When I got my hands on Satechi BlueTooth Speaker a couple weeks ago, it came at a great time. During this time the company I worked for were doing remodeling of the building and that meant late nights at the company. With this I was able to pass the nights with music instead of dead silence. But you don’t want to hear about me and my late night shifts.

DESIGN

Ever heard someone say, “Looks can be deceiving”? Well, you can use that quote for this speaker. It looks small so it makes you think what kind of power this has, but we’ll talk about its power later. With its small and compact feature, this speaker can literally fit on the palm of your hand, or if you’re traveling, in your pocket. It also comes with a mesh pouch, just in case you don’t want to carry it in your pocket, or if you want it protected.

USAGE

Getting to use this speaker the past few weeks have been great. With its twist-release pop-up speaker, you can really appreciate the work they put in to this. I was amazed at the power and sound it delivered. I had no problem connecting it to my smartphone, since it found it within a 10-15 second time span. The speaker also comes with a 3.5mm audio jack for connection other than BlueTooth.

Battery wise this lasted me longer than I thought. I was able to use this for 3-4 hours a day for nearly 3 days straight with only a single day charge. And distance limitation was not too bad, it is around 30-35 feet. I was listening to “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO and was amazed how crisp it sounded and how well I heard it all the way from the other side of the room.

One downside I found is when I have to turn up the volume, I had to hold the “Next” button which sometimes skipped my song. But after a while, I just used the volume located on my device instead of using the control on the speaker. Other than that this is a great speaker and well worth the buy.

FINAL REACTION

If you’re looking for something portable speaker that works with most BlueTooth enable devices, this is the one to buy. You won’t be disappointed with it. I know I wasn’t.
