" ... E5 speaker is by far one of my favorite Alexa enabled speaker. ... I love Alexa device, and I own most of them, but this one is my favorite, the sound quality can’t be matched for this price. ... The speaker is super easy to use and setup, just download the app, and follow the screen instructions, I’m very tech savvy, so it took me like 2 minutes to setup, but I wouldn’t see it taking any longer than 5-10 minutes for others. ... "
" ... The setup was very, very simple, download the app, enter your wi-fi information, and press a button on the back of the speaker, then boom, all done, took no longer than 5 minutes to setup. ...

" ... Down from every guitar pluck to every bass drum, this speaker really produces clean audio at all frequencies and is super nice to listen to. ... As many other reviewers have mentioned, the speaker is definitely bass heavy (as in without any changes, the low's are the most prevalent). ... If you're someone who loves EDM/house music and prefers a more bass heavy feel, then you'd love this speaker right out of the gate. ... For everyone else, the flexible treble and bass knobs allow you to find the perfect mix of clefs and match your preferences to your music choices. ... "
" ... Haven't tested all the features but it's ok. Not in Bose league when it comes to bass. ... "

" ... The Alexa compatibility is a big selling point. ... I love my Echo and Dots, but this GGMM E5 not only runs Alexa, but is also much, much more stylish and portable than those devices: with a fully charged battery and a sturdy strap, I can easily move the GGMM E5 around the house or outside while I'm doing yard work or sitting out by the pool - anywhere the wifi reaches. ... "
" ... The app is great and I was very happy with the content in the app, I'm glad it's not a useless settings app taking up space on my phone. ... Weel the problem was fixed within a couple days and I've been able to log into Amazon Alexa just fine and now this speaker is so much fun to use! ... "
