Picky audio guy says get it!!! Battery is alien I guess...better than my Flip 4!!!
By CADCAM on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2018
I purchased this due to a "Today" deal on Amazon as I have two other Bluetooth speakers, the JBL Flip 4 and the Charge 2+. I was hoping it would be good enough for streaming music in my bedroom while I slept so expectations were low. I've given away two other speakers I had due to sound quality issues. I really enjoy the Flip and Charge and am continually impressed with them. I received the ULTRA the next day after ordering! These deals sure have fast shipping. I paired it to my phone and took a quick listen...Wow! I couldn't believe it sounded so good, I did have it on my counter in the kitchen in a corner so it was getting some low end reinforcement from its location but I felt the highs were superior to the Charge and maybe even the Flip. This is an excellent speaker for what it is and I would be happy using it in either of the locations I'm presently using the JBL's. Also I've had it several days and it still isn't needing a first charge! This is crazy because I've been listening quite a bit and used it once at night to sleep. There may be sorcery at work here. I can't recommend this speaker enough, it sounds great, looks awesome and the price point is fantastic. If you need a higher quality speaker purchase this without reservation. Good bass and highs and plays plenty loud enough for me. ***UPDATE*** Purchased this speaker and received it May 5th, as of today I still have still not charged it! How is this possible?!? I used it at home listening while cooking and at least 2 nights I played it all night while sleeping. I then took it into work and use it during the day to listen. The manual says the light will flash red when the battery is below 15% but my light is still green. When I wrote my original review I mentioned sorcery but at that time I was only kidding, now I'm a little blown away that a speaker can last almost 3 weeks being used extensively and not require a first charge... !!!UPDATE #2!!! One thing this speaker does that I love is it DOES NOT mute when I go into your phone, both the JBL's mute the music when you do anything on your phone. I can mute the speaker myself if I need to JBL. Anyway this speaker lasts way longer than either JBL, sounds just as good if not better and doesn't mute itself if I just wanna check a quick Instagram. A+++ JBL Flip 4 battery doesn't hold a charge anymore and when I plus it in the battery reads almost full but isn't and will not charge. The JBL cost me 100 bucks!

Refined sound but not for everyone.

Pros: The best thing about this item is the sound quality. It sounds open and clear. The factory sound signature is good and the phone app allows you to increase the bass, at the expense of upper clarity. Battery life is more than adequate. The speakers are slightly tilted upwards which helps to dispersing the sound. Cons: It is not the loudest and the sound becomes a bit too compressed near the max volume. The bass quality depends largely on the surface it is placed on. Hard surfaces tightens the bass and soft surfaces makes it more mellow. The phone app is really outdated. Do not expect any fancy features. If you just want a mini boom box for bassy beats, this is not it. If you like a more refined sound signature and are ok listening at moderate volumes, this is a good option.
