" ... My favorite bluetooth speaker I've ever owned. ... "
" ... Sounds much better than most Bluetooth speakers I’ve purchased from Bose and Beats ... "
" ... Time came to buy yet another Bluetooth speaker. ... I would keep my opinions regarding the shape and size to myself but If I were to recommend a Bluetooth speaker to anyone willing to pay the price it would be HK ONYX (or another version as long as they sound is the same). ... In my humble opinion, with the right EQ settings on the phone/ app it would beat any Bluetooth speaker in its class (I wont make bigger claims despite having a keen sense of hearing and owning some audiophile equipment). ...
