Radio not what I expected. Not as loud as boombox 2 and battery life nowhere near as advertised. Sorry I bought it

quite simply you won't find a better sounding bluetooth speaker at this pricepoint. Long battery life as well. I plan to get another one to run them in stereo mode

A fair improvement in sound, crappy battery

By Craigbe1

The sound quality is a definite improvement over an already good speaker. The addition of the midrange speakers add a definite depth of field. The only downside is the battery. They apparently used the same battery as the Boombox 2 because I get 25% more life out of a 2.5 year old Boombox 2 battery than a new one

I purchased this last week (7/16/23) before our beach trip. This speaker lasted roughly 5 hrs on 3 separate occasions (beach and pool). Audio sounds amazing but you’ll be left hanging midway through the party. Not worth $$$$

Battery light needs improvement

By Tess0419

I've been using my new Boombox 3 for 4 months now. It sounds great! The battery only lasts 6 hours on max volume. It last about 12 hours on 3/4 volume and 18 hours on half volume. Here's three massive improvements that are required, in my opinion. 1. Make the bottom flat all the way from end to end and widen the bottom so that it is more stable. It rolls around all the time. If you even slightly bump it, it becomes a rolling pin. 2. Put the LED battery/charging light on top of the unit by the on/off button and volume buttons. Why did you think it was a good idea to put it on the bottom of the speaker where you can't see it? 3. Make the LED battery/charging light a digital readout. Level 0 through 10. You have a limited idea of how much battery life is left until the light bar turns red. At that point you're down to 15 minutes to an hour left of play time depending on the volume you're at. That's also providing you pick it up and check the light periodically.
