Just arrived. Unboxed to check it out. Bluetooth keeps disconnecting and reconnecting while playing music⦠over and over and over. Sent note to cs. Iāll see what they say.
Just got mine today, I guess I lucked out based on many of the Amazon reviews. I stuck it on our patio table while working around the yard, phone in my pocket. It never dropped the Bluetooth connection the whole time - until the battery died. Works good on FM (have to guess the station until they do an āIDā) as well as āAUXā. Not bad for $8 + free shipping.
Yeah, I read the reviews after I had the problem. Guess it happens with a few of them. Iām always curious to know if it is a problem with certain devices using a specific Bluetooth protocols or just a crummy receiver. Glad yours works well. The sound is decent and a steal at 8 bucks.
These are the first item Iāve bought on Woot that Iām not pleased with. I bought two of them on the Woot-off, just opened them today. Both only last about 1.25 hours on a full charge, and within about half an hour of the āend-timeā, both start dropping the signal, especially at a āquiet pointā in the music. Itās a shame ⦠the sound is actually pretty good compared to my laptop speakers, and even my TV speaker. Connecting to the TV was worse⦠half the time the people talking on TV sounded like they were under water. Oh well, thereās always a first time ⦠I guess these will just go out in the trash. Oh, as a couple other people mentioned, ridiculously short charging cord, and it is proprietary. [EDIT] ⦠Well, I assumed the second one was going to be bad like the first, but itās been playing for 3+ hours now (music from the laptop). Still sounding good. It fooled me because it kept dropping for a second when there was virtually no sound / quiet break in the music. But it seems better now. Perhaps Iāll get one good one out of the pair ![]()
Hi there. Make sure you reach out to customer service.
This was the buy of the event for me! (Although I did get a BoC) Itās big but it sounds great, havenāt run it out of juice yet, connects right away - no issues. More of a boom box than a bluetooth speaker and also has FM radio built in! I guess the cheapness manifests itself in inconsistent performance? Only complaint is the charging port is coax instead of USB but for $8 Iām happy!
