My wife gave me this great portable speaker that I now use with my smart phone to listen to Pandora ... I can now hear jazz all day long if I wish ... and it serves as a speaker for phone calls while in one of my vehicles that does not have Bluetooth ...

PS ... it can be used wireless or you can plug iPOD, etc. into it ...

That's pretty slick, Tony.

Tony, I bought the same type of speaker, I’m loving it. I have played my keyboard through it, no more than fair. But it sounds great for what it was designed.

My iPad and the speaker mate wireless and will play on batteries-- both are very portable. (fun)

Enjoy, John C.

Very cool device, enjoy. Just watched a couple of You Tube reviews, very impressive product.

Interesting comparison, and IMO, the Bose won hands down. Much fuller sound, very rich lows, crystal clear highs, handled the 60hz frequency better, and I thought the vocals were much clearer on the Bose.

Thanks,

Gary

... not surprised at your answer, Gary ... thing is, I'm not doing vocals through it, just playing music from my phone or iPAD and for THAT it sounds GREAT ... plus, I'm not doing a side by side with anything else ...

Tony, for what you use it for, I'm sure it sounds great. I was just listening to the comparison, and while both sounded really good, I still would give the edge to the Bose.
