For an inexpensive speaker, (I bought it on sale for $52., I think.), this has nice sound. The upper ranges aren’t great if you are listening to violins, for example. But overall the sound is fine. There is nothing to setting it up. Just turn it on and it will communicate with any Bluetooth device that is operating. It tells you when you are connected. It has a carrying strap and bike attachment but I just move it around the house. No problems with picking up a signal at a distance. I live in an area of rough terrain and can’t get any broadcast radio at my house. So if I damaged this speaker, I would replace with another like it.
