Great then dead

I had to update my review. I have used this device maybe 4 or 5 times. He suddenly passed out. After charging, only the red power LED lights up, no reaction. The power buttons don't work and it just freezes or is broken. I followed the reset instructions in the manual but it didn't help. I am very disappointed as I liked the size and functionality.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Expensive

Misleading product

Product was not brand new as advertised! It was so covered in dirt, including dirt in the speaker holes, that the sound was distorted. The black plastic has scratches and dents from use and the lanyard is missing. It also didn't come with instructions or the white box it comes in in stores. We bought it direct from Best Buy so we know what this product should have been like.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Negative gift

WON'T KEEP ANY MORE CHARGES Waste of money

I've had this device for about a year and a half. I took care of it. I only use it at home and it's only in the last few months of the year that I've started using it regularly, probably 3-4 times a week. It no longer holds a charge. I turn it on and off immediately. It started failing about two months ago when the color change feature stopped working, so I know it took longer to determine if it was even on, but it doesn't matter, it still worked. Pasta in two days came to complete shit! Save…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Neutral

Never connects. Buy something else!

At first we really liked this speaker. Good sound quality, good battery life, very good backlight. However, in the last 6 months it has become impossible to connect it with Bluetooth. Another reviewer wrote about how to solve this problem, but this process only works 50% of the time. The rest is spent turning it on and off, pressing the + buttons, pressing the bluetooth button, unplugging it from the iPhone and then plugging it back in only to have to go through the whole process a few times…

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • New competitors appeared

You won't regret it

I bought this refurbished item for $20 about 18 months ago and it was probably the best $20 I've ever spent. I take it everywhere I hear it when I'm getting ready for work, when I'm in the shower, when I'm cleaning while I'm cooking. I heard it in the car when I hit a pothole at 80mph and my stereo broke. I've taken it on camping trips, fishing trips, and camping trips. It's small, light and portable, yet powerful. It connects flawlessly and automatically to my phone every time. The battery…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Security

How to fix freezing

So I had a red light of doom. I let it die, charged it which made it turn back on, but from then on it was flashing red and blue and wouldn't connect to my phone. I called ihome support and here's what we did to get it working. press +- at the same time until you hear a beep2. turn it off and on again. 3. Press the Bluetooth button on your phone for a few seconds. At this point it still wasn't connected to my phone so I went into my phone and forgot the device in bluetooth settings, repeated…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Protection

DEFECTIVE After 3 months

The sound quality is so-so. When it worked I used it to listen to music on my phone. The sound was better than many small ones like this one. It wobbles wildly when the phone is more than a few feet away, which made me doubt its usefulness. Now it does not turn off and does not light up! I noticed that the battery drained very quickly even though I switched off the device after use. It turns out he's staying. The switch is clearly off, but the red light at the top is lit and my phone's sounds…

Pros
  • Not cheap, but decent
Cons
  • Nothing
