Weirdest electronic device I own

This device is so weird. Pros: - Good sound quality - Good battery life - Small size Cons: - The power button is crazy. There's almost no tactile feedback, so you're never sure if you're actually pressing it or not. The switch-on time is completely variable, from 4 to 8 seconds. You just hold down the button, wait for the little blue light to come on, and wonder if you're actually pressing the button. The charging port isn't micro-USB like almost every other USB powered device on the market, so you'll have to manage a disposable cable for this device. For some reason the device turns off when you charge it. This prevents you from leaving it plugged in all the time, which means you have to keep track of when you need to charge it. It s cheap. Every time I press the power button, I hear the seams of the device creaking and groaning. It's just the dumbest Bluetooth device I have. My phone's receiver talks to me, telling me when it's going to turn on or off, what the charge level is, etc. The setting in my snowboard helmet is smart enough to distinguish between music and a phone call. Even the base station for my wireless headphones knows when music is coming through them and when not. This little device has absolutely no intelligence. As long as it's connected to one of your devices, it just stays on and drains the battery whether it's actually being used or not. I cannot recommend this device to anyone. There are much better and more advanced products in this price range.

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Some little things
