The JBL Harmon Kardon name in itself should tell you it’s a great product. Solid… built well, big sound from a little package. Charging and pairing are easy, and waterproof design makes it great for the beach shower or pool. At a lower volume I get more than eight hours music at a time, and at full volume it’s five or more. Fast changing too! I love the new design, that doesn’t make you open a little door with a rubber grommet that’s almost impossible to open to charge it. there’s no door anymore and apparently the connection is waterproof. Buy one … or 2 for stereo like I did! Enjoy.
