Unable to compare with other mini speakers in the same category, I can just give a subjective opinion. Nevertheless some talk here of a sound acceptable but frankly, apart listen spoken podcasts I do not see how one little listen to music on this type of speaker. The sound is really very low quality and distorts of that we go above 40% of the volume. Otherwise the build quality air entirely correct, it has buttons on top to adjust the volume as well as to pass along to songs that had guided my choice to this unit. I did not even long enough to give you my opinion on autonomy. I put 3 stars but it's just because he does not really cost that much and I guess we just do not expect more for this price.
