LENRUE Bluetooth Speaker, Wireless Portable Speaker with Loud Stereo Sound, Rich Bass, 12-Hour Playtime, Built-in Mic. Perfect for iPhone, Samsung and More

This is the Lenrue Wireless Wave Speaker. The technical facts on the box say it recharges in 3 hours with the supplied USB cord, it has two 3 watt speakers, and the wireless range is 33 feet. "Black" is checked on the box. It is also available in gray. It's a small speaker, 7" X 3". That said, I got it to fill a perhaps unusual need. The very complex sound system on my car went out, and the U connect system on a recent Dodge Dart costs $800 to fix, so I looked for a work around. Although billed as wireless, this speaker can also act in a wired fashion, and includes a cord for that purpose. Some of the reviews say the cord is not very good. I replaced it with a readily available braided, longer cord with plugs on both ends. I plugged one end into the AUX input on the back of the speaker, and the other into the headphone jack of a small, portable Memorex CD player, creating a $50 alternative to $800 in car repairs. How's it work? I would say great. To activate the speaker, one holds down the leftmost of four buttons on the top, until one is answered with chimes and a blue light in the speaker grille, indicating the unit is on. The easiest thing to do is start the CD player, and then press the same button on the speaker, which cycles it through three options: the first is seeking a bluetooth signal from a wireless sound source, the second is the AUX input (input through the wire), which is the one I want, so that the music is heard through the speaker. The third is SD card mode. The light flashes blue when searching, and glows steadily blue when it locks on a signal. One will heave to consult other reviews about the other options as I am only using the wired mode. My speaker needed charging upon arrival, A lamp glows red while charging through the USB cable, and goes off when fully charged. I plug the USB plug into the charging block for my iPhone, and charge it that way from an A.C. outlet. The other buttons on top of the speaker work as a volume control, although they also have other functions which don't apply when using the speaker in the wired (AUX) mode. I don't like a lot of bass, but I'm aware that many do. I wouldn't say there is a lot of bass, but perhaps compared to other speakers of this size there it. The obvious question is why don't I just set a boombox on the seat? I tried that, but the CD player skipped a lot and finally gave up, and the unit ran down 6 "C" cells rather quickly. This CD player runs on 2 AA cells, and doesn't seem to burn through them. Given that the volume can be adjusted on both the speaker and player, it seems plenty loud for listening in my car, and the small size makes it easy to take in and out of the car.

I'm actually kind of shocked, this speaker will get decently loud if you ask it to. Its not comparable to my computer's sound system or the home theater speakers. But for something I'd throw in my bag for a bonfire circle. Its pretty okay. All the cons aren't really issues in my opinion. I wanted a good tool for 10 USD, compromised at 17 USD for this unit. Yes you get what you pay for, and in this case its a pretty solid unit. I don't shill often, but when I do I still feel obliged to mention any negatives. For people who are not gadget and "toy" collectors like me. Pros Super cheap. My family does Christmas games for some novelty prizes. I'm getting a few more units for that. This thing is pretty loud, at its highest possible volume it appears to distort the music a bit. But if you want it to, it can do it. The bass isn't especially great, treble easily overpowers it. Its just too small to push enough air to be especially pronounced, but its not absent. Its got a 1500mAh battery, that holds a lotta juice and can play a good bit of music, I'm not going to test it. I'll just take it on faith that the advertised playtime is accurate. Cons USB 120/220 wall adapter NOT included. The USB charging cable is short and insulated by rubber instead of braided nylon. The USB charging port is slightly stiff at first. It seems the plastic facade is a bit oversized, a few careful connections and disconnections loosened this up. It does have Bluetooth latency, its not low latency but I don't know why someone would expect it to be.

Just connect to the A10 and don't worry so much.

I like this BT speaker a lot... good price and good operating time on its charge.. But it has a problem (at least 1 of 2 I have do). It at some times, plays a tune and stops playing from the source. It does Not disconnect. Disconnect and reconnect does make it work (play source) but its not at all clear why it does this. I'm changing my review from 3 to 4 as the problem I mention may have been completely mitigated by change my roku audio setting to stereo. Since this may help someone... in stereo mode roku sends uncompressed audio to its BT speaker... and the Lenrue speaker (which has hardcoded power saving mode) does not see longer pauses in content at transitions which can cause the dropouts. It (to me) also sounded better. This may help fix others' dropout problems.

I love this little speaker. I bought it 2022 for poolside / beach music and this little thing stays charged forever, has amazing sound and has survived quite a beating over the years. Writing this review in 2026 & I still use it daily. 10/10

Will this make sound from your phone sound better...Yes. For most phones it will sound better, but these will not improve on the sound from your Amazon Echo or Google Mini speakers. Are these Full-Range, Hi-Fidelity loudspeaker...No! Not even close. No real bass (but again more than your phone), High & mid range limited and prone to distortion at higher levels These are inexpensive, lightweight, speakers. "Lightweight" being the key thing here. Speakers are simple things. they move air, the more air, and the better they accomplish that the better the sound. A heavier magnet will move more air and produce a fuller range and sound. Size matters too, but that's limited for small speakers of this size range, so in this case it is what it is. Yeah, I know, that's over simplified, so sue me! When shopping for this type speakers, when there is limited tech info like here on Amazon, look at the power & weight of the speaker. This one claims 10 watts, and is like 0.66 pounds. That's chump change for power & weight in the speaker world, and that's why these are so inexpensive, and sound so empty. If you are looking for something in this size range, look for something in the 1.25 - 1.75 pound range, you'll pay a little more but you will definitely hear the difference. The BT connection with my phone is solid, the connection to my Nest Mini breaks up occasionally. Not sure what is going on there... At the end of the day these are about equal to the relatively low cost you pay for them. They will not rattle and windows, but they will improve the sound from your phone but not your Amazon Echo or Google Nest Mini speakers .

This is not a boom box. It is a good speaker with great sound. But don't abuse it's qualities. In your office, bedroom, living room, kitchen, it is great. Not for parties or machine shops. I purchased this for my USB flash drive. And it works great! When you first place it in the back, the radio plays the drive from the first, in order. If you turn the radio off and leave the drive in, it will start right where you left off. So audio books or how to instructions or song lists will start where you ended them. BIG plus.... you don't have to re-tell it that you are using a USB drive. It recognizes it as soon as you turn it on, and starts playing. The buttons is where this really shines... 4 buttons. 1- Turn off and on, 2- rewind back to beginning or just back one track depending on how long you hold it., 3- pause and/or play, 4- forward to next track or farther depending how long you hold it down. That is it and all you need. The USB is a standard mini, (android type) which most people have. If you don't have one, get a set of adapters for a few bucks, get the ones that can connect to the cord itself. Always ready when you need it and can't get misplaced. It can be kept plugged in all the time, and will be fully charged when you want to take it and go. Otherwise, it will take 2 or 3 hours to fully charge if you run it down. The charge lasts longer than most people will listen to it, so if you are a regular listener, then just plug it in when you go to bed. It is priced well for giving too, and easy for even the most tech challenged person,... young or old. I highly recommend it!

pairs in less than 30 seconds, sounds fine with plenty of volume, lasts a long time on a charge, longer than advertised. liked it well enough to order another.

Exelente sonido y durabilidad de batería.
