update - now gives 4 stars after taking it on a hike. Works better than expected around the campfire. I recommend! Summary: This product is not very good in its main function as Bluetooth speaker, but I still plan to keep it to enjoy the lighting effects. It was a rare impulse buy for me. Bought to take hikes and stay on the picnic table at night for ambience. The lighting effect is very pleasant and is accentuated by the cross pattern of the sphere. The individual LEDs inside appear less "glowing" and more grainy than in the pictures. I'm not great with videos, but I've tried to capture what I'm talking about here. However, it produces a beautiful fiery glow from a distance and a beautiful reflection/glow from the surface it sits on. I wasn't expecting great sound and my expectations were met. The sound isn't great and better matches a much cheaper Bluetooth speaker. But that's not why I bought the device. Build Quality/Materials: I haven't tested the battery yet, but if it lasts longer than it takes to charge, it should be fine for my use. The handle is made of soft, flexible plastic. The glossy plastic on the top of the sphere scratches easily and is very sensitive to fingerprints and dirt. The speaker grille on top is metal, but the chrome strip is plastic. All buttons are hidden under a rubber ring around the speaker. You have to press pretty hard to activate the buttons. Annoyance: Volume up/down buttons are shared with forward/backward. And the volume requires a long press, otherwise it will jump. I understand that my use case may differ from others, but I would prefer the scope to be primary rather than secondary. This problem is so frustrating that I don't really plan to use the speaker on this device.
