Review on Azpen A770 Boombox With Tablet Dual 5 Watts Bluetooth Speakers HD Display 16GB Storage And 8 Hour Battery (Silver) by Jason Arkin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A great idea. - Portable audio and video

As a concept, this speaker was a great idea. I saw it and decided it would be great to have on my patio. When it arrived and I saw it in person, I said, Great! This is exactly what I needed. Anyway, that's where the fun ended. Don't get me wrong, this is still a pretty good speaker. Sounds good, looks good and overall I'm satisfied. The problem is, it's SLOW! I mean Lednikovo slowly. I say, trying to load a computer from the early 90's slowly. I'm talking about the accidental exit from the AOL ecosystem in the 90's. (If any of you are old enough to remember these things, you will realize how painfully slow I speak here.) Either way, if you have the patience to wait for it to boot up and work, you will you have a good time speakers. Your hands that can do so much more than your regular Bluetooth speaker. Too bad they didn't update the store. It just doesn't seem like it adds much to the cost. I would happily pay $10 or $20 more for a better user experience. But once you install the app you want, it works great. Just don't think that you're going to switch from Pandora to iheart to saved music the usual way. Don't even get me started on Facebook! lol. But don't be afraid to buy this speaker, for the money it's not bad. I just want it to go faster.
