FULMINARE Portable Bluetooth Speaker with 26W HD Sound, Speakers Bluetooth Wireless 6.0, AUX&TF-Card&USB Input, LED Lights, IPX5 Waterproof, 16H Playtime for Home/Outdoor/Party, Birthday Gift (Black)

GOOD SOUND
This speaker is very practical to take anywhere thanks to its compact and lightweight design. It’s very affordable and easy to use, connects quickly via Bluetooth, and also includes a USB port and TF card slot, an aux cable to connect another device, excellent HD stereo sound, and multicolored lights that flash to the beat of the music. The rechargeable battery allows me to play music for hours. I really liked it.

Good, entry level speaker…But…
It’s alright. Sounds pretty good, actually. Can get loud enough to fill a room without distortion. Light on bass, obviously due to its physical size and power.Physically, it feels solid and well made. Everything is metal, dense black plastic, or rubber and finished well. The ports are under a rubber panel which does close up tightly. I think it could take some abuse, but it’s not super ruggedized for camping or the beach, IMO.It can play music off of a USB drive, micro SD card, or aux input; not just Bluetooth. That’s an interesting feature set you don’t see much. You can’t select tracks or anything, though. Just play or pause. They also have to be MP3’s and there can’t be any other files on the drive. It’s picky, but it works.The lighting looks bad and cheap. Thankfully, you can turn it off. The volume control buttons don’t have a wide range; ie: each tap of the + or – changes the volume up or down a lot, there’s no fine adjustment. The final tap of the – puts it in mute, but also makes a loud sound to warn you it’s muted, I guess?Speaking of loud sounds, my main problem is how the startup and shutdown sounds are really loud and there’s nothing that can be done about it. I contacted the seller and they told me this. Just realize that every time you turn this on or off…It’ll blast you with a VWOOOOOoooooooom! ‘powering up the reactor core’ canned audio file.Aside from that, the sound quality is good and it does pair with my phone very easily. Battery seems to last a while too. I do keep the lights off and use it at a low-ish volume, though.I got this on sale for about $16 USD. Totally worth it at that price. I do think you could probably do better if you were spending $20-30 or more, though. JBL, Anker, etc. seem to make a better unit. They only can play music via Bluetooth, though.Would be 3/5, but gave it 4/5 because of the really decent sale price and how the company answered my question about the start up/shutdown sound quickly and honestly.

Loud and pretty good
The speaker is very loud with clear and rich sound quality. It’s a great value for money and feels strong and well-made. Bluetooth connects fast and stays stable. I’ve had it for a while, and the lifespan seems excellent. Overall, a powerful and reliable speaker for its price!

Poor Volume Control
I want to love this speaker. The quality of the sound is good and the design/lighting is exactly what I wanted visually. It connects to my phone with no issue, and the price is excellent. I love that it gets pretty loud at full volume. The volume is why I’m returning it however. When you turn it on and off the warm up/shut down sound and voice alert are LOUD. So loud that when I’m working late at night I worry it’ll wake up my husband in the next room when I shut the speaker down for the night. It also has a weirdly loud lowest volume setting. The lowest setting is far too loud for me to take it to work to play music at my desk because right out of the gate it’s at a “sharing the experience” level instead of a quiet murmur for me to work along to. The volume issues make it so that I can’t keep the speaker, no matter how much I want to.
