Great speaker!!  I use it daily and throw it on my suitcase whenever I travel. Best big sound quality I've been able to find in a speaker this size.

If you are looking for a wireless speaker for yourself or as a gift, your search has ended here.  As I type out this review I am listening to some of the best sounding music a Bluetooth device delivers.  I have already used every Bluetooth device I have and this speaker has flawlessly connected to each one and the sound....oh the sound! I can't believe my iPad sounds this good...and it's really the speaker!

Now here is a really awesome feature, if you happen to be using your mobile device and get a phone call, this bad boy actually connects your call and your call comes through the speaker! When your call is done and disconnects it picks the music back up seamlessly.  Never have to touch a single button at all and your music experience continues as if nothing interrupted you.

I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review, and that is what I am providing. I have NOT been paid for this review, and in most cases, the discount is nominal. I will never shy away from listing negatives about products just because I received a discount; usually, I choose products that I am interested in trying already, and check out the reviews ahead of time to ensure it's something I will probably like, so many of my reviews are positive as a result of careful selection upfront, not because my positive reviews have been "bought" in any way. If there are negatives I notice about a product, you better bet I will list them!

I honestly would pay double for this quality!  This speaker comes with a cool case to keep it dust-free when not in use.  This is a steal of a deal and I think I am going to get a few more of these.

I absolutely love this speaker; best one I've had yet. The sound is perfectly clear, even on the highest setting, and the added bass is phenomenal. The bluetooth connected almost as soon as I turned it on, and it doesn't have any problem with staying connected, even if I leave the room with my phone, which seems to be a problem with some speakers. Although I had some issues with my local post office refusing to deliver it on time, and lying about doing so, Amazon was quick to respond to my concerns, and even gave me a full refund, while also allowing me to keep the speaker when it finally did come. Overall, this speaker is perfect for anyone who wants big sound on a small speaker - lightweight and small enough to carry around. I highly recommend this speaker to anyone and everyone.

I got this speaker after reading several reviews on Amazon and other pro-audio web sites, some of which were negative because of the feature set, set-up process and price. Boy were they wrong and I am ecstatic with the purchase. I have used and/or owned wireless Bluetooth speakers by Bose and others. What makes this speaker the best that exists is its ease of use, sound and portability. First off, it was super easy to pair with both my iPhone and Androide with no problems. Joining my home wifi network was also very easy (I have a Linksys WRT1900AC router) and took only minutes (it is 2.4ghz compatible). It fully charged within 90 minutes (and yes, contrary to some other reviews, the speaker displays charge level on the top of the speaker). It is very light (I have rib injuries and it was easy to move with the built in handle). I used it with Pandora streaming audio, Youtube videos, and music on my home network, both inside my home and in my back yard. The range is awesome with the B... Read more

We purchased two of these Philips Wireless Speakers with AirPlay. My husband had them set up and working within minutes of opening the box. I had no idea how much I was going to enjoy them! I love how easy it is to use my iPhone, select the song(s) I want to play, and then have the sound coming from these speakers! I had no idea how easy it would be. I think I love the speakers more than my husband! I highly recommend them. They have great sound! We put one speaker in the kitchen and purchased a second for the living room. Such a great buy!

Before getting into this review, I have to say that I've used several speakers like this - and this one sounds fantastic!

On top of the excellent sound:

1) The Qi charging dock is extremely convenient!

It truly is an exceptional idea to merge a Qi charger with a speaker like this.  The speaker will run for hours on its own battery power, and I can simply sit it on the dock to get it charged.  It can also play while sitting on the dock.

I've also used it with a Galaxy S6 Edge, as well as a Galaxy S5 with a&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Qi-Receiver-Card/dp/B00F3J2KNI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Qi Receiver Card</a>.  One of my favorite uses for the Qi charger is to sit my phone on it while working out and listening to music or audio books.  That way my phone is fully charged when my workout is done.

2) The battery life is excellent!  This speaker will go a full day on a single charge - and then I just sit it back on the dock to charge it up again.

3) The speaker looks great.

4) The pause button on top of the speaker works well, and it's perfect for quickly pausing music without having to use the phone.

5) The NFC pairing worked great with my Android phones.

This is the only speaker I've found with this combination of features, and it works great!

Unfortunately, there are some quirky problems:

1) The power button for the speaker is on the back, and you have to hold it for a bit for it to turn on or off.  Oddly enough, there is another power button on the dock, and the 2 power buttons have some weird interactions.

For example: if you turn the dock off while the speaker is docked, the lights on the speaker stay on indefinitely.  If, on the other hand, I turn the dock off and then place the speaker on it, the lights never turn on.

Honestly, it's just weird to have to deal with 2 power buttons - and I think it would make more sense to have no power button on the dock (like most Qi chargers).

2) The lights on the dock won't turn off if the device is turned off on the dock.  As a result, it's irritating to leave it docked in my room at night without removing it from the dock first.  That's too bad since it would be convenient to let it charge overnight...

At the end of the day, I would definitely recommend this speaker!  I do think there is room for improvement; but, right now I think this is the best device of this type on the market.

Not very tech savvy, wanted wireless speakers to listen to podcasts, music, and streaming radio away from my laptop across the house, and hit a home run with this. Simple and easy to connect. Blew me away on both volume and sound quality. Rarely do I get a product that so significantly exceeds my expectations in both ease of set up and quality for the price. May be the coolest product I've ever bought for the price = 10 Stars!

In love!! I have been holding out on buying this speaker for years now. I had been using a jawbone jambox for about 3 years and just last week it fell into the pool! I knew exactly was speaker to purchase next as this speaker has been on my wish list forever! I'm so happy I splurged and bought this one. The sound is amazing, and having used the jambox for years I noticed a difference the second I turned the soundlink on. Everything about it is fantastic. The sound, the look, the size and weight. I haven't tested out the battery life just yet though. If your thinking of getting this speaker just do it. Don't settle for a cheaper wireless speaker like I did years ago.

Must say that this is one of the most amazing speakers that one can buy in the Bluetooth wireless range. Sturdy, waterproof and compact. Feels solid but looks classy. Sound quality and volume is really good even without the power being connected. Very good bass and treble. NFC syncing was just as simple as a tap. No issues at all for iPad, nexus 7 and Blackberry Z10 to connect. I love it. Looking at reviews of other speakers including Bose and Sony, this one seems to be simply the best.

Very Nice Well Made Wireless Speaker with Great Connectivity via WIFI and Bluetooth! Easy Setup with Denon X4300H receiver and Android phone. Wife likes it for the kitchen and bath. We will use it on the patio as well in summer months. Amazon provided a Great Sale Price and Fast Shipment.

Thanks to everyone who posted such great reviews of this product.  I just received it today, and I am so impressed with this speaker.  I had a little trouble setting it up, because I always have setup problems with mechanical things, and Monster's tech service was terrific.  After charging it completely, the sound is just remarkable.  I'm a musician. and my ears are very critical when it comes to speakers, and this is so clear.  The sound is plenty loud for my house.  The clarity of sound is what really gets me.  I have tried other wireless bluetooth speakers that are much more expensive, and this one is as good if not better.  So glad I purchased this and would do so again.  Will update this review after using it for a longer time.

Update:  I love this speaker!  and my friend who heard the quality just purchased one, too.  Highly recommend this product and company...

Update:  7/9/14  I have been using this speaker for two years now, and it is still terrific.  I love the sound quality, and it works just as well as when I bought it.

Sound is great on these speakers!  LOVE that they are wireless, and I can pick up phone calls while out walking!  Very easy to use.  Bought a pair for my brother and for myself.  Now my 12 year old wants her own pair.  :)

Great speaker! I was looking for a powerful bluetooth speakers couple of days. And there are many dual 3W speakers on the market. For the same price, I hunted this one, dual speakers with 5W. Sound was OMG so amazing - high volume and high quality sounds. Very surprise on the working range, about 30 feet, even I walk on the garden, it still powerful to listen. But there is a bit shame, I can't find any power indication, OK that is not a big deal, without that, I still can play it about whole day, no die. Lovely gadget! I will buy it again

I did extensive homework before I purchased a wireless speaker.  I looked at many reviews, went to see several products, and then bought this one without actually seeing it based on reputable reviews.  I have been VERY pleased with this product.  It is larger than what I wanted, but the sound is very good.  I have used it inside and outside, and  both have great sound.  It is easy to pair with phones and iPads.  It stays charged for long periods of time, and I really like that I can charge my phone on it while I am playing music from my phone.  Totally worth the price and the sound quality is similar to the Jawbone and Bose systems.

Hey ! This the review : I absolutely love this amp! I recently had an event at my home and found it very difficult to use wireless speakers for my guest. The wireless speaker sounded muffled , would go in and out of range for whatever reason. When I purchased this product was comfortable with the fact I can use my old Sony speakers that sound clear and loud. Such a difference this product made for my event and the guest loved the fact they can switch music play lists from their  phones!  Did I mention its battery powered! Great Product
