Review on 🔊 Rolton E500 Portable Stereo Bluetooth Speakers with FM Radio, Clear Bass, Dual Track Speaker, TF Card Music Player - Black by Kobby Fairchild

This little Bluetooth speaker has worked great for the first few months we've owned it. Then something crazy happened randomly that made me smash it with a hammer. The good first: cute style, fun color. Good sound quality and easy connection to the smartphone. The radio option was good too after we figured out how to navigate the keyboard. The "woman" has a heavy Asian accent when announcing the speaker's status. The volume control is weak. The flashlight is a nice bonus. I have used it well on hikes etc. We also used the speaker in the car while driving. Works well. Now for the bad: Today, for some reason I couldn't figure out, in the middle of a song (Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag," if you're wondering), he suddenly started howling with that hideous alarm sound -- just a shrill one , sustained BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE who could not be drowned out. (Video attached). There was no way to disable the speaker. Without pressing ON/OFF, without holding ON/OFF - nothing. My ears hurt - I can't even imagine the effect it had on my pets. The battery can't be pulled out so I had to hide it outside in an insulated backyard fridge until the power went out. Even then I was afraid that I would disturb my neighbors. Almost an hour passed before he fell silent. When I plugged it in to charge to test it seemed to go back to normal - the Asian announced "POWER DEVICE BRUE TOOTH" again - but now I'm worried that random ugliness will return while camping or driving. I just have to throw it away or smash it with a rock to make it stop.
