Rockville ROCKBOX 6.5" 100W Portable Bluetooth Speaker, 6000mAh Battery, USB/SD/AUX/FM/Mic Input, 24hr Playtime, for Parties, Karaoke, and Outdoor Events

I've had it for a over 2 years now, still impressed. Contemplating buying another one.

So after reading every review on this speaker. I decided to bite the bullet and order one. First off let me say I have a set of Rockville BPA12 DJ speakers that I absolutely love. But I wanted something smaller and easier to transport for work. So I looked around. I have several friends with Ion systems and Monster systems. And yes for the price they are very nice. But still bigger than I really wanted. I have several 808 speakers and while they are amazing speakers they aren't powerful enough for my intended use. I work in a production factory and it's really loud.Overall sound quality 9/10loudness 10/10bass response 6/10aesthetics 8/10ConsI noticed and I know Rockville went with red color on the speaker and it's just a slight annoyance to me but when using Bluetooth the speaker shows "blue" on the LCD in red lettering. slightly annoying if you have any form of OCDAlso it would be really nice if there was a battery gauge showing how much charge the battery had left at any given time. Even just 4 simple LED lights would be niceI received the Rockbox yesterday before work and couldn't wait to put it to the test. Without charging it I managed to get 5 hours of runtime off the battery before it died which was a pleasant surprise. It will continue to play while plugged in which is a great feature. Overall sound quality is very surprising. The highs and mids sound AMAZING. The bass while not earth shattering or even enough to make them system move has a nice punch to it. for the people in the reviews complaining there is no bass. It's a battery powered 6.5 inch full range speaker not a purpose built subwoofer.When Rockville says this speaker doesn't distort with the volume and bass maxed they don't lie. Saying this speaker is LOUD is almost an understatement. For only being 25 watts rms and 100 watts peak it's a BEAST! I could easily hear the speaker from 25 feet away with 3 people running 2000 watt peak 15 inch DJ speakers less than 100 feet away from me and all kind of normal environmental noise you expect to find in a production welding facility. Almost every one of my coworkers that walked by were surprised at the sound quality and volume level out of such a small package. The Bluetooth connected flawlessly every time I tried a connection and never dropped even almost 70 feet away.For less than 100 dollars this is about the best speaker you can find and I highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for a small speaker with great sound. That won't break the bank. I may post updates after I get a chance to really test battery life and play with more features besides just the BluetoothUpdate 3/16/2018Day 2 of the Rockbox in an industrial environment and got a chance to do a battery life test. From minute one on the battery I had this thing basically maxed out. Volume and bass all the way up and the treble at half way. At 6 and a half hours into the shift it finally died. I knew it wasn't gonna go the 24 hours that Rockville claims with it maxed out, but 6.5 hours on battery with this maxed is still pretty amazing. I could easily see it going 18 to 20 hours under normal listening usage. 24 might be a stretch unless youre listening with it barely turned up to light music.Had several more of my coworkers say they were amazed at how loud it was and how good it sounded for as small as it is.My next update will be later down the road as I get some real runtime on it and see how well it lasts

I thought that it would have a lot more bass to it than it does. it needs like 250-300W to actually have any bass even at full volume without bass boosted songs the sub doesn't even move (i can see through the port) so all that being said you get what you get for $60...

Speaker box is easy to use, and easy to use the Bluetooth connection. Looks great! Not very loud at all, and the bass is nonexistent. I have a smaller speaker that sounds better than this one. I gave it 3 stars because of its cost and a decent sound. Just don’t expect anyone to be impressed with the volume or sound. I keep mine in the camper to be used at lower volumes while relaxing or getting ready to go somewhere. Works fine for that!

I love a lot of things about this; long battery life, good powerful volume, clarity, durability and portability. I use one next to my table when I am working out or cooking in the kitchen. The other one I keep in my practice room when I play keyboard against songs on Spotify. One of the two I bought in 2018, the other was last year. The only drawback is the FM radio. I can't say it doesn't work, I have picked up stations, but you can only dial them through scanning. (It does not pick up AM stations.) You can't dial in the station manually. I would hope they would modify this in the future. Another problem is that there's no antennae, so you have to shift the whole speaker around to try to angle it to receive a station without static. One solution is to have an FM radio with 1/8" output to connect to the Rockbox. The AUX connection works great. So I rate it highly for the bluetooth compatibility and AUX connection. If the bluetooth does not connect right away, the thing that always worked for me was to switch off the Rockbox, enable bluetooth on the device, then switch the Rockbox back on, it should find it. The drawback is the difficulty of tuning FM stations, which I never do. I have over forty Spotify playlists with thousands of songs, I don't need anybody to DJ for me...

Best portable speaker for the price.
