I have the Shoqbox already a couple of weeks and have this very fond of her. The first thing I noticed is the bass and indoor has a small part has a lot of power. But for the way it is rather inappropriate. Outside you have in radius of 2-3 m good sound, but then is also the end. I use it mainly in the bathroom: hinstelle, Bluetooth to connect mobile and sing in the shower. or cooking in the kitchen. It's a good alternative to the sound system. On vacation, it was also very comfortable to listen to music. The battery life is just about acceptable (about 4 hours) - depending on the volume. To save some battery, player / mobile phone can be connected via a jack of MP3. The star deduction is available for the price.
