Took about 20 times to pair, and after the speaker's battery was discharged, I tried multiple times to recharge the speaker. The speaker would light up, as if it was charging, but the lights would go off after a couple of minutes into the charging. I got on the website for the company who manufactured the speaker, explain my issue, however, never received a response from the Everything speaker company. I bought several because I thought they would make great gifts. sadly disappointed, especially in the customer service.
