I didn't know what to expect from a speaker in this price range but i was pleasantly surprised! i tried to plug my phone directly into the speaker at first without really realizing that it was primarily a bluetooth device and the speaker prompted me to go the bluetooth route, i switched bluetooth to on in my phone and enabled the device in general settings >bluetooth

You can control the volume through the speaker and through your phone so your phone essentially works as a remote

So i got this for a gift but omg now i wanna keep it for my self i love it i love taking kids to the park and listening to music while they play and i love working out outdoors so love to be jamin and this speaker is awesome sound quality is great and the style of it super amazing i wish it was a but bigger to carry around but still love amd the color amazing i received this item at a discount rate to try out for my honest review this product is beyond wonderful

I am super happy with this speaker i would recommended it to anyone looking for a bluetooth speaker
