When I first opened it, I thought “There’s no way this is gonna be loud” because it is fairly small and light weight. Surprisingly, it can get pretty darn loud! It sounds great too. The Bluetooth is very easy to set up, and it also has the aux cable with it too. I’ve tried both, and they both sound decent. The volume buttons are confusing, but that’s the only complaint I have. It comes with a battery and a USB charging cable. I almost dished out $200 for the Beats Pill, but I’m very happy I got this instead. I’ve had it on for about 4 hours now, and it’s still going strong without a charge. So far, so good!
