Customer Questions

Can I connect a microphone on it? What about wireless microphones?   

No mic connection. It has a built in microphone for Bluetooth, but the quality is not great.

Will the moisture of a shower damage the speaker?   

Are you taking it in the shower or just the room? I wouldn't advise getting it wet....but might take it in the room. Haven't done so though

I have the little Oontz Angle Portable, when is it done charging? How does it indicate? Does the blue flashing light stop or what? I really want to know so I don't ruin my battery!   


Yrs it stops blinking. Becomes a voilet color

 Customer Reviews

Good Value

I have multiple blue-tooth mini speakers. Compared to the Jambox this plays a little louder and has better battery life, but does not have the voice feature that tells you what the battery level is and announces certain settings (not something I care much about) nor does it come with as many accessories. The build quality is good, but it is not as nicely styled as the Jambox. In terms of what matters (sound quality) it sounds a bit more realistic than the Jambox. It has a bit less bass, and the very top highs are missing, but there is also less distortion and the unit doesn't rumble so much that it moves like the Jambox does.

Pros: At the price this is a great value, I would not be able to justify paying multiple times as much for the Jambox. Battery life is outstanding. Good volume for something this size.

Cons: It uses a mini (not micro) jack plug for charging, no AC adapter is included, and it would be nice to have track skipping controls (the regular Jambox doesn't have these either). 

 

Really god deal!! 

Ok, I am not too tech--y, a sound aficionado...and am old; but I can hear and recognize good and bad sound. This little speaker is great for the money. No point in comparing it to a $1200 system.....but again for the money: it connects with ease, range is great, battery life is exactly what is advertised or better, and sound is really good at high volume or low volume. Draw backs maybe--can only connect blue tooth one at a time...but really?? No complaints. Now I just got it and do not know how long it will last........but I take pretty good care of my stuff and I expect it to be around for a couple of years. After all one of my laptops is 18 years old and still works :-)
