Disappointed item for portable bluetooth speaker

the sound quality is great! The problem is in the DC input range, which wears out very quickly. Considering the cost of this item, it would be nice if it lasted longer than 1-1/2 years.

Pros
  • Unique elliptical form factor that raises the bar on style, and weighs just a pound and 7.5 x 3.125 x 2.825 inches, the speaker is little more than a wallet
Cons
  • Long time

Terrible speaker for portable audio and video

This speaker isn't bad, but the company is absolutely terrible. My speaker broke after the one year warranty expired and they wanted nothing to do with it. Terrible service and just one terrible speaker everywhere!

Pros
  • Packed with extra features including 40 hours of battery life, speakerphone with voice caller ID and battery status, pairing with voice confirmation, receiving voice commands, NFC compatibility and power bank for smartphone or other devices.
Cons
  • Good but not great

The quality of the music is great, the only problem I've noticed is that I'm disappointed.

Music quality is great, the only issue I noticed that left me disappointed is that it gets very static and makes a loud buzzing noise when the battery is low or is almost empty. Your music. It only started on the 3rd month of my purchase, if I could return it I would.

Pros
  • Mountable with included bracket
Cons
  • Not bad

Terrible communication Poor customer service

If I could give this product and Altec 0 stars I would. My husband bought me this for Christmas and it wouldn't work more than 6-8 feet from my phone and if something was blocking it it wouldn't work at all. Sent it back to Altec and they took 6 weeks to replace me which is just as bad. They also kept lying around when the replacement was delivered. I would not recommend buying anything from Altec let alone this one.

Pros
  • Resolved
Cons
  • Some issues
