• It depends on the size of the room and how loud you need it. I can say this puts out great sound and generally is plenty loud for indoors. Taking it outdoors in a larger open space, it doesn't quite cut it. Without knowing the details above, I would say this will likely be loud enough, but for $20 more you can be sure and go with the larger model. I will say this is a great product and it sounds great!
• It will work for a quiet class. When students are quietly working on an assignment. If you want it to play for a pizza party or to get the kids out of their seats and singing along you may want the bigger one. I take mine outside to the garden and it works well, again if I'm quietly working.
• Depends on the size of the room and ifnthe kids are being well behaved and quiet. I feel the bigger box would be better as whike this one does impress and has good loudness, it wouldn't be hard to overpower it.
• No, this will definitely not be loud enough for a classroom. I am a retired teacher. This is better suited for your bedroom, bathroom or kitchen.
• No. Especially not with people talking.... It's basically only good for when I am home alone or with my husband in a small 1 bdrm.
• The small size off this unit will surprise you! This units gets LOUD and stays clear with no distorting. You and your students will be pleased
• How big is the room? is good for small area has great sound for a bigger room get the bigger one
• This speaker can get really loud. As for an auditorium classroom definitely get bigger.
• Go for the larger model. This is a good personal small space speaker.
• Will definitely be loud enough! Sounds great!
• I've done a side by side comparison with the 1) AmazonBasics Portable Bluetooth Speak, 2) the small version of the Jawbone speaker system, 3) the Bose SoundLink Mini, and 4) The Bem Wireless portable speaker. The Bose system certainly out performed the other three systems, but it was the most expensive. The Bose had excellent bass response and could produce clear sounding music at higher volume levels. The Jawbone was less expensive and could put out a good bass response, but the clarity of the music was lacking when compared to the Bose. The AmazonBasics is a good system when you consider the price. The length and width of the AmazonBasics and the Bose system is the same dimensions, but the height of the AmazonBasics systems in taller than the Bose system, making the AmazonBasics system the largest in size of the four speaker systems. The Bem system is the smallest and has only one driver or speaker and it may have an internal woofer. This system was purchased for$40.00 making it the cheapest and the smallest of the four systems. If you are looking for a cheap decent sounding system either the AmazonBasics or the Bem speaker may be of use. If you want a speaker with a strong bass response, then the choice would be the Bose or the Jawbone system. If you want a small system with excellent bass and spectacular overall sound response, then the Bose system might be something to consider. The Bose system, however, is not cheap at $200.00. I have been using my AmazonBasics with my Kindle Fire HDX when I watch movies or listen to music. It is a good system, especially, when you consider the price.
• I don't know anything about Photive Cyren but I do own the Amazon basics model and it is easy to set up and the sound is good.
• The amazon brand sounds great!
WHAT IF THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER SYSTEM DOES NOT TURN ON?
• The only suggestion I have is to make sure you have charged it. It makes a "boop boop boop boop" rising tone sound when it turns on, and a "beep boop" sound when you turn it off. If you are having problems connecting to your bluetooth device, there is a "synch" button that activates the bluetooth on the device. Mine works fine - no issues.
• Turn the unit on and wait for the light to start to blink then hit the function button and wait for the light to start to blink again, then try to pair it with your bluetooth. I had the same problem. Basically you go through the steps of pairing and additional bluetooth. For some reason the pairing didn't work as described in the manual. Good luck!
• The speaker has its own on-off switch that will power it up. In addition, Bluetooth needs to be enabled on the device sending music to the speaker, and you need to go through the pairing process specified in the speaker manual. If the speaker is on, Bluetooth enabled, and the devices are paired then everything should work.
• Make sure you've charged it up using the USB port. Plug it in until the charging light turns blue. If it still doesn't turn on after that I'd send it back.
• Is it plugged in to charge. When I got mine it said it was charged ready to go but mine would not turn on after I plugged it in it worked
• All you have to do is turn on your Bluetooth and the speaker will pair with it. Very Easy
• Charge it.
IF THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER IS NOT IN USE AND NO BLUETOOTH IS IN RANGE WILL THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF OR WILL THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER KILL THE BATTERY?
• Hello Jay, This speaker will automatically shut off even though the switch is in the on position. If it loses the wifi connect and no sound is being projected it will also turn off automatically. The battery life on this machine is impressive and you can keep an eye on the battery life via the device you are operating. Took me about a month before my first charge with every other day usage. I use it for a good 20-25 min each time.
• It goes off on its own. Cuz I admit I've forgotten to turn it off. The only thing I wish it had was an AC plug in. Cuz u need to use a USB cable to charge it. Other than that, I think you'll enjoy it.
• It does shut off on its own after a few minutes even though the switch is still in the on position. You press the middle button to turn it back on.
• Will turn off by itself free a while. No sure how long, maybe an hour or so. If no Bluetooth around, it will disconnect in 10-15 min.
• There is an on/off switch, so I believe you have to turn it off after use to preserve battery power.
• It will turn off and save the battery.
• It turns off
I UNDERSTAND THAT THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER COMES WITH A USB CHARGING CABLE, BUT WHAT DO YOU PLUG THE USB END INTO TO CHARGE THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER?
• You can use any USB wall charger. If you have an iphone/ipod/etc. you'll have one already. Most android phones have them too. If you don't have on though, they do sell them separately. Just search "USB wall charger" and you should come up with plenty of options.
• You can connect it to any computer with a USB port or you can use the wall plug from your iPhone or any other device that uses a USB charger.
• Lindsey, if you have an android phone, just use your phone charger. Otherwise plug it into a usb port on your computer.
• Lindsey, if you have an android phone, just use your phone charger. Otherwise plug it into a usb port on your computer.
• You can connect it to a PC , or even your iPhone charger or iPad charger. In reality any charger that has a USB port.
• The charging cable must be plugged into a wall outlet. It charges quickly and holds a charge for hours.
• A wall usb plug, a computer, almost anything though i wouldn't charge it from a laptop.
• Any computer. Or into the wall charger base for your phone. Anything that accepts USB
• If you have to ask this you probably shouldn't be using a blue tooth device.
HOW IS THE BASS?
• The bass is surprisingly good for such a little speaker. I mean it's not going to compete with a larger system that can produce the deep thumps but the speaker doesn't sound "tinny" to me. The lowest frequency is 150hz, which is not "deep" by any stretch. For a quick audio comparison, check this at 150hz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVu99mgBtok which is what this speaker puts out, vs this at 100hz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw5QJdQNLKs which is what the slightly bigger Amazon speaker puts out. Hope this helps!
• Not real strong. You can tell it's presence. But if you have EQ on your player, you can enhance your sounds. But sometimes to get more bass you sacrifice overall volume. It is a small speaker and not a woofer.
• It's average. If you're looking for an old case sound it's adequate. But mine only worked wireless for about two weeks then I had to buy a cable to connect it to my computer or it wouldn't work.
• I'd say it's pretty adequate for the system. I've seen speakers bigger with less, and smaller speaker with more. But I've had this for about a week, and so far I love it.
CAN THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER UNIT BE CHARGED FROM WALL POWER, AND WILL THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER WORK WHILE CHARGING?
• The answer to both questions is YES. You'll need to get a wall charger designed to power/charge a USB device (like the AmazonBasics Wall Charger with USB Outlet, or the one supplied with iPhones). Understand, since the USB cable that comes with the speaker is relatively short, you might want to get a longer one if you intend to plug the speaker to a wall outlet. Not only will it be easier to do so, but you'll be able to place the speaker on a secure, likely higher surface, which should enhance the sound coming from it.
• Yes, it will work whist charging. It does not come with a USB adapter; it comes with a very small (8" maybe) USB cable. It has a micro USB port. I recommend getting a larger USB cable if you want to put it on a shelf or other furniture.
• Yes, it works just fine while charging. It uses the same sort of mini-USB/USB wall adapter as a cellphone or tablet. I can charge my Samsung Galaxy S3, Nexus 7 tablet and the speaker all with the same cord.
• Yes to both, just need a USB to 120v adapter. Like for an iPhone, etc.
• Yes
WILL THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER WORK OUTDOORS IN A BACKYARD?
• Yes. It also depends how strong the signal is from your Internet Router. If you have a cable modem and router that is not to old it should work fine. If you have a phone that you can connect to the Internet from outside your house then I would say the speaker will work fine. The max distance from your device to the Bluetooth speaker should not exceed 25 feet. Hope this helps and if you have additional questions, let me know.
• As long as it is charged up, it'll work anywhere you take it, including the backyard. It's not waterproof, so you wouldn't want to leave it out there, but it is portable so it'll go with you wherever you take it!
• It will work but I doubt that it can generate the decibels that it would need to sound good in an outdoor venue. That is why I chose it for the bathroom.
• Yes it will Cynthia, as long as your not too far away from the source. I believe the limit is about 30 ft.
• It's cordless, so yeah... It'll even work on top of a mountain if you bring it.
• Works great outdoors but is not waterproof.
• Yes.
HOW'S THE OUTDOOR PERFORMANCE? COULD I USE THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER WITH A PROJECTOR AND OUTDOOR SCREEN FOR SUMMER BACKYARD MOVIES?
• It depends on how many people would be listening and how spread out. Unless it's just a couple of people sitting close together, I think ambient noise in the out-of-doors would drown it out beyond a few yards. And remember it has to be only a few yards from the broadcast source.
• No, i would not recommend this speaker for that. It is only good for small spaces like a bathroom, as it has the similar performance of a hand held transistor radio. I would recommend Brookstones Big Blue Party for what you have described for price and performance.
• I don't know. I bought it to play music camping, but haven't taken it out yet. It is plenty loud inside. This weekend I will try connecting it to my laptop via blue tooth and test it and reply here again. (So far I really love it and it sounds great!)
• It's a good sounding by small form factor speaker. Sure it will work outside, but will be best for a small area, say about 10x10'.
• The outdoor performanse is quite right but I didn't use a projector.
HOW WAS THE MUSIC PLAYBACK? ALL BLUETOOTH DEVICE I HAVE USED WILL DROP AT LEAST 1 TIMES DURING A SONG. THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER IS MAYBE ONLY HALF SECOND, BUT REALLY ANNOY
• I have found this to be a really great portable bluetooth speaker. I listen to a lot of podcasts and music playlists through this unit. I have not noticed any dropouts over the last several weeks I have had this. My iPhone is usually within a foot or so of the speaker. I have not tried this out in a party setting yet but with just a few folks around it kicks out plenty of good sound. It also holds a charge well. I use it for about an hour a day while getting ready for work and it went well over a week before charging. Even then, it had not shown up as low on my iphone bluetooth icon. For the price, sound quality and charge duration - I have been very pleased with this portable speaker. I am thinking about getting a second for downstairs.
• It happens occasionally, but not nearly as often as once a song. The sound is respectable, but not quite as good as the high end speakers.
• No dropped music...works beautifully and great sound :-)
HI, IS THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER POSSIBLE TO USE AS AN ALARM CLOCK? ALL THE OTHER BT SPEAKERS I TRIED GO INTO STANDBY/TURNED ITSELF OFF BEFORE MORNING.
• Unfortunately, this speaker goes into sleep mode relatively quickly (a couple minutes) if it isn't receiving any audio. I haven't explicitly tested the alarm clock feature but I can tell you than if my Pandora app crashes and stops playing, the speaker -- even though still connected via Bluetooth -- does drop into sleep mode. I doubt this would work as an alarm clock.
• It won't go into standby if it is PLAYING something, like music or a phone conversation, so theoretically you could leave your source playing white noise through it all night and then BANG THE ALARM at a preset time. But I'm not really sure what the advantage would be over just putting the alarm source, presumably your phone, near your head.
• Just search for AirAlarm app on the app store.. Resolves the timeout issue on other speakers (tested Bose Soundlink Mini).. If it doesn't work for this one just let me know ;)
• No, this one turns itself off after a few minutes without use too.
• Not that I know of
WHAT KIND OF LIGHTS ARE ON THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER UNIT AND HOW BRIGHT ARE THEY? I INTEND TO USE THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER IN A PHOTOGRAPHIC DARKROOM WHERE LIGHT IS A NO NO.
• There is one small blue light on top, right in the center. It blinks when the speaker is connecting with a Bluetooth device. Once connected, it remains lit. It's very small and I don't think it would be an issue. How ever I don't know how much light is permitted in a darkroom
• There is one small light in the center top of the unit, at the controls, that shines blue or red depending upon the connection status. A piece of electrical tape over the light fixes the problem.
• There is a small red LED on top of the unit, in the middle, toward the front. It would be easy to cover it with a piece of tape if needed. It blinks blue then red when syncing the bluetooth.
• A small blue light and it is not very bright at all. Nothing a piece of tape couldn't fix, especially since it is just a light signifying the unit is on and paired.
• A small green one. Easy to take over
HOW LOUD CAN THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER SPEAKER BE?.
• If you are in a relatively small space (>1000 sq ft) with a full charge this speaker is pretty loud; even more so if you have tile or wooden floors. It's not going to rattle the pictures off the wall but for wireless streaming of your favorite music, books, podcasts, etc. this speaker is great for the price.
• For a small speaker it kicks butt! I have to tell you, I like it BETTER than the Jambox since this one has the capability of slipping to the next track or replaying a track! Had I bought this first, I probably would have skipped the mini Jambox
• I have used it at home and in an office conference room with as much volume as I wanted. Of course, if you want the walls to vibrate with the sound, this isn't for you.
• Not exceptionally loud but good for a personal speaker. IE Around the house or office. Not real good for party environment. I have one and love it.
• Pretty loud... it's not overpowering, but can fill a good sized space.
• Sound really good
HOW GOOD IS THE MICROPHONE ON THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER DEVICE? HAS ANYONE USED THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER AS A CONFERENCE CALL DEVICE AROUND A TABLE, FOR EXAMPLE?
• Hi Pk Shiu, would like to have a try to test our touch screen bluetooth speaker please? Bonpie WS-712 Touch Screen Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker Super Bass Stereo Sound for iPhone, iPad, any Bluetooth Devices, Built-in Mic for Handsfree, Silver
• I got this device for my daughter to use in the car as a better speaker for her cell phone. Overall it is pretty good, 4/5, but the engine noise drowns out the microphone more than I would have liked. As an inexpensive conference call device it could work out ok.
• My wife is a baker and uses hers in the kitchen as a mic sometimes. I have called her before and it sounds good on my end.
• I've used it exactly that way and it was terrific. The microphone picked up everyone around a table set for eight.
• If you are not a picky customer, it works great.
IS THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER SPEAKER COMPATIBLE WITH THE SONY WALKMAN?
• Yes, using the 3.5 mm headphone jack, you can plug it directly into your Walkman just like headphones. But you'll need your own 3.5 male to male wire which are very easy to find and are cheap. Alternatively, you can turn your Walkman into a Bluetooth device by plugging in a Bluetooth sending unit into the same headphone jack. That way you have a little more freedom of movement. But for simplicity, try the wire first.
• It connects via bluetooth or a 3.5 mm jack. However, both units I had would stay at maximum volume when I used the 3.5 mm jack to connect it to the audio source. If you are looking to connect by jack, go with the JBL flip 2. More expensive but, unlike the Amazon unit, it comes with a carrying case and charger. Also, the volume adjusts.
• It features an auxiliary Jack which can be used to plugin audio devices through the device headphones Jack. I tried this with my mp3 player and works fine
• Yes. As long as your walkman has a 2.5mm output since I assume it doesn't have Bluetooth.
WILL THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER WORK WITH A PORTABLE DVD PLAYER?
• If you have the right kind of cable, it will. You need a Y cable. One end will have a "male" 1/8 inch stereo plug, and the other will have 2 "male" RCA plugs. Here is the link to it. Belkin Audio Y Cable Splitter 1-Mini Plug, 2-RCA Plugs (6 feet) Hope this helps.
• It will work if you have a 3.5mm male to male stereo cord like this... BlueRigger 3.5mm Male to Male Stereo Audio Cable (4 Feet) - Supports iPhone, iPod, iPad, Android and other Smartphones or if the DVD player is bluetooth compatible.
• If your DVD player has Bluetooth or an AUX cable output. If your player can use head phones then you should be fine. You just need to buy an Male to Male Aux cable.
• Only if it is Bluetooth equipped.
• Probably yes, why not?
HOW IS THE BLUETOOTH CONNECTED TO MY RECEIVER?
• The process on the output device is the same as with pairing to any Bluetooth receiver. You turn on Bluetooth and scan for available devices. Once the portable speaker is identified, click on it and initiate the pairing. I don't believe that any code was required to complete the pairing, but if so it is indicated in the small instruction sheet. One tricky thing is that before pairing with a new output device (i.e. switching from an iPad to an iPhone) you should unpair with the first device.
• Worth it! Sound is very nice, has a little bass, and the Bluetooth (connected with my iPhone) can allow me to move around in other rooms of the house with my phone and have no disturbance in sound quality.
• You can pair your device to the speakers, turn it on, scan for devices on your phone or tablet, BTV1 , blue led will stop blinking and you will be ready to play usic or any sound
• Are you trying to use it as a speaker connected to an amplified receiver?
HOW DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER COMPARE TO A BOSE PORTABLE SPEAKER?
• Are you serious? This is an Amazon generic speaker. Bose is top of the line. How does a KIA compare to a BMW? You can expect that compared to a Bose, the sound quality of this speaker will be distorted and of lower quality. That said, see my review of this product, it is an excellent value if you need audio for a small room and you're not an audiophile.
• I have both. The Bose is much better but it is also a lot more money. The amazon speaker also has a microphone which the Bose does not have. The Bose has a better battery life, sound quality and is louder. The charging plug is better for the amazon speaker because it has a micro USB jack instead of a more unique Bose charger.
• I have both and Bose sound is better form me, but de Amazon speaker is very good too. Some people don't like Bose because the sound is very closed (low frequency). Look at the price and if you can listen before...with same device ....
DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER WORK WITH A TV?
• Doubtful. It could only potential work if: a) Your TV supported audio out via Bluetooth (I am not aware of any TVs that do this); or b) if your TV supports audio out via 3.5mm headphone jack. The second is more likely but you probably wouldn't want to use this speaker for that purpose anyway.
• I'm not an expert but I'd say anything that syncs with Bluetooth would work with it. It's not the loudest speaker (comparing this to a Bose) but it's a nice little handy speaker to carry your music into different rooms with you or even to travel with.
• This speaker works beautifully with the Dish TV's DVR (the Hopper). On your Dish Remote press Menu, then Settings, then Bluetooth and wait till it says it is Paired with the portable speaker!
• This is a Bluetooth speaker. If your device supports a Bluetooth connection and audio output through that connection then it should work OK.
• Does your tv have blue tooth? If so, then I would say yes
THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER IS CHARGED AND IS ON, BUT DOESN'T EMIT ANY SOUNDS. COULD THERE DAMAGED THE SPEAKER? I ONLY PAIRED THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER WITH A LAPTOP.
• You will have to utilize basic troubleshooting to see if the speaker is defective or if the device that you are pairing to the speaker is defective. I would suggest pairing possibly with a cell phone, or with a tablet that is not currently being used and see if you are able to hear any sound. Make sure your cell or tablet is not on mute which causes this issue a lot of times.
• It sounds like the system is not paired with the speakers. Or the speaker itself has gone bad. you would have to use another device to try to pair with the speaker and see if it's defective or if there's an issue with the device that you using to pair with the speaker
• Make sure the volume on your laptop is turned up- I had the same problem when I first paired the speaker with my iPhone. Good luck 👍
WHAT TO DO IF THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER WON'T PAIR?
• In your screen the answer will. you must to enter in your system preference and play enter to "soumd", "BTVI", "headseat whit bluetooth" and ... ok. I made this for my computer is apple macbook. thats all . I wish ok for yoy. after bought amazonbasics (very good) I bough bose soundlink mini... an other world... but amazonbasics portable bluetoot is very good too. nice day.
• Holding down the center button on the top of the unit releases and pairs the unit. I have to do this when I am switching from say my phone to my tablet. It seems to remember what it was previously connected to and needs to be released before it can connect to another device.
• I don't know - did you make sure that the device is displayed in your list of paired devices? You might have to unpair another device.
• Have the device Bluetooth turned off and then on and click the speaker to force the pairing
IS THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER A STEREO? THE SPECIFICATIONS DON'T SPECIFICALLY STATE THAT IT'S STEREO SO I'M NOT SURE.
• Nothing on the product page (aside from it having a 3.5mm stereo input jack) nor in the included paper user's manual indicate that it is a stereo device. It seems to be, though, in actuality. Clearly it's not a $12000 pair of Martin Logan electrostatic tower speakers so it's a little tough to tell sometimes even with the music that I would normally listen to on my home theater. I did download a "stereo test" app for my phone and it does appear that there is left and right channel separation.
• Yes it is. And it has a bass module as well. Two speakers for highs in the front and a speaker for bass in the back. Its a nice little unit
• It isn't stereo. No equalizer or anything like that. I have it on the fireplace mantel and the speaker "fills the room".
• Does it also connect by cable to play music etc.?
CAN I CONNECT TO TWO SPEAKERS AT ONCE? FOR EXAMPLE, I'D LIKE TO HAVE ON INSIDE AND ONE OUTSIDE ON MY DECK.
• Its okay the range is small if you go to far the music is distorted. It pairs easily and is perfect for small spaces. Wish it were louder. I love the Bose mini and its not close. Overall it will do if your on a budget.I only have one
• Its okay the range is small if you go to far the music is distorted. It pairs easily and is perfect for small spaces. Wish it were louder. I love the Bose mini and its not close. Overall it will do if your on a budget.
• No you can not connect two speakers at the same time. You also can not sync with an iPad. It is fine with a phone in a small area.
• No you can not link 2 speakers and you can only have one device connected at the same time.
DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER WORK GOOD WITH A KINDLE FIRE HDX?
• Sorry to say, I don't have a Kindle Fire HDX. Some day I'll have one :-) I would have to say that it should work. This is what is listed on the HDX web page "External volume controls, built-in dual microphone, built-in Bluetooth to support a variety of different wireless accessories such as keyboards or controllers, with support for A2DP compatible stereo headphones, headsets, and speakers". Hope that helps.
• Yes, I got my connected to my HDX with no issues. Only thing I'm experiencing is that the HDX will occasionly hiccup, where the sound stops for a second and then starts again. I don't get this with my HTC EVO 4g or my Asus tablet, so I'm thinking its something within the HDX but not with the bluetooth speaker
• Dont know for sure im using an ipad. if you have blue tooth capability you should be good to go !
• Kindle
MY SPEAKER WON'T SEND OUT A BLUETOOTH SIGNAL. I'VE TRIED CONNECTING TO MULTIPLE CELLPHONES WITHOUT LUCK. IDEAS?
• I had this problem. The solution seems to be that all bluetooth devices but the one you want to connect should have bluetooth shut off. In my case even a tablet that was more than 30 feet away from the speakers was screwing up my cellphone bluetooth connection to the speakers. You have to shut off bluetooth in settings to make this work. Just putting the device in sleep mode doesn't do it. Hope this helps.
• There are many things that can cause that to happen. Device could be easily defective. You did not push sync on the speaker. The battery is dead. For the transmitter it could be defective. You never turned on the sync. Try using another cell or tablet to see if that is the cause. That's troubleshooting 101 for any device that doesn't work.
CAN THE KINDLE CHARGING CABLE BE USED ON THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER DEVICE?
• The best thing to do with this or any bluetooth speaker is to use a small power bank. This way, you can take the speaker with you and play it all day long without running out of power. I use my Zoom Power Bank and it works AWESOME, plus it comes with the 3 in 1 cord which has the micro USB to charge this speaker. BLACK FRIDAY SALE NOW! bPowered UP ZOOM Portable Charger External Battery Power Bank TRUE-6000 mAh - DUAL USB - Works on all Cell Phones & Tablets - iPhone, Samsung, iPads - $20 Aluminum 3-in-1 Cord with Lightening Plug Included- (Blue)
• Yes it charges with a standard micro usb. Kindle, non Apple phones, all charge this.
• Yes, they use the same cable.
DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER WORK WITH ANDROID PHONES?
• It does work with Android phones. However I bought it to amplify my alarm it was not going to work. It shuts off after a few minutes and the alarm does not bring it out of "sleep" mode. Sounded great otherwise and was easy to set up.
• If the Android phone has Bluetooth built in then I think it should work. I don't have a Android phone so I can't say for sure. My guess is yes though. Hope this helps.
• Mine connects just as easy to my HTC EVO 4g LTE. So yes.. It should connect to ANY device with Bluetooth.
• I don't own an android, but as long as you can connect to Bluetooth, I don't see why not.
• If your phone has blue tooth capability, it should work with this unit.
• Yes
DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER CONSTANTLY (10-12 TIMES PER DAY) SHUTTING DOWN? THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER IS FULLY POWERED BUT SHUTS OFF CONSTANTLY AND THE LOUD BEEPING IS NOT GOOD IN AN OFFICE SETTING.
• Yes mine worked fine for one week and then it would not play from my computer anymore. I went and bought a cable and plug it into my computer that way and it works fine. It's the only way it works. It's a piece of junk
• I can't keep mine paired for more than a few seconds. If I can't find some solution for this in the next few minutes, I'm going to return it.
• Haven't had the problem but do not play it very long periods of time.
• No problems here works fine when I use it
• I am having this issue, no solution yet.
IF MUSIC ISN'T STREAMING, THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER TURNS OFF AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I ALWAYS HAVE THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER PLUGGED IN AND CHARGING. CAN YOU CHANGE THAT SETTING?
• I have noticed interference with other bluetooth devices, including my cell phone. I've had to remove and pair again to remedy. I'm not sure where this is coming from but I know it's not the speaker. It's the device trying to pick up the receiver (the speaker). This doesn't happen all the time but sometimes and also, it will switch to my bedroom speaker if I'm using one in the kitchen. Perhaps at some point they will be able to fix this and create a solution. Anyone else have suggestions?
• I don't think so... it just goes into a sleep mode and then if you want to stream the music again, you just press the middle button on the top.
HOW MANY BLUETOOTH DEVICES CAN CONNECT TO (BE PAIRED TO) THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER SPEAKER AT THE SAME TIME?
• To get the speaker to play from your phone, tablet, etc, it can only be paired to one device at a time. If you want to switch devices you can easy do that. You can pair more than one speaker at a time for a stereo sound however to one device at a time.
• Maybe I didn't understand the question after I read another response: you can pair several devices to the speaker. I thought u meant how many can play at one time. oops, sorry!
• We use it with multiple devices with no problems. I'm not sure what the limit is but on Christmas day we had 3 separate phones and 2 iPads being used with it.
• You can only connect one device at a time.
CAN I LEAVE THE POWER PLUGGED IN SO I LEAVE THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER ON, AND USE THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER DIRECTLY FROM MY PHONE WITHOUT GOING UP TO THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER EVERY TIME? OR DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER HAVE AN AUTO-OFF?
• This device has an auto off when no sound is being played through the speaker. So if you stop playing music for a bit it might turn off, but you just have to turn it back on or always play music..
• It will stay on as long as there is a device connected to it. So the device needs to have power and not be allowed to sleep too.
• From what I've found, it definitely has an auto off. I don't know the length of time before it kicks in though.
• The manual says it depends on the device. Indicates it can, if you have Bluetooth 4 and above.
HOW DO YOU CHARGE THE BATTERY
• Comes with a USB cord you can charge through lighter accessory outlet or plug it into a cube at home.simple last 10-12 hours on charge,like it so much I bought a second one
• This unit comes with a micro USB to USB Charging cable. I use an adapter on the USB so I'm able to plug it into the wall, or you can use your computer. .
• It charges via the USB cable. I wouldn't buy this; I had a lot of problems with it randomly unpairing.
• Plug the usb end into a wall socket plug and the other end into the speaker
• Simply plug the supplied cable into a computer USB port.
• USB cord and wall adapter same as a cell phone.
WANT TO USE FOR MUSIC IN CHURCH.....WILL THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER SHUT OFF IF I PAUSE BETWEEN SONGS? MAKE BEEPING NOISES THAT MIGHT DISRUPT?
• If you pause your phone it shouldn't make any beeping noises. If your phone moves away from the speaker (30 feet) it will sound the disconnect beeps. But if the phone stays close to the speaker and you leave the speaker on it shouldn't beep. Hopefully you'll be able to mic the speaker. I don't think it will be loud enough to fill a room full of people.
• Yes, it will not make any sound when there is no signal from the input device.
• It will not make sounds when paused but it is not loud enough for a church
• If you turn off the speaker, it will make a noise
HOW DO I TURN THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER OFF? THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER SEEMS NO MATTER WHAT THE SETTING OF THE POWER SWITCH THE SPEAKER KEEPS RESTARTING IN PAIR MODE.
• It's designed to always start in pair mode, that can't be changed. Sometimes my phone pairs with it automatically, sometimes it doesn't. I think its always paired with it automatically if I turn the speaker on before I turn bluetooth on in my phone settings. To turn the speaker off you just flip the switch on the side. Additionally it will turn off on its own if it doesn't play anything for 5 (I think) minutes to save power.
• If you're trying to turn off the speaker, the switch on the side should do the trick. If not, I'm not sure what you can do besides let the battery run down.
CAN THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER PLAY MUSIC COMING FROM AMAZON'S ECHO?
• I asked the question because there is next to nothing in information re the ECHO and I am not going to buy the speakers if I cannot be certain the ECHO IS Bluetooth enabled. So, your wild guess and "answer" is useless. Amazon has not a clue how to provide info and that includes on the product that they sell on their web site. It is just as absent as any concept of how to make a profit in retail selling. I wonder how long Amazon can survive with such sloppy management.
• I don't own an echo so i can not say with certainty but if the echo is bluetooth enabled than i would think it will work just fine.
CAN THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER BE MOUNTED?
• I see no way to securely mount (e.g. screw or bolt down) without drilling holes and very possibly damaging the unit. There are no exterior screws / screw holes to utilize. You could maybe build a cradle, such as a decorative board, with a pocket milled for the speaker to sit in, but if the use is a rough or bouncing environment I realize that would not work. The speaker works great for me, but I just have it siting beside me when I use it. Hope this helps.
• There are no mounting holes. You'd probably have to build a little shelf for it. It's a great little speaker.
• There is no hardware or holes for mounting.
• No
• No
IS THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER COMPATIBLE WITH IPHONE 5? DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK WITH MINE.
• Yes. I have used mine with an iPhone 5, 6, and 6+, and it works great. Yours may be faulty, because it supports the Bluetooth profile, which in theory should not differ between devices. Make sure 1) your iPhone 5 has bluetooth enabled, and 2) that you follow the directions for how to pair the two devices.
• It should work with any device that has bluetooth. Once the device is turned on and your bluetooth is enabled, you may have to pair the device manually each time if you use your bluetooth with something else like your car or a Bluetooth hands free headset.
• It works with my iPhone 5s. No problem.
• Works with my iphone 5 just fine!
HOW MANY WATTS DOES THE SPEAK BLAST?
• I have no idea, but it has a very acceptable, to me, fidelity and it's loudest volume. I, however, don't need to have the volume anywhere near the maximum. I generally use it indoors, carrying it from room to room.
• I have no idea, but it has a very acceptable, to me, fidelity and it's loudest volume. I, however, don't need to have the volume anywhere near the maximum. I generally use it indoors, carrying it from room to room.
• It is only 6 watts. We use ours for bringing music to the pool or other portable places where wired speakers don't make sense. Sound is good for the size, price is much less than our comparable Jambox.
I CONNECT THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER SPEAKER TO MY DESKTOP ABOUT 2 FEET AWAY VIA BLUETOOTH. THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER GOES TO STANDBY RANDOMLY AFTER 10 OR 15 MINUTES. HOW COME?
• My speaker works flawlessly. I use it most with my iPhone and iPod. The iPhone has the best range about 30 feet. Have you tried a different source for the Bluetooth signal? If you have and that corrects the problem then the problem is in the PC - if the problem persists then return the speaker for another one.
• I do know when there isn't anything coming through the speaker for a few minutes it does go into stand by mode. Other than that I do not know. Maybe try it with your phone and see if it's the speaker or the desktop.
ONLY A 30 FOOT RADIUS FROM SOURCE?
• Dean; NY The speaker is good depending on what you really want to use it for. The battery last enough hours and can be carry over for few more days before charging again; if you did not exhausted the battery playing long hours straight. The sound is good but not as strong in a party hall where there are lot of noise. Excellent for relaxing, low noise area, practicing ballroom steps with few numbers of students. Finally, make sure the Bluetooth devices are easily traceable by the speaker to avoid obstructive sound. All the best
• Depending on conditions, it can be more or less. I have done 40 feet. However some barriers can lessen range dramatically.
ARE YOU ABLE TO CONTROL THE VOLUME OF THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER THRU YOUR PHONE?
• Yes. Once your phone, tablet, device, etc. is routing audio to the Bluetooth connection the volume controls on your device controls that volume level. In addition, the volume buttons on this device communicate the changes back to the phone, so your phone is what actually changes the volume and not the speaker itself. If you are connected via the 1/8" jack (not via Bluetooth) then the speaker volume and and phone volume both play a roll in controlling the overall volume.
• Yes, you can. I suggest you put the speaker volume to maximum, before controlling it via your phone.
• Yes you can
• Yes
IS THERE A WAY TO TURN THE BLUETOOTH CAPABILITY OFF WHILE THE DEVICE IS PLUGGED IN? DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER HAPPEN AUTOMATICALLY?
• Bluetooth turns off automatically after your device isn't connected via Bluetooth for approximately 5 minutes. This happens when it's not in range or you pause the audio on your device. Push play on your device and touch the middle button and the device automatically connects. Also, you never have to turn the speaker off. It automatically sleeps when not in use. To reconnect just push the middle button to wake it up. Very cool feature.
• There is a switch to turn it on and off. So yes, you can turn it off while it is plugged in.
DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER WORK WITH IPHONE 5?
• I have tried the unit on two different flip phones (YEP....old school!) and it worked great. When paired it announces the number of the person calling, so any standard bluetooth pairing with the iPhone should work great. This is an amazing little speaker! You can answer, talk, and hangup all from the speaker without ever removing your phone from your side!
• Yes. Pairs easily and nicely with iPhone 5. I have no regrets about this purchase!
• It works perfect with an iPhone 5s I have no problems with it
• I don't have iphone but works great with android.
• I have 4s. works great.
WHAT IS THE RANGE OF THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER SPEAKER?
• I have a two story house, and leave it upstairs in my master bath. I have been down stairs in my living room (Probably about 30-40 feet directly through multiple walls) and forgotten to disconnect and played something and heard it playing through the speaker. I consistently use it about 15 feet away and it works perfectly. The other answerer should probably return their item for a replacement.
• Wireless? The book says thirty feet. Sound wise? Like eighteen inches. Beyond that you can't hear it
• Not near as good as our bose but worth the money. using blue tooth plan on 15ft. good luck
HOW LONG DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER TAKE TO FULLY CHARGE THE SPEAKER? MY SPEAKER CAME IN THE "ON" POSITION AND WAS TOTALLY DISCHARGED.
• I don't remember how long it took, but mine was not in the ON position and it still needed to be charged. It does hold a charge quite well, once charged, but I do remember thinking the light was never going to stop blinking ;-)
• Is it typical for this to ship with the power in the "on" position? Mine came the same way and I'm charging it now.
• 30 minutes at the most. Not long at all. The charges lasts quite awhile too.
WHY IS THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER NOT PAIRING WITH MY MAC PRO COMPUTER THROUGH BLUETOOTH?
• Depending upon which Mac Pro and/or OS, the speaker may be pairing with another device by default? I'd recommend walking through each step, and if you still can't connect, it may be an issue with the speaker. Can it connect to another device (i.e. phone)? Here is Apple's instructions for pairing in OS X (Mavericks, but should be identical for Yosemite) https://support.apple.com/kb/PH14217?locale=en_US
• I'm not sure because when I turned on my iPhone it picked it right up .liked the speaker so much I bought another
I LIVE OUTSIDE THE US WHERE THE VOLTAGE IS 220 INSTEAD OF 110 IN THE US. WILL THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER BE SAFE TO CHARGE THE SPEAKERS?
• Heather, No clue. However, it didn't come with a charger, only the cord for a UBS - to - speaker, so I think the issue will be whether your charger ultimately produces the same voltage at the output. (Does this make sense?)
• You will need an AC wall to USB adaptor. Check your adaptor many work at US and Europian voltage levels.
• The speaker does not come with a power supply. if you have a Samsung phone charger, you are good to go.
HOW MANY WATTS OR WHAT IS THE SOUND LIKE ?
• Not sure of the wattage. The sound is okay, at best. Not much bass or highes. Of course, the price makes it a good choice for a Bluetooth stand alone speaker. And I if you've got it on and your phone rings, the ring comes thru the speaker, but not after you answer the phone. It kicks the call back to the phone's speaker. I'm sure there may be a way around that tho. Hope this helps.
• I do not know wattage but the sound is great.
• The sound is good very happy with it.
IS THERE A COVER FOR THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER?
• Not sure what you mean, but I'll say that what you see, is what you get. There is a grid face over the speakers on both sides to keep large debris from reaching it, but it does not come with an extraneous cover.
• No cover, but I don't think u need one. I took mine all over the southern hemisphere....Bora Bora, Fiji, Australia, New Zealand....beaches, mountains, in my back pack with no cover & it's fine
• Nope, but the box and screen on front and back are quite sturdy, if that helps.
• No
WILL THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER WORK AS REAR SPEAKER ON MY PC?
• Dear Sammichman, great question I hadn't thought to use the Amazon speaker w/ my Mac but I was successful in syncing it up and switching it as an audio device. Pretty simple and still sounds great.
• Yes, I love my speaker. I'vd had it for 5 months. and as long as you have a Bluetooth pc, then it will work.
• I use it as a bluetooth speaker but it has an 35mm cable jack so I think it should work.
• Yes. As long as you have an audio cable or Bluetooth connectivity.
IS THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER LOUD ENOUGH TO BE HEARD IN A LARGE OPEN SPACE LIKE A BACKYARD OR A TENNIS COURT?
• Yes, if there isn't much background noise. It's surprisingly loud with good sound. I have a garage that faces my backyard, and when the speaker is in the back of the garage I can still hear the music loud and clear anywhere in the backyard.
• It's loud enough for me and I wear hearing aids. It has a microphone if paired to a phone and speakers on both sides of unit. I love it.
• Yes, its loud
• NO.
WHAT KIND OF BATTERY IS INSIDE?
• This is a guess: It appears to me to be a fast charging Lithium ion battery. I find that the unit recharges from my Amazon USB router very quickly. Sorry, but I've never actually times it but it's rapid. Also, the charge lasts for hours.
• It has an internal, rechargeable battery. I'm unsure of the specific type, but I do know that it stays charged for a very long time.
• There is no battery inside simple charge. Get the device you will love it using it as I send this message to you
CAN I CHARGE THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER WITH WALL OUTLET?
• Yes. The unit comes with a charging cable. The cable terminates in a USB1 fitting for charging from a computer. Also supplied is a cable adapter that converts USB to 120 VAC that plugs directly into a wall outlet.
• Yes, It comes with an a cord that plugs into a socket similar to a cell phone plug. I use the same adaption cord I use for my phone plug in.
• Not directly. You'll have to use your iPhone charge wire or some other adapter. I think they give you what you need.
DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER HAVE AUTO TURN OFF?
• It SEEMS to go into some kind of sleep mode if the music source stops feeding it. The blue light on top remains lit. How much power is being used is anybody's guess, but I suspect it's not much. However, when you want to have it begin functioning again with your wi-fi source (e.g., phone) you need to turn it off then back on again (simple enough.) FWIW, I'm quite pleased with it so far.
• Yes. After a few minutes of inactivity it emits a tone and shuts off.
• Yes.
I DO ALOT OF METAL CUTTING, GRINDING, POLISHING, ETC AND THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER TENDS TO GET A BIT LOUD. I WEAR FOAM EAR PLUGS. WOULD I BE ABLE TO HEAR THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER?
• I guess it would depend on the distance, anything less than 30ft I'd say yes. This speaker was smaller than it looks, I had to double check to make sure I got the correct one, but the sound will surprise you!
• Absolutely. I moved mine down to my workshop and it sounds just fine. It won't blow your ears off but hearing clearly won't be an issue.
WHAT IS THE DIMENSIONS?
• 2x2x6" with soft "feet" on the bottom long side. Very handy. What Sharon A. said. I was guessing from memory, so.....
• Approx. 7.25" long x 2.5" deep x 2.5" tall. Hope this helps.
• It's small. 6inches long about 2 inches high. The sound of an Hugh speaker
• It's small. 6inches long about 2 inches high. The sound of an Hugh speaker
• 7 1/4" long, 2 3/4" tall, little over 2 1/4" deep
• 7.25" x 2.875" w x 2.375" h
• L.7 1/8" H.2 3/8.W.2 1/8
CAN YOU LISTEN TO IPHONE CALLS ON SPEAKER PHONE SETTING?
• I have never tried. But I do not think yiu can do that. I remember receiving calls while listening to music and it disconnects.
• I am fairly confident that the listening functionality applies to all cell phone types.
• I use an android device. I can with my Galaxy S5. Don't know about the iPhone.
• I can with my Nokia 928, so I would think you could with iPhone.
• Yes. It has a mic and you can talk back through it.
COMPARED TO BOSE MINI WHICH ONE IS BETTER?
• Keep in mind you are comparing a $200 speaker to a $60 speaker, but given that I think the Amazon speaker holds its own. I wouldn't pay the premium for the Bose. Unless you just hate your money.
• Bose Mini by far. Amazon one is not nearly as loud and does not have half the bass. It's also more than 1/2 the price so you get what you pay for. It's great for audiobooks.
• Any small speaker has its limits but this one sounds great and pairs well.
WHAT KIND OF WALL CHARGER WORKS TO CHARGE THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER? WILL IPHONE CHARGER WORK?
• No, it uses a micro USB so the communist apple chargers don't work. This uses a known standard, not proprietary junk.
• It uses the small usb connector micro style and no, the IPhone charger does not work with this.
• No an iPhone one won't. But you could charge it with any usb connection
• No, It used Micro-USB , that is Samsung Galaxy S4 charger
• Micro usb. But any brick that has usb plug will work
REF THE QUESTION ABOUT CHARGING. CAN I CHARGE FROM 110V USING THE ADAPTER THAT CAME WITH MY KINDLE?
• Yes, it should work. The cord that comes in the box with the speaker is a standard usb to micro usb cord. We have plugged the standard usb connection into several different usb wall adaptors and it works fine in charging the speaker.
• Yes, just about any charger with a microUSB plug should work, including most phone chargers.
• Yes, the USB 110V converter that charges the Kindle Fire also charges the Amazon speaker.
CAN THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER BE IN ANOTHER ROOM NOT NEAR COMPUTER?
• It is listed as having a distance up to 30 feet, but I haven't tried it. Mine is approximately 12 feet from my laptop and works just fine. I might take it out on my deck and see if it works there, but otherwise it is a nice little speaker
• The Bluetooth connection is pretty strong- I connect it to my phone and walk around the house with it and have no problems. Hope this helped ;)
• I used it in an adjacent room.
CAN THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER BE PLUGGED IN?
• Yes. This plays and charges at the same time. You can also just plug it in and listen. Itcomes with a MicroSD cord, so any Android charger, etc will work (not apple).
• Yes. It has a 3.5 mm Jack for auxiliary cords and also has a micro USB port for charging.
• I have not tried plugging the portable booth player. It sync's very well via blue tooth.
• I often run the power out and use my phone sync/charger cord to use the speaker
CAN THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER BE USED FOR PC SKPE CALLS ...IF YES HOW CLOSE DO YOU NEED TO BE TO THE MICROPHONE?I AM HOPING TO FIND SOMETHING FOR A CLASS ROOM.
• I've found the mic only works well if you are close to the speaker and with little background noise so I don't think it would work well in a classroom. The speaker would be fine, but not the mic. You'd probably want a separate mic and speaker to use for skype in that scenario.
• NO It cannot..strictly Bluetooth for phone pairing
DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER WORK WITH A PLAYSTATION 4 (PS4)?
• Works with anything that you can connect to via Bluetooth. However if you use an auxiliary audio cable, you will have to simultaneously have a Bluetooth device passively connected to it, or have the audio coming from the auxiliary cable at a significant volume, or else it will turn off after around 10-15 mins. (Source: I own two of these, both have this issue)
• I believe they'll work if you get an RCA to aux cable (it takes an aux input as well as Bluetooth)
I ASSUME I COULD USE AN IPOD NANO 7TH GEN. (WHICH HAS BLUETOOTH) WITH THIS, RIGHT? (SORRY FOR THE DUMB QUESTION, I KNOW THERE ARE SIMILAR ONES.)
• Yes. any bluetooth device will recognize the speaker. it is very easy. i use it with my iphone, ipad, imac and macbook.
• You can use any Bluetooth compatable device. It actually links up automatically when your turn it on. Super easy.
• Anything bluetooth, yes the iPod will work. Love this unit, enjoy!!
• I'm sure that bluetooth is bluetooth ... should be fine.
I HERD SOME PEOPLE BOUGHT THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER AND AFTER A WEEK THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER STOPPED CONECTING BY BLUETOOTH. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER PROBLEM?
• Hasn't happened with me. I'd be surprised to be honest. Considering their return policy and replacement, I wouldn't be concerned.
• I've never had this problem. I just turn the speaker on and it connects to my phone right away every time.
• Definitely no problem here it works flawlessly!
• In my case I haven't had any problem with mine.
• Never have had any problems. Works great!
CAN YOU PLAY THE SAME DEVICE ON 2 DIFFERENT SET OF SPEAKERS AT THE SAME TIME VIA BLUETOOTH?
• I would guess that depends more on your device than on the speakers, as for them it would be a single connection. However, I know of no device that can send out their signal to two Bluetooth devices at the same time
• That would be a cool capability, but it would be a capability of the connecting device -- not the speakers. There is nothing in the speaker that allows this.
• No
DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER PLAY SIMULTANEOSLY WITH OTHER BLUETHOOT DEVICES (EG. BOSE MINILINK?)
• In my case, no. The devices that I can connect this speaker to only allow one Bluetooth connection at a time. If your source device provides connectivity to multiple bluetooth devices at once, you should have no issue having this speaker be one of them.
• I was able to pair it with my new laptop, which came with bluetooth. Now I don't have to listen to the tinny sound of the laptop but my awesome little Amazon speaker.
CAN THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER CHARGE THE BATTERY WHILE THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER IS PLAYING MUSIC (OR SWITCHED ON)?
• No. You can plug in your speaker to recharge it and then play your device. It can only be charge thru the plug in charger.
• You can charge and play music same time....I believe that answers your question
• I have used the speaker while charging and didn't have any problem with it.
• Yes, just use a USB port.
• Yes u can
• Yes
• Yes
HOW TO PAIR WITH DESKTOP PC
• This takes the cord that I use to charge my iPhone to my laptop - I plug on end to the speaker and the other end into my laptop and it charges / I also have a additional cord purchased that I use to charge to the wall when I don't have my laptop to charge with / it's very easy - one end is USB and plugs in
• Does your PC have blue tooth if so the speaker will find it and connect.
HOW IS THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKERFOR MOVIES? I UNDERSTAND THE MUSIC SOUNDS GOOD, BUT WHAT ABOUT DIALOGUE?
• Yes, it works on all things sound. I love listening to my Audible books and watching my Prime Movies as well. Excellent sound and easy to tuck into my backpack for beautiful music to watch a sunset with!
• This is a well balanced speaker, dialogue is good. Its also stereo, many BT speakers this size are not. If your looking to increase your tablet or laptop volume I would recommend this product.
DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER HAVE ANY BASE SOUND AT ALL?
• The overall sound is so weak that I rarely use it. I would have sent it back but I got it on deep discount so it just wasn't worth it.
• Mid tone only - definitely no booming bass here but miss and highs are sharp and clear
• Yes, in a preset method. If you want to be a boomer this isn't for you.
• The bass levels are minimal.
• Yes! More than expected!
SO IF I PLUG THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER INTO AN OUTLET IN MY SHOP AND PLUG IN MY IPOD NANO I GOT MUSIC IN THE SHOP?
• So long as you have a mini plug connection between your nano and the speaker or the nano connects by bluetooth. Note, that the volume will not adjust if you connect by mini plug; it defaults to maximum. This isn't true with the JBL flip. With the flip, volume adjusts either way you connect.
• Yes. You can play music while it charges.
THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER DISCONNECTS AUTOMATICALLY FROM THE DEVICE AFTER A FEW MINS - IS THERE ANY WAY TO KEEP THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER CONSTANTLY CONNECTED ONCE TURNED ON?
• Hi! I actually think this feature is a positive aspect about this speaker, it allows the battery life to last longer. I have noticed the same thing, but it's good because if it doesn't notice activity then it automatically "sleeps". Just press the center button with the square and it automatically reconnects very quickly!
• Not that I know off.
HOW LONG DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER TAKE TO FULLY CHARGE THE SPEAKER?
• Not long. Its a good basic product. Don't expect high end sound and blow the roof off loudness, but if you want a good speaker to netflix on your phone or ipod, this item is pretty sweet. It doesn't take long to charge and it holds a charge for a long time.
• It's hard to know when it fully charges as there is no gauge. It is certainly less than four hours.
WHEN I PLUG IN MY SPEAKER TO CHARGE THERE IS NO FLASHING LIGHT TO SHOW THAT THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER IS CHARGING. SHOULD THERE BE? IF NOT, HOW DO I KNOW IF THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER IS WORKING?
• When it's off and I plug it in to charge, I get a blinking red light until it's fully charged, after which there is no light. Hope that helps!
• It flashes red when it is first plugged in and the battery is low. If it's charged it doesn't do anything
DOES THE SOUND DISTORT AT MAXIMUM OR NEAR MAXIMUM VOLUME? I HAVE THE IMAINGO SPEAKER AND AT MAX VOLUME THERE IS SOME DISTORTION OR VIBRATION.
• There is some at high volume, but only what you would expect. This unit is still very impressive based on its price point. I don't know how much better you can do at this cost.
• Ihave not experienced that. I've owned this speaker for over three months now and I am very pleased. A quality unit.
HOW DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER COMPARE TO THE UE MINI BOOM BLUETOOTH SPEAKER? I GAVE TWO MINI BOOMS TO BY GRANDCHILDREN AND THE SOUND WAS IMPRESSIVE.
• I am not familiar with those speakers. I would compare it to a jambone. I have a Bose sound link first generation. .. and for the cost deference I would go with the Amazon
• Sorry cadman_57 I have not listened to a UE Mini Boom blue tooth speaker (that I know of) so couldn't make a comparison.
WILL THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER WORK WITH AN HP ALL IN ONE COMPUTER?
• I have an HP computer and it works with it. Just plug it into a USB port. I'm not sure about all in one because I only know of that terminology used with printers. But it works on my PC. I didn't try it as blue tooth, but, it should work with it as well.
• This should work with any device that has blue tooth and will play sound from it.
DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER HAVE FM RADIO?
• No. It is just a Bluetooth speaker to play music from Bluetooth devices. So if you had a Bluetooth device that plays radio, then you could listen to radio through this speaker, but the speaker itself does not have radio.
• No, but I wouldn't want it to. Stream music from you phone that's synced to this thing via bluetooth
• No, its a Bluetooth speaker. awesome sound though
• No.
• No.
CAN YOU CHARGE THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER VIA CAR CHARGER?
• Yes, the best way to charge it in your car is with 2.1amp charger. It's quicker and charges like you're in the house. Amazon has Omaker Premium 3 USB 26W 5.1A Aluminum Panel Compact car charger. Great quality for an unbelievable price. 3 ports for all different charging requirements.
• Yes it charges good in car it comes with a USB cord it charges good and faster
• Yes it's a usb cord
DO I NEED A DONGLE TO USE THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER WITH A PC THAT DOES NOT SUPPORT BLUETOOTH?
• You can connect to this speaker two ways - Bluetooth (wireless), or via AUX cord (wired). I do not remember if this came with an AUX cable, but you would need a male AUX on each end. For non-wired connection, you WOULD need a bluetooth adapter for a PC that does not currently have Bluetooth.
• Sure you do need a bluetooth dongle.
DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER HOOK UP TO A MAC PRO NOTEBOOK
• To charge: yes, it is just a USB cable used to charge. To listen: yes, as long as you have functioning Bluetooth on your computer.
• Yes, tested and works perfectly via a bluetooth connection. untested connecting via headphone jack.
• I have no idea . There was a contest entry and I had to say something to get it
• If it has Bluetooth 4.0 then yes
DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER HAVE A PAUSE PLAY BUTTON?
• No, it has buttons to skip forward and back, turn the volume up or down and a button to connect to the source I think but probably could be used as a pause button if needed.
• Yes. The center button isn't labeled as "play/pause" with their typical icons, but I just tested it with my phone and the center button will pause and play music.
WHENEVER A PERSON WALKS BETWEEN THE COMPUTER (SOURCE) AND THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER, THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER INTERRUPTS THE SPEAKER. IS THIS NORMAL?
• I'm guessing so. Not an expert but it might be the type of signal that gets weaker when some one or something gets in between. I mostly use it for work outs with my iphone or when i go to the beach/ pool and it works perfectly.
• That doesn't happen to mine, so I would say no.
CAN I CHARGE THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER USING THE APPLE USB POWER ADAPTER THAT I USE FOR MY IPOD NANO (WITH THE APPROPRIATE USB CABLE, OF COURSE)?
• With the right cable and/or adaptor, it appears it would, but the Owner's Manual isn't clear. I'm sure Amazon would accept a return for the device not working as promised since the manual is ambiguous in this area. For the sale price, it's worth trying, IMO.
• Yes you can.
CAN YOU USE TWO FOR STEREO?
• I believe if you read the Amazon description and some of the other reviews, there was something about that in there. Logically it should be feasible to have two speakers set up. Not sure if you can have true stereo though.
• I don't know, having only bought only one. But one by itself is loud.
• Sorry, I don't know that answer. good question! only have one.
CAN THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER BE LEFT PLUGGED INTO THE WALL FULL TIME?
• Well if your asking can they play while their charging, yes. Remember these are battery powered, leaving them plugged in all the time will eventually weaken the battery.
• Yes it can. I leave it in the same spot either on or near the charger everyday and never had a problem with it. The battery life off-charger is still incredible.
• Yes
DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER WORK ON AN IPOD 5TH GEN 32GB?
• My girlfriend has an iPhone 5 and it works with that. As far as I can tell, virtually any bluetooth device will work. You can also plug in a 3.5mm cord and use it that way as well. It also sounds great.
• I would think it would work with any Bluetooth enabled phone mine has work with a variety of phones
