Decisive for the purchase was mainly the light show that is really great (otherwise there is probably no competition). The sound is rather dull, but just "good". The battery power is sufficient as described, it is enough no less than 5 hours (Tip: Turn off the lights when you just want to listen to music).
For parties, the box is sure an eye catcher. I am alone, the acting LED show, which can be highly variable designers, worth every penny. It varies depending on the "noise".
I use the speaker as a single desktop speakers, as speakers carried along for the bathroom and the kitchen, as well as for parties under the stars. I'm pretty satisfied. Only the range and the somewhat dull sound make me a star deduction (which I do not know why the range is only about 6 feet, located on the transmitter or the receiver?).
