Portronics POR-686 Posh II Wireless Portable Bluetooth Speaker (Black)

Pros:+ solid build quality (Some reviews suggest that it is splash proof similar to the POSH 1 but the same is not mentioned anywhere)+ compact size, small enough to fit in a backpack. Looking at the image, it feels bulky as a brick but is quite smaller than that (see size specs )+ Clear and Loud music (sufficient to fill one large room). one of the best in its price range (i.e.below 2000). Most of the budget speakers have 3W speaker, this one has 2 speakers of 3W power, hence it packs quite a punch in such a small size (far louder than Logitech X50, JBL go & Philips BT50)+ Support for controls related to call (accept/reject call, redial last no.), music track changes, volume control+ FM: Quite good reception. works standalone, no need to connect AUX cable. Although the user manual says AUX cable works as antenna & it should improve signal reception, I didn't feel any difference.+ Memory card support. you can play songs loaded on memory card as well as this acts as a memory card reader. So when you connect it to computer, you can add/delete contents of memory card (NOT TESTED)+ USB cable and AUX cable is provided in the box, which is usually not the case with budget speakers+ it remembers the volume an the mode (FM/Bluetooth/...) which was being used last time. a welcome addonCons:none at all.Minor caveats:- volume is extremely low while using aux cable. Hence the cable is almost useless for me. I don't intend to use it anyway, hence no issues- You can take calls using this speaker as hands-free, but the same is not recommended as the other person complained about unclear voice during the call. In my case, hands-free was an add-on, hence no offense.- battery backup is reported to be ~4-5 hours, which is kind of okay given the loud volume it produces as compared to the other speaker in same rangeOverall: A well built, powerful speaker with lots of features including FM support (a valuable feature for me). This one seems to be the best one under 2000/-. You simply can't go wrong with this if you are on a budget constraint. For anyone looking for a budget portable speaker (especially with FM), I would suggest to go for it without a second thought

This is going to be a pretty long review so either prepare or don’t readI bought this speaker because I hated the tinny and it was too quiet. When I opened Amazon, I searched Bluetooth speakers and I saw this is in the list and it was within my price budget. I decided on this because I already had a Portronics Pure Sound POR-102 2.0 Portable Speaker System which was not Bluetooth enabled. When I took this from the box when it arrived, the first thing I noticed was how compact it was and the built quality was nice. It looks really durable and it also looks stylish with all the stiching. So let me break down this product into its Pros and Cons:Pros:1. It is compact. You can easily carry this with one hand even if you have small hands.2. Built quality: This thing's is built very nicely. It is much better than my old Portronics. I don't how this will hold up when I accidentally drop it though. I dropped my old Portronics a couple of times and it was still working so I thing this will fare even better3. Sound quality: Well this thing sounds good for a speaker in this price range. The sound quality is actually a little bit worse than my old speaker but maybe it is just me. You shouldn't compare it to a Bose or Sonos speaker. Those cost like 10 times more.4. Functions: It can serve as a Bluetooth speaker, a FM radio, can be used as an external speaker through AUX input and can read songs from a Micro SD card.5. USB pass through port: You must charge this device through Micro USB at 5V at 1A. But if you have an SD card and you need to add some new songs, you don't need to remove the SD card. You can just connect the speaker via Micro USB to your computer and copy songs simply. It will come really handy if you don't have or lost your Micro SD to USB adapter.6. Battery life: It has a 1000mAh battery which can last 4-5 days with my light-moderate usage.7. Rubber feet: It has rubber feet which really grips onto where you place it so it doesn't fall or scratch the surface. My older speaker had plastic feet which were just ok.Cons:1. Volume rockers: Well this device has no volume rockers. To increase or decrease volume, you have to long press the forward or backwardbuttons which is extremely inconvenient for me. I mean come on Portronics was it very hard and cost too much to add two buttons. It is veryhard to make fine adjustments in volume. But the upside is if you are connected via Bluetooth, on most phones, when you increase ordecrease volume inphone, it increases the volume of the speaker and vice versa. You might be thinking it is understood that if you increase volume on phone,the volume of the speaker will increase. I will explain the vice versa situation: if you increase volume on the speaker, the phone shows that volume is increasing. This situation is a little hard to explain.2. No FM station memory: It will search again when you change the station. You cannot save the frequency of the station which is a littleinconvenient but it is okay. My older speakers also didn't have this feature.Overall I think this is a very good Bluetooth speaker for its price and I will recommend this one. If you have read the whole review then I congratulate you.

Good sound ,fm is also good

Pros : Sound quality and bass are awesomeU can feel the bassGives the perfect output sound at high volumeBuild quality is best which makes it shockproof and also water resistantFM and memory card slot are good in workingCons : One thing which made me unhappy its battery life only 1000mah and it gives me only 3 hours backup at full volume constantlyIf u r not worried about battery then go for it best choiceAfter using 4 months there is a sound disturbance when it is at high volumeI go to service centre they said to me that replacement will be done but you have to wait 2 months and they took my faulty product with box and all accessories. So that i will suggest all of you to keep all accessories.Bad service from service centre.

I bought Portronics POSH II after reviewing a number of reviews and comparisons. This was a gift for my wife and she is very happy with the sound quality, battery life and other features of the speaker.Since it is a Bluetooth speaker hence connectivity matters a lot which is stable and very easy to pair.The sound quality is soothing and audible in all rooms of a small 3 BHK apartment.Bass level is not very deep but decentBattery longs more than 4-6 hours (though not tested rigorously)Charging takes around 2-3 hours with indication on topOther feature are like FM radio, Mic for answering phone calls, Aux, USB connectivity with PC etc.overall I am happy but it would have been really great at 1500/-Regarding delivery: I received parcel within 2 days. I feel its super fast. Good job Amazon and Widgets India :)

This wireless bluetooth speaker is worth buying.
