This speaker rocks! I received this speaker as a gift from my brother and was astounded at the quality, as he usually buys me cheap gifts. This was not at all the case. The sound was the best part. For a little speaker, I was amazed at how loud it could go. It connected to my phone (Android version), in seconds. The distance you can be away from the speaker with your device still in your pocket was great as I was almost 2 full rooms away before it cut out. Answering calls was as easy as a touch of a button, and I found that you get no echo as I have in other Bluetooth devices. The battery life is great. I received this days ago, have used it every day, and still haven't had to charge it. All and all great product. Looking forward to more Manhattan products in the future.
