The operation of the speaker is good, the Bluetooth connection worked with me right away. The sound is good. However, I am spoiled because I have the Bose Sound Touch 20. For I have forgiven 5 Stars. Hmmm, what do I do with ShoqBox. Quite simply, the comparison does not fit: The Shoqbox delivers music via Bluetooth, so without a WLAN, making it mobile. The battery is also a difference here and a plus for the Shoqbox, it provides more than 8 hours of music without mains cable. And of course the price: The Bose system is nearly twice as expensive. Since I am very satisfied and happy with the sound with the ease of use and mobility, I see the value for money for the Shoqbox as well. Overall, I would give 4.5 stars, which is not so "Five Points for Philips ..."
