pair with an audible "ding ding"; do this before connecting to any devices) and are then seen as one speaker by your device. Play/pause on either works for both as does the volume. Also, when they are paired, turning one off turns them both off, though you have to turn both on individually. Once both are on, however, they auto-pair and are good to go in a total of 5 seconds.

I hang them from my belt (each speaker comes with a wrist cord and carabiner) and cruise the city on my Electric Unicycle. They are waterproof and can handle a scuff or two. They come with 3.5" stereo cables and a jack next to the micro USB recharge port, If using this method, they unpair and only the one that has the 3.5mm jack plugged in will be used.
I am thinking of mounting them under my electric skateboard (hence why I invested in this thin-ish profile). Imagine FIVE iPhone 5's stacked on top of each other and that's pretty much this speaker's dimensions.

I give them 5 stars because defects occur all the time, it's how a company handles the defect that affects their rating. Now, I'm sure it's Amazon that gets credit for the prompt refund and shipment of the speaker, but the product performs better than expected and the service of both companies during this purchase earns them both a 5 star rating from me.

Hope this helps, and no, I'm not paid to say any of that. This is my honest review. =8-

UPDATE: The replacement speaker works beautifully. They pair automatically when turned on and I just go. I HIGHLY recommend these speakers. They are, by far, the best sound quality I have found for the size and price point.

If you can only afford one, get one now and you can always add a second later.

Perfectly tuned and sounds incredible right out of the box!

Simply Awesome. I was surprised at the weight of this thing but as soon as I got it home I opened up the box, pressed the power button, and immediately paired to my Samsung S5.  The bass is wicked awesome for a small device. The sound is beautiful.

UPDATE 1/19/17:  Gave the original to my wife and purchased another one for myself. You simply cannot beat the sound that comes out of this tiny thing!

I was amazed at the great sound & ease of setup of this small, but powerful speaker. I mainly use it to listen to music while in the shower, but threw it in my car when my CD player died. I have a small house, but a large yard. This speaker got reception more than 100' down my driveway! I'm very impressed with it! Thank you!

Boy, the sound of this in a small living room is fantastic!  There is nothing at all fancy about this system - just a couple little speakers bare-wired into the sub with spring clips, with volume, bass, and treble adjustments.  But - the sound sets it apart from my Polk bookshelf speakers.  It's bright, with pretty decent watts behind it if you want it.

Don't get this for options, it's only good for plain old sound.  You can definitely hook up a bluetooth adapter to play from your phone, Echo, or whatever (or get the BT version of the Laut) and one other audio source, because it has 2 sets of RCA jacks for input but no headphone jack or aux input.

I can't believe the sound that comes from this little guy! I would have been happy if it were half as good as it is, but I'm thrilled! It has the option to string a bunch together for even better sound, too. I showed my boyfriend, who loves music and is in a band, and he loved the audio quality too. Great for watching movies on his laptop!

This is the 5th sound brick I have purchased -- one for me and the rest as very well-received gifts.  This one was for my brother but we ended up using the inout/output attachment from the headphone jack of a very tinny-sounding TV to the output speaker jack.  Now the TV sounds great! This little device is amazing - spectacular sound quality and easy to use and keeps the charge for a very long time.
