This works great. We have taken it on a few trips to play our NuCalm neuroscience app at night and it works well to emit the frequencies under the music and deliver the patented, clinically proven physics via isochronic wave form, guiding our brain waves into the sleep architecture. It holds a charge really well too!

Small but LOUD! 🔊😍
I’m honestly impressed with this little speaker! It is SO tiny and cute, so I really wasn’t expecting it to be as loud as it is. When I was researching it, I saw people saying that it was loud, but I didn’t realize they meant THIS loud! 😂 This little thing can really put out some sound!
I also like the touchscreen controls. You have a touchscreen pause button, a forward button to skip to the next song, and a backward button to go back to the previous song. It also has different modes, although I haven’t gotten a chance to test all of those out yet, so I can’t really speak on them.
I love that it’s portable and easy to travel with. The size is definitely deceiving because it sounds much bigger than it actually is. For around $40, I definitely think it was worth the money. I was comparing it to speakers that cost around $100 or more, and I’m really happy I went with this one.
If you’re hesitant about buying it, I’d say go for it if you’re looking for something small, cute, portable, and loud. I’m someone who can be hesitant about buying things online too, so I understand the hesitation. 😂
The only thing I would say is that if you specifically want a BIG speaker, this probably isn’t for you. But if you don’t mind the smaller size and want something you can easily throw in a bag and travel with, I definitely recommend it. I’ve only had it for a short time, but so far, I really like it! ❤️🔊

I have had my unit for over two years.And it still sounds just as good as day one.
I listened to hard rock all the way to classical and instrumental and the sound is always perfect.

It’s very nice like the color. Only thing is it’s a bit more softer than the last time I had one.

Received this the same day I ordered it and couldn’t be happier with my purchase so far!
I got this for the bathroom and to take outside while in the hot tub….easy to carry around and sounds good. Perfect for what I need it for.

For the low price I didn't really expect much. When I used it for the first time I was shocked that it sounded so good. The only It definitely gets loud with the perfect amount of base to treble and no distortion even turned up to max. I've had this speaker since July 2019 and have used it everyday at work and at home ever since. I also take it with me on all my outings. The battery last me all day at work and I just plug it in when I get home. With that much use since 2019 I can't believe its lasted this long. As of last month I'm just now starting to notice a small distortion when I turn it up. After 6 years, of almost everyday construction job site use and abuse(check out the picture), I expected it to die a long long time ago. I'm about to put an order in for 2 more and I'll finialy retire my 2019 one.

It has awesome sound for such a little box. I love the color. It’s just small enough for me. Get it you won’t be disappointed!

So I've had this product for a little over a year now. It's sound quality is still so good, it can get pretty loud. The sound is crisp and I use it often in my showers. I needed a water resistant speaker and this is definitely a good choice for that. It's durable too, I've dropped it a couple times and luckily it didn't break on me. It's a good size as well, fits on my small shower shelf perfectly. The charge life also lasts a couple hours, and also you can still use it while charging which some speakers don't do so i'm glad this one does! Overall I just really love this speaker, I only had 25 bucks to spend when I bought this, and it was so worth it.

This has been a great speaker until now. Out of nowhere, it started making this noise and I can’t turn it off. It will do this for about 2 minutes, be quiet for a few minutes and then, start over again. I’ve tried turning it off, but it won’t stop. It’s going in the garage until the power runs out. Hoping once it dies and gets recharged, it’ll stop.

con:
very little or no bass at all

I bought this for my home office because I listen to a lot of music. I was pleasantly surprised. The bass is there. It has great sound. Easily connected to my computer. And just the right size. I am very pleased.

Speaker sound is adequate (i.e., not close to the greatest nor the worst). My biggest gripe with this device is that it's cumbersome to use. The power button is at the bottom of the backside (AND you have to press hard!) Who wants to pick up the speaker to power it on/off? Also, the volume control dial is counterintuitive--to INCREASE volume, you rotate the DIAL DOWN (i.e., clockwise) and DIAL UP to decrease (of course, you'll always get it wrong, because it makes no sense). Also the Mode button doesn't do anything (it only flashes from white to black when you press it). I don't recommend--there are better speakers even at this low price point.

in general I've been wanting a speaker replacement and this fits my needs for now. it came fast and for 33 dollars, its really decent with good battery life and on top of that, it has USB-c to charge it up which is great to charge if you're on a rush or on the go. the sound, it sounds great with a bit of EQing, but if you arent EQ'ing, the treble is more present than the bass but generally the bass, it's still audible , but my guess for the treble being louder has to do with the speaker being loud enough in a outside setting which is a win, but overall it sounds good, but it can sound a bit better with a 3rd party eq app (sorry apple users, EQing in this format wont work for yall so disgreard EQing as a whole). the speaker can handle about 5 db of extra bass without it sounding distorted at around 310 Hertz. once it does I turn on a limiter and it sacrifices a bit of loudness but thankfully through bluetooth it gives me a lot of headroom for volume loudness, so at the end of it I'm not sacrificing loudness with EQing. Aux wont work the same unless theres a powerful dac involved to increase loudness. now to talk about a dent on this product, not only it came in 2 boxes, it somehow has a dent? not sure if this is meant to show where the charging port is but everyone should know how a usb c port looks like. 4/5

Love it! Have Onn brand speaker, same color, size, watt, shape but more 3 expensive. And it DOES NOT begin to compare to Doss. Sound and clarity are far better. Also like the touch control features. Had Doss on my counter while cleaning one day and could feel the bass on the floor! My house is 3,000 soft and I can hear this throughout.

We like the simplicity of using this Bluetooth speaker; the connectivity is quick. The sound quality is great. The battery life lasts for days; I use it in the office for 4-8 hours, five days a week. Great quality at a low price. Highly recommend! In fact, we purchased a second one for home.

I purchased two of these a couple years back and it was an amazing purchase. The Audio is amazing you can feel the sound waves come off and hear it clear as day. You can use the aux function to plug it into your computer or standalone mic for example a hyper x quad or solo cast. You can play audio though it and it sounds super clean and clear too. Bluetooth has never had an issue with me and it seems to charge fairly fast tbh and the battery life lasts long enough for any events I’ve gone to just plug it in when it beeps alerting to low battery and you can continue to use it.
Alex
I would highly recommend anyone buying this. The sound on this thing on MAX is super loud (which is a good thing). I will changing the volume is difficult. You have to start on the middle circle and with you finger move clockwise or counter-clockwise on the ring light slow. Overall, its an amazing item to buy. I'd highly recommend this compared to other speakers.
A. Peguero
Easy to set up, decent sound, nice aesthetic. let's see how long they last.
SO FAR? I feel I made a good purchase. I WILL COME BACK IF IT FAILS.
---- UPDATE 1 ----
This THING disconnects and FORGETS to stay in sync with the device you choose + for example, you have 2 devices (phone and laptop) this thing needs to be paired every time.
IF YOU HAVE A PHONE AND A LAPTOP YOU WILL HAVE TO DISCONNECT MANUALLY THE DEVICE YOU DONT WANT to be CONNECTED AT THE MOMENT, THIS THING EVEN WITH THE LAPTOP SLEEPING OR CLOSED REFUSES TO PAIR YOUR PHONE... is annoying!!! you have to manually disconnect the laptop and THEN pair the phone
ANOTHER ISSUE:
Let's say you paired with your laptop, it will stop being paired because you stopped listening to music or audios for a moment, it turns OFF AUTOMATICALLY (even while being charged or full of charged)
ANOTHER ISSUE:
If the laptop is sleeping or off, and you want to use this thing with your phone, WELL you have to pair ONCE AGAIN because the thing won't recognize or connect to the device that is active or ON at the moment.
---- BESIDES THAT: it still sounds great, IF YOU WANT IT JUST FOR ONE DEVICE: is great!! Otherwise, be ready to jump between devices pairing over and over again -----

Update: Speaker be gone. Sat unused on the garage shelf making tons of noises and flashing lights after many months of never being used and not plugged in to recharge. Kept turning off and on by itself so it was burned in a fire pit. I would NEVER recommend this speaker.
Another Update a month from my below update: I placed this speaker in my garage towards the back of the shelf after the below incident happened. Walked out in my garage today to find all blue lights lit up and it's making a quieter noise then it did prior. Interesting. This thing has not been used in SEVEN months. Displayed the alarming dying signal a month ago yet here we are, still flashing and making noises. Spy device. TIME FOR THE TRASH CAN. And anybody asking if you can pair this to Home or Alexa, why in the world would you have that thing spying on you in your own home?
Ever have a piece of technology that makes you wonder? This is it for me. It makes an extremely loud tone indicating the battery is low. Woke me up out of a dead sleep at 4am. You can’t shut off the LOUD annoying busy tone or the blue lights flashing. I had to stick it outside in my garage and pray I couldn’t hear it inside. I would not purchase the speaker again. Look it up, this is made in China with artificial intelligence built in. Same as Alexa. No thank you spy machine.

This little speaker packs a punch! Sounds good with hard bass songs, or rock/ alternative rock. Like that you can connect your ipod, or save songs to a microsd. My only complaint is that it beeps or talks. Have to turn that off, since I plan on bringing this to work. Can't have it beeping every time. Otherwise love it!
Design is very modern, too. Looks good in any room.
Sharieka
I think it’s Possessed or something because it turns itself on and off randomly. I can’t get it to stay on or stay off!! Overall it’s an amazing speaker! But I guess I have a Defective one ! 😟 never dropped it stays in one place and is used often Because i love the Quality! I don’t know what to do ....

I like the radio. No bass. Well.....not a lot, and not impressed at all. However, my use is mainly to listen to talk radio and podcasts. Connecting is easy. If your even just a little bit of an audiophile, this is NOT your speaker. This would be more for people who are tone deaf, or don't know the difference. I have 7 BTS's and I rate this as a tolerant 5 outta 10.
A VERY BIG PLUS about this speaker, is the company allows for a simple firmware upgrade that allows you to disable the 'auto off' feature which I do not like at all. You'll find it on the company's website under 'Downloads'. Be sure to follow the instructions to the letter or you may have a paper weight. But really, if you have been around the web and PC use for a while, you should be able to handle it.
**UPDATE**
I decided to test battery life. It states 12 hrs. I'm assuming that's with music with audio leveled at between 50-70%. I listen to talk radio just about all day. So, I put it on started the timer, had audio at approx 20-40%, it varied throughout the test. Well color me impressed, the battery low tone (a phone busy signal, which fooled me three times...I couldn't figure out where the heck that was coming from, and it was louder than the radio volume, hence my confusion) I let it play another half hour before I got tired of the 'busy signal', and plugged it back in power. Grand total? .......wait for it...........26 1/2 hours!!!! That's impressive. This speaker is perfect for talk radio, podcasts, and low level music.

UPDATE: DOSS Customer Support reached out to me about the malfunctioning speaker and sent me a replacement without hesitation. This speaker works much better than the previous one purchased. I still cannot have a wall in between my media device and the speaker or it akips, but the range is much, much better! Bumped up to 5 stars due to wonderful customer service and a better, functional product!
*So I gave this product 3 stars for sound quality and appearance. The sound is absolutely amazing! Note to those using bluetooth: Make sure your media volume is up on whatever device you're using, because at first I didn't think the sound was that spectacular, even though the speaker was all the way up. But after turning the volume all the way up on BOTH my bluetooth device AND the speaker, the sound is absolutely incredible for such a small device!
*NOW.... I took away 2 stars because many raved about this speaker and the distance people were able to go without it skipping. Some said they were able to enter a separate room, while others said they were able to go downstairs with it working perfectly. I must be one of the unlucky people, because if i walk away from the speaker with my bluetooth device in hand, I cant go any further than approximately 10 feet before it starts to skip in and out (and believe me it's quite noticable). The product description says 33 feet; however, when I go that distance away, the music simply cuts out. I paid $10 for a different speaker at Walmart and got the same quality when it comes to range. Not what I was expecting for a $30 product that guarantees it...
While I'm happy about the quality of sound, I'm DEFINITELY not impressed with the range.

I received this today. It came with a charging wire (no wall plug), the device, a manual and an aux cord. It came with a little charge so I was able to turn it on and play. It took a bit of adjusting because it kept disconnecting with my iPhone but it eventually paired fine. Sound was good. Pretty loud for such a small speaker. I tried connecting it to my PC (main device I was going to use this for) but it doesn’t play any sound even though it’s connected.
I was so excited for this but it’s not really working for my computer unless I use line in mode.
Also, I was very disappointed because the unit came with a few scratches. See in pictures. The packaging was great so I was very unhappy to see small scratches on the bottom front my new device.
Will test the Bluetooth with my husband’s computer to see how that goes but for now, not totally happy with this purchase.
UPDATE: So DOSS contacted me and offered to give me another device after they'd tested to make sure that that one works. It's great! I did notice that the LEDs are brighter with this new one. Not sure if that's a function that changes with battery levels or just how the devices are. Overall, giving a 5-star since customer service was prompt and the device works really well.

If you're thinking of getting this speaker for your latest Echo Dot, hoping it'll make it sound better than the latest 2nd generation Echo, then you'll be very disappointed. While this is a decent inexpensive bluetooth speaker that sounds better than most laptops and monitor speakers, it can't compete with other higher end Bluetooth speakers (JBL, Sony, Sonos, Bose, etc...) despite the product claims.
When I compare this to the 2nd generation Echo, it sounds like a tin can with feeble bass. You can connect this to the Echo Dot using the Aux port or Bluetooth and keep it plugged in as long as you occasionally drain the battery if you care to salvage the wireless power. Beware of the top led lights, which is annoyingly bright at night and can't be dimmed nor turned off if you plan to place it in your bedroom. I ended up placing one of my Echo Dot directly on top to cover it up, or you could place a piece of cardboard or a thick paper as a workaround.
I considered rating this 3 stars because I almost contemplated returning it after hearing it for the first time. However, for an everyday mid-low volume listening, I'm going to be generous and give this 4 stars for the affordability and an easy upgrade for most laptops and tablets.

Great sound, great price, the range is limited to about 20 feet between the speaker and phone or device. Great for small house or apartment. Long battery life. Don't let the obscure brand name hold you from buying this product. It is a high quality product for great low price. I have owned this product since 2017 and from the video, you can hear how clear the speakers sound and the battery is still good for about 6 hours of use and a week of standby. Great product, you will not be disappointed

[ASIN:B01CQOV3YO DOSS Touch Wireless Bluetooth V4.0 Portable Speaker with HD Sound and Bass (Black)]] Revised review. DOSS contacted me regarding my review and offered to replace item I received. New item arrived very quickly and was found to be excellent both cosmetically and functionally and I am changing my review from 1 star to five. I intended to use original speaker as a gift but purchased something else when first item found to be flawed. So now I will used the replacement in my older vehicle instead of wonky FM transmitter in area with lots of FM stations. Seems to have worked out very well in my case.
Delivered June 11. First thing noticed is that black finish on mesh in front of right speaker is flawed. It looks like some chemical was dripped on mesh making it discolored. I thought this item was new but maybe it is refurbished (??). After reading the many reviews, both good and bad, I charged the speaker to see how this performed. It has no problem connecting to my iPhone. However, when I played music from Pandora, or mp3's from a SD card, I notice a background "hiss" similar to what a phonograph record used to sound like before the digital age, when the volume was increased beyond approximately 50%. Did not see this complaint in the reviews I read so maybe this problem is unique to the speaker I received. I intended to give this speaker as a gift but it is unsuitable for that so I will search for something else. Overall I am disappointed.
