This is an adorable little Bluetooth speaker. I was able to connect to it right away; it was super easy. It doesn’t get crazy loud, but for the price and size, it’s reasonable volume and sound quality. I use it in my office where I like just a bit of background noise.

I ordered this little thing on a whim because I was looking for something inexpensive to play MP3 music from an old iPod while on a cruise where I will not spring for the internet package. I’m shocked at how well it works. In the Aux mode, I can use the cable provided to connect my iPod. I tried it in the Bluetooth mode at home and it connects quickly to my iPhone, playing either stored or streaming music. The FM Radio mode is a tad complicated to set up, but I eventually got it to work. Plug in the Aux cable and it acts as an antenna. The ‘dial’ on the speaker is actually for volume control, not for station searching. Follow the instructions and the speaker will search for available radio stations. I live in a large metropolitan area (Phoenix) so it found plenty. It will remember the stations, and then you use the left/right arrows to page through until you find something you like. The dial-controlled volume provides plenty of sound while in FM mode and I am amazed at how little distortion occurs at higher volumes. Granted, it’s only a single speaker so you won’t get that surround sound, but it’s better than the speaker on my phone. However, do not rely on just the speaker dial while using your other electronic devices for music. My tip: maximize the volume from your device first, then use the dial on the speaker to control it and you’ll have plenty of sound. I didn’t test how long a battery charge lasts because I can use the charging cable to plug into USB port for power. I can’t wait to take it on my cruise. It’s tiny at 4” x 2.5” x 2” so doesn’t take up much room. That makes it a win-win for me. And it’s cute as a button to boot.

It can fit in the palm of your hand! Its perfect for my office to play music and even take calls through it. It is very easy to function and I adore the retro style. Would make for a cute gift. It's also priced great for its value!

Turn button lights up and I like that it has numbers to show levels on the volume. If you hold the middle button down it activates Bluetooth search. The Bluetooth name that came up got me was J999. Loud enough to hear your music or podcast while you shower.
Lightweight
Cute holding/hanging leather strap

This is a very cool retro looking little radio/speaker. I wouldn't put much faith in the radio, if that's what you're after, better get something else. It's main value is as a speaker, whether for bluetooth, or as I intend to do, load a tf card up with a number of my favorite tunes and just leave it in there for whenever I want to play it. It has a pretty darn good sound for a little speaker and I think the price is reasonable for what it can do. I would recommend it.

This little blue bluetooth speaker sounds really great! I love the vintage old-time radio look. It comes pre-charged so you can use it right out of the box. I like that you can use your phone to check the battery status as not all mini speakers offer that function! The sound is clear and strong. The gold dial adjusts the volume or you can use your phone. It has TF card slot so you can download and play MP3 files but the memory card is not included. It may be small but has quality sound!

This is a very cute mini speaker and the best thing about it is it doesn't just work with Bluetooth. In fact the main reason I got it is because it has an auxiliary port for wired audio. I have an old iPod which is loaded with a ton of music and still works fine but doesn't have Bluetooth so won't work with the Bluetooth only speakers. This speaker - which comes with an audio cord - has literally given my old iPod a new life. The sound quality is quite adequate with good clarity especially on vocals. The backside of the speaker also has a passive diaphragm which I've not seen on other similar speakers. Battery life seems good - out of the box it played for 6 hours before announcing the battery needs to be recharged so should last longer when fully charged.
The only reason I'm not giving it a 5 is because of the somewhat sloppy workmanship - there are some inexplicable scratches on the backside that make the finish look cheap. Otherwise, for the price it's very good value as long as it continues to work.

Smaller than I expected but as cute as it looked online. Will look great on any desk or wherever it’s placed.

This Bluetooth speaker connected easily and played music clearly and with style. The speaker is so small that it's cute and the vintage style really adds a unique experience.
The FM feature turned on and searched but it was static for me since I must not live close enough to whatever it was trying to connect to. Not sure if it is designed to work, but I won't need that feature.
The versatility of music inputs is amazing for this little guy. Slots for TF, USB, Aux, in addition to the Bluetooth which most likely is all I would use it for. Good price, can't go wrong here!

I was surprised how small it is, I guess I was expecting something more the size of a red brick. This thing is more like the size of a really thick deck of playing cards.
The style is retro and I like it. All of the controls are functional too which is pretty cool - 3 buttons along the bottom translate to Backtrack - Play/Pause/Power - Advancetrack. The old analog tuning dial I was pleasantly surprised turned out to be a manual volume control (manual meaning independent from the Bluetooth volume setting).
I was particularly impressed that at this price point it still included an analog stereo line-in port, a USB port and a microsd reader. According to the instructions, the latter two will allow standalone music playback for files on a thumb drive or sd card. I did not try this feature but can imagine the usefulness in situations where say you want elevator music or white noise in a small area and don’t want to have your phone or computer tied up streaming it.
If there is any weak point it is the volume. It really does not get loud. That said, I don’t see that as its intended function - it is a super small personal speaker, meant for an individual or a small group who are relatively close together. It should be perfectly sufficient for personal use at an office desk, a guest table, or in a quiet entryway. If you’re looking to fill a room with music though you should definitely look for something a little bigger.

This speaker is just adorable! It is smaller than I thought, which is why I added a photo with an orange, so you can have a reference. But don't let this stop you from buying this little cutie. It is small, but mighty. I had it charged and synced in no time. Works very well. This radio speaker is made of quality materials - it does not feel toy-like at all - it's a grown up device with so much detail! I love that this brings vintage and modern together. It will sit on one of my built in shelves, no one will even know it's modern technology.

This a great item to gift or just have on you for casual music listening. It's really well made and very cute to look at... almost cartoonish in a good way. And it sounds really good too.. not room shaking sound but definitely surprisingly loud. It also syncs to you local radio stations and that's how I use it most of the time. Battery life is great too... seems to last for days when I listen to it about 20 minutes at a time. I got this purely for its novelty aspect but I'm surprised and how much I like to use this thing. Not bad at all for $17... I might get a few more in each color and place them around in my house.

While this is certainly not a high end speaker, for under $20 it's very impressive! Sitting on a shelf, it looks absolutely adorable. It's overall very lightweight and you can see the rose gold is plastic, but only if you're inspecting it close up. Bluetooth connection with my phone was quick and easy. I compared it with my higher quality, metal mini speaker and the sound holds its own in a small space. The sound is not quite as deep, a bit more tinny sounding, but at a lower volume, sounds decent. This is not going to fill a room, but would be an excellent desktop speaker. Fun to have on hand, and would be a perfect little stocking stuffer.
