OontZ Angle Solo Compact Bluetooth Speakers, 2-Pack, 14-Hour Playtime

I write reviews sometimes, not always. But these deserve mention. For a little speaker they sound good. Their is not much bass response but that's to be expected with this type speaker. Mine have had drinks spilled on them with no problem from moisture. With that in mind I have had them two years now and they are still doing fine. And I use them almost daily. Great value!

Very solid little speakers. Easy to pair with devices. Right and Left sound control. Surprising range. Very pleased with purchase.

This is my second pair. Nothing wrong with my first set; I just wanted to install separate sets in different cabins aboard my sailboat.Read the directions, and watch the videos. These are definitely Bluetooth STEREO speakers. I initially had some trouble with them after having failed to use them for a period of time, but the trouble was mine alone. I simply forgot how to use them.I highly recommend following the directions to pair in stereo mode. If you fail to do this initially, you might have both speakers in your library of Bluetooth devices. You only want (1) - the primary/left speaker. Do yourself a favor and somehow label the primary/left speaker. I’ve done so with a bit of string in the unused leash loop. This will always be the first one you turn on, and the only one you’ll need to turn off. The secondary/right speaker will never connect to your device, rather it will connect to the primary/left speaker. You should “forget” the secondary/right speaker in your Bluetooth devices library. Just get rid of it you only want the primary/left speaker to show up. Because I’ve (2) sets of these aboard my boat, I’ve changed the name of each primary/left speaker in my library to reflect their respective colors - just “Oontz Blue Primary” and “Oontz Black Primary”.Now, whenever I want to use a set of speakers, I just turn on the primary/left speaker, and then the secondary/right speaker. After the primary/left speaker connects to your device, and the secondary/right speaker connects to the primary/left speaker, they’ll announce themselves, “left speaker”, and “right speaker”. Now you’re all paired and ready to play your music, audiobook, show, whatever.These kickin’ little speakers put out a tiny amount of power. Their magic comes as a result of sound design - engineering, you know. Try to remember that to get the best out of these little speakers, they need to be utilized in an acoustic environment. These will sound like completely different speakers between an open-air pool, and a ½ bathroom. Try it; you’ll see/hear. The ½ bath will sound rich and immersive, while poolside will sound tinny and diminutive. This isn’t a fault of the speakers, but the acoustic environment in which you’re using them. You simply need more power in an outdoor environment in which there are no surfaces upon which to bounce sound around. This is also why earbuds require little power to bounce big sound around your ear canal

Great basic Bluetooth speaker. Needed it for a Holiday dinner where guests were in adjoining rooms. Did the job. Easy to use BUT directions to pair so they both played the same music was a challenge.

I am sort of comparing these with the JBL Go 4 -- another speaker that can be paired up in stereo mode, but that I have other issues with.We live in the era of TWS earbuds that are easily capable of being used to watch video, granted you typically must enable Game Mode to do so. Why is it, then, that TWS stereo speakers lag so far behind in capability?These speakers have good sound quality, and for the price they are probably a reasonable value... but they don't have great sound quality, nor are they "surprisingly loud," in volume or bass. With the volume turned up all the way on the phone and the speaker sitting right in front of them, they can't get loud enough to be uncomfortable. If you intend to use them outdoors... I don't expect the sound would carry well.Pairing was unusually difficult, as it failed several times. Then, when it finally did succeed, it took several seconds for the speaker to acknowledge the pairing. I tested it with a Pixel 9a.The benefit I was hoping to take advantage of -- the 3.5mm support -- was sadly a letdown, as they don't seem to have great noise filtering. There was a hum that only became louder when sounds were played -- plugged into a PC.Finally, the stereo mode is a big letdown -- it only works when using a Bluetooth source, and it imparts an unacceptable latency for watching videos or playing games. Music only... I don't really see the point in having stereo speakers that you can't use with videos or games. To their credit, this is mentioned in the manual, but it doesn't tell you the connection between the two speakers dies the moment you plug in the 3.5mm connector. I was really hoping to get stereo without latency.In summary -- volume claims didn't hold up in my testing, the bass was unimpressive, the stereo mode felt like more of a gimmick, but I don't listen to a lot of music. When I do... I need more bass. Looks like I may be stuck with the JBLs.

Speakers are very plain to hear.Volume is very good.

My friends have a pair. They're angled nicely to hear while standing or sitting. They mostly keep them in the kitchen to play music while cooking or cleaning. But they're easy to move to the dining room or upstairs to pair with their smartphones. There's a slight trick to setting them up, but, for such little devices, they put out great sound.

I have had these for a month and the 2nd speaker won'y sync or connect to my bluetooth. I would prefer to fix and have it work
