Review on ION Slam Bluetooth Speaker Black by Tai Waldbillig

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Really good for $80

I think the negative reviews on here are a little worse than they seem. I find this device works very well. It's lightweight, easy to use. Sounds decent. It has a small woofer. That means it delivers decent bass. But it's not a sub, so don't expect it to be. You can improve bass response by placing it on different surfaces. The harder the surface, the better the bass reproduction. Bluetooth connectivity is easy as pie. One note: when connected to a bluetooth device it sounds better and with a wired connection it sounds smooth. The battery life is not exactly 30 hours as claimed. But it's better than my Bose Mini Sound Link by about 5 hours. So, 25 hours at moderate volume is pretty decent for my book. The included microphone is fine. although it's ok. You literally have to press it to your lips for it to pick up your voice. FM radio is ok. without antennas, which would make AM almost impossible. Also, it consumes a lot of battery in radio mode.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Mostly good but...
