" ... the small "-" button to turn down the volume came off in the first 10 min of using it. ... "
" ... This last month it has to be plugged in to charge and none of the volume buttons work. ... "
" ... It was horrible it started to turn off when you where playing music. ... "
" ... I do wish it had buttons on it that would allow skipping to the next song, so that I don’t have to touch my phone when wet (although it’s waterproof too, I try not to). ... It only has volume buttons, play/stop, and a Bluetooth button. ... "
