August Portable Bluetooth Wireless Speaker - Enjoy Great Sound and Hands Free Calling from your Phone and Tablet

The speaker came charged and paired up to my iPhone within seconds. The music quality is good and it is loud with a nice vibration through the base. The on-board controls for next track, previous track & volume all work well.When put several metres away it played the music well though there were one ore two occasional blips but up close it was perfect.Does not work well when in another room out of line of sight but it's not supposed to :)Charging is via a micro usb cable.It's tiny size makes it easily transportable.on/off switch is on the bottom & it has audible beeps & a blue flashy light to let you know what it's up to.Easy to pair with another device. Just hold a switch for a few seconds and it's ready to rock.Overall a great wee speaker if you just want good mono sound louder than your own device.

Having read the reviews on this Bluetooth speaker, which were mainly positive, I decided to give it a go and the first plus was that it was on offer and I got it at a really good price. When it arrived, it was well packaged and I charged it up fully before using it. I connected it to my ipod classic and my first impression of it was that it was a great little unit, giving good all round sound quality and it seems to use the surface of wherever you put it to enhance the bass capability. It doesn't blow the windows out, but it gives good a volume for it's size, so all in all my initial opinion of this speaker hasn't changed and I'd recommend it.

This speaker is made of quality components, and has the look and feel of a much more expensive item. I've used it with my Nokia 201 phone, and my Samsung Tab2 tablet, and the sound quality and volume it produces for excellent, but make sure the sound source is turned up high enough. You can walk around the rooms with the phone / tablet and there is no problem with range, a nice feature is that you can skip tracks from the speaker.I put the speaker in the hallway and you can easily hear it all around the house, great for when your busy going from one room to another but still want to listen to your favorite music. I've not used it in the car as a hands free system for the phone, but I think this is a great feature. I have also used it connected to my Creative Zen Vision:M via the 3.5mm jack socket and it works very well.I have had no trouble connecting it to my devices with the blue tooth, and did not even need to read the manual first.

Good for the price

I'm impressed with the sound quality for that price (£6.25), the sound is really clear, loud and bass is deep too. Works great with iPhone 6 plus over bluetooth and jack cable.Don't forget that you should play music on low volume for the first 30 minutes as per the instructions (to calibrate the speaker membrane).The sound is much worse when I pair it with my PC but that must be because of my USB Bluetooth V2.0 Receiver - I've ordered BT V4.0 so that should help as the speaker itself has got BT V4.0 too (same as the iPhone).It works with Skype on PC and with TeamSpeak - so I can use it as a wireless microphone and still use the normal 5.1 speakers or headphones.The only disadvantage I've found so far is that the speaker only remembers 1 BT device, so if you want to connect another device, you have to disconnect first, then power off the speaker, then hold the power button and connect/pair with the new device.

I bought two of these as I thought the first one was brilliant. For the size the sound quality was very good and it doubled up as a hands free kit in the car. The first one took 8 months before it just stopped working. It's was still charging and pairing, just no sound was coming out either wirelessly or through connecting via the audio socket. I decided it may have been a one off so purchased another straight away. The first was refunded immediately, however the second one has gone the same way as the first but inside of 3 weeks. Still negotiating to get a refund. Such a shame as this was a cracking little speaker but there's obv some internal issues that are letting it down.

This arrived very prompted. The design of this product is simple but has class. It has weight which adds to the design and overall feel. I find it very tactile. The sound from the August MS425 is very good but do not push the volume up too much as it will drop off with distortion.Overall this is a super little product and I would not hesitate in buying it.

Bought for music and alarms in circuit training at my martial art classes in north London, this speaker is reasonable. The battery life is not great, and the bluetooth range is nowhere near the 10m limit that it should be, but it is reasonable. The benefit for this model is that as it has a microphone too, I can use it in my car for handsfree operation when driving.When playing music, there are pause, back one track and forward one track on the speaker. It's supplied with a micro USB to USB cable for charging and a short 3.5mm double female jack for hard wiring it to your mobile phone too.

Arrivato per posta nei tempi stabiliti, mi ritengo davvero soddisfatto di questo mini-speaker bluetooth che a dispetto delle piccole dimensioni è dotato di una resa sonora paragonabili a casse più grandi. Tempo qualche secondo dall'accensione ed è già pronto all'accoppiamento col dispositivo bluetooth attivo e anche spostandolo nelle camere adiacenti non si nota alcuna interruzione o balbettio dell'audio.Discreta la durata della batteria e la ricarica della stessa è abbastanza veloce. L'oggetto sembra abbastanza solido e la sua pesantezza lascia pensare all'impiego di buoni materiali per la sua costruzione. A mio avviso il prezzo è davvero vantaggioso.

Al ver la bocinita que recibí, creí que no iba a tener potencia para lo que lo iba a usar, que es utilizarla como reproductor de audio para clases de inglés, y quedé gratamente sorprendido por su potencia. Lo único malo, y la razón por la que no le doy las 5 estrellas, es porque en el iPad, de repente el audio sale entre cortado. Fuera de eso, todo muy bien.

Great item. Loud playback. I use it mostly for audio playback of books in my car and it works great. Can use as bluetooth or direct connect (for ipod classic). Battery last a long time. I bought this item after returning an 85.00 BlueAnt Commute 2. Have pretty much the same features available to me and save 70.00

Kurz und knapp gesagt: ICH BIN BEGEISTERT.Ok... Das wird einigen bei der Kaufentscheidung nicht viel weiter helfen. Also möchte ich diese Kundenbewertung etwas ausführlicher gestalten und meinen ersten Eindruck zu diesem Produkt hier weiter geben, um vielleicht dem Ein oder Anderen zu helfen, sich für oder gegen diesen kleinen "Kraftprotz" zu entscheiden.Also: Ich habe den kleinen Speaker heute bekommen. Gestern bestellt, heute schon da, ohne zusätzliche Versandkosten. Das ist schon mal sehr lobenswert.Er war um ca. 9:30 Uhr da, und ich habe ihn auch gleich an mein Smartphon (Star S9500) angeschlossen. Bluetooth hat auch den "Kleinen" gleich gefunden und ohne Probleme erkannt. Ebenfalls sehr positiv zu bewerten.Auch das Tablet (Acer B1) hat sich problemlos über Bluetooth verbunden.Seit ca. 10 Uhr dudelt der kleine "Kraftprotz" fröhlich vor sich hin, obwohl ich ihn noch nicht aufgeladen habe. Mittlerweile ist es 15:30 Uhr und er zeigt immer noch keine Schwäche.Telefon freisprechen funktioniert tadellos, sogar Skypen ist möglich, über den Lautsprecher. Allerdings habe ich das Mic. am Lautsprecher nicht getestet.Rufannahme geht sehr gut, Titel vor und zurück funktioniert sehr gut.Optisch macht der Kleine Speaker auch einen sehr guten Eindruck, mit seinen Stahlblauen Gehäuse.Auch wenn man die Musik lauter auf dreht, klirrt nichts. Also wenn man im Garten, in der Garage, oder in der Werkstatt rumwerkelt ist er ein guter Begleiter.Da die Meisten Smartphone-/ Tabletbesitzer eh Musik auf dem Gerät haben, hat man auch immer Musik, oder Hörbücher oder was auch immer, dabei.Wer es geschaft hat, bis hierher zu lesen, für den möchte ich nochmal kurz zusammen fassen- Sehr gute Verarbeitung aller Bauteile- optisch sehr ansprechend- guter klang, auch in höheren Lautstärken- schnelle Bluetooth Erkennung und Verbindung mit dem Handy und dem Tablet, sowie auch mit dem Laptop- Lange Akku - Spieldauerer (bisher sind es ca. 6 Stunden, also mehr als angegeben)Mängel konnte ich bisher nicht feststellen.Also: Preis/Leistung, mehr als zufriedenstellend. Man sollte aber nicht verwechseln, dass dies kein Ersatz für die heimische Stereoanlage ist.Man kann von dem kleine Kraftprotz schon sehr viel erwarten. Mehr als ich zu diesem Preis zu erhoffen wagte.er wird wohl ein ständiger Begleiter werden, aber er wird nicht die Stereoanlage ersetzen können.Das wäre doch etwas zu viel verlangt.Was ich noch als sehr lobenswert erwähnen möchte.Ich habe den Bluetooth-Speaker gestern bestellt, und heute war er schon da. Da er von Amazon versandt wurde, geht mein Dank und das Lob natürlich direkt an Amazon und seine Mitarbeiter.So macht Online-Shoppen wirklich Spaß.Ich hoffe ich konnte dem Ein oder Anderen bei seiner Kauentscheidung etwas helfen.

I almost want to give it 5 stars.. but...as I use it, I noticed that something can be changed for better.Let me tell you about the good things or 4 stars I gave first.1st star - fast delivery, a day or two faster than expected,2nd star - easy to pair , i use it as microphone/speaker so I can answer/call my google forward calls.3rd star - good sound and quality because the speaker is upward, - with microphone, I can talk much better (or hear louder at the same time )than using phone built-in microphone.4th star - price is good ! (under $20!)Now improvement needed.The turn on/off button. in order to make it off and on, you may have to hold it few seconds, and after a tone, you will now if it is off or on.I mean, if they should regular left to right switch, it will be easier.Volume key is okayPlay/pause/forward/backward key is okayBut all above are at the buttom. Sometimes it is hard to find where the on/off button is, where the switch is. That is only bad thing I found so far.If they could move it on top of the speaker, then it will deserve 5 stars.
