" ... This is a very nice portable Bluetooth speaker it is loud and has good overall sound quality and good bass. ... I also have the older oontz angle and it also has a good sound quality but has nowhere near the volume, base and clarity that the angle 3XL has. ... "

" ... I first purchased one speaker and it sounded great, but I wanted stereo , so purchased a 2nd speaker, and they really hit the spot ! ... "

" ... The sound is good, the bass is decent if a little bit hollow, but not bad at all. ... It is more a mild annoyance than anything, and they are resilient with just one speaker connected to source. ... Otherwise, great speakers. ... "

" ... We really like this, sounds great for a wide varity of genres, electronic, rock, latin. ... My poor stereo system has not been used in months because it's so handy and such good sound. ... "

" ... I definitely recommending getting 2 but 1 can also get the job. ... If battery life was a little longer, Bluetooth was 5.0, and bass lows were stronger, than this would be the perfect speaker. ... "

" ... I'm very pleased with this portable speaker. ... "

" ... Combine this with good EQ settings and it's competitive with more expensive, high-end speakers. ... Compared to a JBL extreme, this might not be as good sound-quality wise, but when I can buy 2 or 3 for about the same price as one of those Extremes WITHOUT the battery problems of the Extreme (check those customer reviews on Amazon) AND the ability for those 2 speakers to connect together and double your volume, it's a no-brainer for me! ... "

" ... They sound good, but my wife always tells me to turn it down. ... "

" ... Bought this for my daughter in college, who wanted something for their apartment that could get fairly loud, but was portable. ... That being said, this Oontz speaker was quite impressive, loud, and clean. ... "

" ... I love this product it's loud and lightweight ... "

" ... "It's an Oontz, ya know Oontz Oontz Oontz . ... "

" ... In its price range this is a great little speaker ... "

" ... I like how loud and portable it is. ... "

" ... Stands up to its standards, the speaker can fill a warehouse with crystal clear music. ... "

" ... Great sound decent volume without breaking the bank! ... "

" ... If you are looking for a affordable portable speaker then this is the one . ... "

" ... The bass is great on this speaker. ... "

" ... I turned it on and let my spotify roll and it picked up all the bass and beats from my songs being played. ... "

" ... You've got four front-facing speakers (including 2 tweeters) and side bass ports, truly amazing amount of electronics packed into a box the size of a loaf of bread. ... The bass and mids are tight and definitely there, seems in that "just right" zone, can fill a living room with good sound. ... "

" ... The sound is clear and crisp, note Bass lovers look elsewhere, even though this speaker boasts 3 passive bass radiators, the bass is extremely weak and if you switch it to outdoor mode the bass completely fades away to nothing. ... Mids and highs sound great, I just wish it had a little more bass oomph to it, don't get me wrong it does have some bass, just not nearly enough. ... If you don't like Bass, this speaker sounds great, for me for a #100 speaker, I would at least have expected something better than the very weak bass response this speaker has. ... "

" ... Nice speaker good bass you have a lot of choices for speakers out there , good price good sound ... "

" ... The base wasn't what I wanted for the thunder so i upgraded. ... "

" ... Sound quality is great and bass is great. ... I downloaded a bass booster app that has equalizer settings and a bass boost option. ... If you find the sound lacking or want to kick up the bass even more I'd recommend that. ... "

" ... The OONTZ was incredibly better in terms of overall volume and base. ... "

Battery

" ... Battery lasts a good long time, only downside is that it is fairly large but well worth it. ... "

" ... The speaker charges by using a corded brick power unit and ROUND connector! ... Instead of being able to connect a 10,000 mAh PB to keep the speaker powered for a longer time period, I have to have it near a power outlet. ... you can replace the internal battery should it wear out or go bad!!! ... "

" ... For the cost of a new battery and repair on the Bose I could buy the Oontz speaker! ... "

" ... I can't talk about the battery cause I just get this just yesterday, but sound ways they great. ... "

" ... You’ll find reviews comparing it to well known speakers like the JBL Charge or Bose Soundlink Mini II as well as a few other lesser known speakers such as the DOSS Soundbox XL, Tronsmart Mega, or Anker Soundcore Motion+. ... "

" ... Another plus is that the battery is replaceable. ... "

" ... If I had one improvement for this speaker, I would ask for more battery life. ... I wanna enjoy this thing longer than 8 hr battery life allows me to haha. ... "

" ... Excellent speaker for the price and he batteries last a long time. ... "

" ... this is the best bluetooth speaker ... "

" ... I've purchased several Oontz bluetooth speakers and this one is just as high quality as the others and is as good as I hoped. ... "

" ... It will meet or likely surpass your expectations from a portable Bluetooth speaker. ... "

" ... It paired quickly to my phone and was super simple to use. ... "

" ... It can also be utilized as a high qualiy potable bloothtooth speaker for all appropriate devices. ... "

" ... For pairing bluetooth speakers, you want them to pair left/right channel, with an option to split the speakers for full sound (no left/right), for placing indoors and outdoors for instance. ... "

" ... Got two and pair them together through blue tooth for stereo. ... "

" ... The only minus is that their is not a handle or a way to carry the speaker comfortable when moving it from one location to another. ... "

" ... I keep the OontZ Angle 3 as it's smaller size makes it more practical to travel with. ... "

" ... We actual own one in every size. ... "

" ... Great sound portable easy to use ... "

" ... I love the sound quality of this speaker for the weight and size of it. ... "

" ... Believe it or not , totally portable D.J. ... "

" ... Another bonus is that you can answer your iPhone with it and I did. ... "

" ... Easy to sync up to Bluetooth, I walk around the house with it as needed. ... "

" ... - Bluetooth automatically reconnect to Google Home Hub on startup ... "

" ... We enjoy the fact that we can hook up very easily on Bluetooth and stream to our TV for movies and TV programming without any wires. ... "

" ... A half hour later and I finally connect all three together (2 speakers and the Oontz Bluetooth adaptor from the tv) to find I now have no control over the volume other then walking over to each one and counting the clicks made by manually raising or lowering the volume so I have a smart remote to my Samsung TV and see if I can attach it to the speakers but to no avail. ... If you want a great speaker to set on a table for listening to music these are perfect but need upgraded Bluetooth to 5.0 to be up to date but any other use is not recommended due to severe limitations on a speaker that at that price should have been standard options. ... "

" ... I’ve downloaded my music list on a tiny Ruizu MP3 which has worked out nice. ... The Bluetooth does work great with my Ipad. ... "

" ... After trying several Bluetooth speakers for my music classroom, none of which were adequate, I finally stumbled on this one. ... "

" ... I use it to play music on my phone and an Echo Dot (for much improved quality). ... "

Sound / Frequencies

" ... I downloaded a bass booster app that has equalizer settings and a bass boost option. ... "

" ... Mids and highs sound great, I just wish it had a little more bass oomph to it, don't get me wrong it does have some bass, just not nearly enough. ... Basically great for listening to voices, for example podcasts and music that does not use many low frequencies. ... "

" ... You’ll need to use the equalizer to get the most out of it. ... "

" ... The highs n mids are clear n crisp and to brighten it up further use an EQ. ... "

" ... Combine this with good EQ settings and it's competitive with more expensive, high-end speakers. ... "

" ... Loudness was pretty similar, and the mid and highs were really clean and punchy, just like the Jambox, but I think the Oontz had a little more bass. ... "

" ... 3) Mids and highs are superb and revealing, and make the speaker even at lower volumes a stellar performer, and exactly what my wife was looking for. ... "

" ... Also with the EQ ap in the photo you can save multiple settings to match the genre of music that you're listening to at the time. ... "

" ... Other than that this speaker for the price will in my eyes and ears easily outperform a Bose or UE any day in sound quality and bass. ... "

" ... It's not too big or heavy, easy to grab with one hand but you can't use it standing on end like other models. ... "

" ... Bigger than many of the chargeables but it's still pretty small, easy to carry in one hand. ... "

" ... A removable handle or strap would make them a bit more portable. ... "

" ... Tey sre indeed accurate enough (and I believe my ears are up to the task of being accurate in this as well :-) ... "

" ... Oontz twisted my arm with a 40.00 off coupon for a pair, so I jumped on it. ... "

" ... Things to consider: Because of its shape and size, it's a bit hard to get a good grip with one hand, especially if you have smaller hands, and the passive drivers on the ends are vulnerable, so I would strongly recommend getting one of the fitted cases if you are taking it traveling. ... "
