Great Sound, Color, and Portability! Worth it!
I love this device. It enables my Alexa to be portable, give it some good color, and have better sound.I love having my Echo dot around with me anywhere in the house without having to lug around the chords! I was so used to only having one room with Alexa in it, and even planned to get more echo dots to solve the issue. Now, I am able to take this around wherever I go, and listen to music, ask for the weather, add things to my shopping list, start timers, ect. All without cords!The quality of the sound is pretty good, and is definitely feels “fuller” than the Echo Dot by itself. I do listen to music a lot and it definitely does its job well. The sound fills up entire rooms, and gives off a good amount of base for the size.The colors cycles are great, and livens up any corner you put it in! It provides a good amount of light, so you can still see it clearly, even in direct sunlight. The colors are very vibrant and enjoyable. I’m also glad to see you can turn the lights off, without the entire device turning off. They do tend to get bright at night.I only small have one problem with it, which is the Echo sometimes will not respond to prompts while it’s playing music at a loud volume. The speaker portion must be to loud for the Mic array on the Echo Dot.Other than that, this device is definitely a great addition to any echo dot, and definitely worth your money! I would highly recommend to anyone who wants more “oomph” to their music, a portable Echo Dot, and an amazing fun set of colors equipped on their Alexa!

Battery is the WORST and so is Customer Service
I bought this product to enhance my Amazon Echos 2nd Gen, when I plugged my echos in and connected them, they seems to work great, the iHome lights operated fine and speaker was sounding pretty good… that only lasted 1hr… I then plugged them in a power outlet and waited for them to fully charge… the light that displays the charge (red one) never turns to green even after 48hrs. I called support and they basically said that their product does not work like others, that light will never turn green, its stays red. That seems silly since any other product that I have owned has a change of light when its fully charged… but OK, neither here nor there, they explained that you have to press the top button so it could tell you that “The Battery charge is excellent” , I then disconnected the device and left it there without use, only the echo was on top and no one was using it to hear music or anything, 4hrs later when I tried to use it, it was out of batteries… so I guess the 8hrs advertised is basically not true. Contacting customer service is the worse, they basically told me that 8hrs is not really what you could get out of the device and to just return it if I was unsatisfied. I did, I exchanged them for two new ones. Unfortunately both new ones are the same… the red light never turns green as you would expect, and they only last around 5hrs without use…… what a waste of money. If you want something to enhance your 2nd Gen Echo Dot, dont count on these iHome devices.

Not as loud as I hoped.
With a hearing problem I was looking for an additional speaker for my echo dot. Easy set up, nice colors, easy Bluetooth connectivity. Just wish I could turn it up a little bit more.

Portable, Colorful, a little Buggy
At 29.99 this was a good value. The battery lasts a good, but not great, amount of time. Maybe 5 hours, plus or minus. The colors are changeable and fun. The sound is not as rich as I thought it would be.The biggest problem is that the speaker will reboot and /or shut down itself. Worse, sometimes it will stream music with a little break, almost like a skip on vinyl, about every 10 seconds.I have mixed feelings about recommending it.

Stops working, even while plugged in.
Waste of money first off. Loved the speaker and being able to make echo portable. However after a few months the battery stops working. I have to unplug the Echo, then let the speaker charge up. I can get it to say “battery level excellent “. Then reconnect everything. It will work for a day or so, then it shuts off again. This is all WHILE it’s plugged in. I’ve done that about 15 different times and I’m over it. The battery will NOT charge while the echo is plugged into it. Plus it’s impossible to unplug the echo from the base unless you have needle nose pliers as your fingers do not fit in the narrow opening. It’s very sad quality control and sad how many people have wasted this much money on an inferior product.

For the price of it and for it not to be working only after having it maybe 2 months.. wow .. and can’t return it .this was a gift from my daughter.. very very disappointed.

Sounds great. Lots of fun- until it totally stops working.
*** update. It’s not August. I asked my daughter recently why she doesn’t use her speaker like she used to. She told me it didn’t work. I asked her how long it hasn’t been working. She said a long time. I’ve tried unpairing, resetting the unit and pairing again. I can’t get it to make sound. The echo dot pairs- but the speakers make no sound. I saw online that there is a remote for these speakers. I’m wondering if they were in some way turned down – but the unit itself has no volume control. It’s all handled by the Echo. So I’m stuck with pretty glowing lights and well outside the return window. Deeply annoyed, and certainly not buying another***I’m an audio engineer, and for the price I didn’t have high expectations for this. We bought it for our daughter to put her echo DOT into. I’m impressed with the sound! It’s on par with the Echo Plus speakers. Plenty of bass. Plenty of volume. Great deal! And my daughter loves the lights.
