The variety of offered Bluetooth speakers had "killed" me relative. Since I've always collected good experiences with Dell products, I decided no more time-consuming research for this product. Without going to be able to make comparisons with other products, the sound in our view is fine and perfectly adequate. A normal large space is thus well sonicated. My eleven year old son is in any case very happy with it, especially with the range of the Bluetooth connection (to a Dell notebook). The preparation of the compound to the notebook worked well. The range is determined in our 5 - 6 meters and elsewhere it goes well with a thicker stone wall. For battery life I can not say anything yet, in the delivery of these was charged and had not yet returned to the outlet. Something better you will always be able to find, but I think with this product you can not go wrong and we are happy with it.
