Decent sound, terrible speakerphone.
If you're just going to use it to listen to music then consider my review 4 stars. I set my expectations low for sound quality based on its size and cost. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised in the quality of the sound from such a small speaker. At lower volumes, the sound was reasonably rich and full. As you increase the volume, you will notice that the bass will start to distort. I had planned to use it indoor and at around half of its volume range so it was not a problem for me. If you plan to use it outdoors or in a large area and crank it up, it's going to distort.The reason I knocked it down to 3 stars is the speakerphone performance. The speakerphone function didn't even work on the first unit I received. You could hear the person calling in but all they heard was noise. Amazon quickly replaced it with another unit and while it was better (no more constant noise), it was still very poor. You basically have to be right next to it or you won't be picked up by the built-in mic, and when it does pick you up, it's distorted making it difficult for the person calling you to understand what you're saying.I got this for my wife to use in the kitchen. She wanted to listen to music and I wanted her to be able to take calls hands free. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that you could be a few feet away when trying to use it as a speakerphone so the 2nd unit is going back, as well.If all you want is a nice little Bluetooth speaker and don't want to crank it up to 11, give it a shot. If you want a decent speakerphone, look elsewhere.

If you're looking for the BEST..
I knew this speaker was amazing as soon as I received it. I got it on a Kindle deal for a steal of $40. I wish I bought 10 of them. I've had it for a while now and nothing compares. I brought it to work and everyone loved it. I ended up leaving it there for other people to use when I wasn't there. After a while of missing it I purchased the Oontz Angle, with its promise of being supirior to most Bluetooth speakers at a "steal" of $40, to replace my beloved GO. I tested the Oontz Angle out at home and wasn't impressed at all. Not 5 minutes after I switched them out at work I was asked "What happened to the bass?" This speaker is worth more than $80. The sound is perfect. Even in loud environments.

Awesome little speaker
I bought this speaker to use with my Kindle fire to watch movies and it is awesome It produces some serious high quality sound with good bass for such a little speaker and the movies sound great. I heard the Boss Soundlink Mini in a store and it is awesome and is better then this speaker but is also twice the price and not positive it is worth it for the extra cost for what i use it for. I couldn't justify the extra money and now that i have this speaker i see i didn't make a mistake. The only issue with mine is the speaker phone, when i use it the person on the other end gets a lot of feedback. I have heard that there was a issue with some of the microphones and i contacted there customer service and will update when i hear back from them. But since i didn't buy it for that i am more then happy with this speaker.

Great speaker, but speakerphone feature not working on mine
This speaker is awesome! It's super small and looks great, but don't let it's size deceive you, it's sound can get extremely loud and it even has a great Bass kick to it!!! Very impressed with the speaker, all my roomates were super impressed and may even buy one for themselves!Only gave it 3 stars however because the speakerphone feature is not working for me. I think there is a problem with the built-in microphone (I'm assuming it works on the majority of their products). I can answer the call and hear the other person talking, but they cannot hear me. I emailed customer support today (it comes with a 2yr manufacturer warranty, so I'm hoping there will be no issues) and will update my star rating accordingly if they fix this issue for me.

Blew Me Away
This was an unbelievably good purchase for $40. Sound is pure, clear. The bass thumps and the volume can blow you away. There's so much power packed in this little speaker that I'm going to buy a couple more just to place around the house. This gives SONOS and Bose strong competition and they would do well to understand this threat to their market: those looking for portable music with quality sound at a reasonable price. I intend to buy a newer iPod nano and I'm done.

Really nice compact speaker. Not much luck for me with the speakerphone.
Our toddlers love music and we use this all the time for them. This speaker is small and gives a decent, though not overwhelming volume. The sound rarely distorts and the range is good. We seem to get a solid 3-4 hours or so of real world listening. The build quality seems good. My only gripe is that I have not had good luck with using this as a speakerphone on my Galaxy S3. That's not really what I bought it for, so not a big deal. I have not tried the speakerphone with other brands of phone so it could just be a problem with my particular phone.

Was purchased as a gift - recipient says it works great
I purchased this as a Christmas present for my housemate. He loves listening to his music on this phone while doing chores or showering and used to use a corded speaker he had to lug around. Now he can wirelessly connect his phone to a great sounding speaker using bluetooth. He also has a habit of leaving his phone on his desk when he's doing other things, and has often missed calls or texts because of that. But now he hears his notifications when he's at the other end of the house from his phone.

Great size factor and performance.
Last Christmas, I received as a gift a great little bluetooth speaker made by the brand that begins with B and ends in E. I read about this one and I said to me that it would be interesting a comparative exercise. I would buy Simple Audio without hesitation. Good volume to a single room, great design and recognizable quality. This people is taking in consideration the size factor and performance as key in their product. I am using my laptop to watch videos and listen music. I bought a software program on Internet that helps to equalize the sound. Setting this software in Jazz or Rock mode and the Simple Audio Go is filling the dinning room with good music in a superb way.

Good sound but there is a delay
Great sounding bluetooth speaker, one of the best ones I think. Easy to pair and use. Comes with a nice cloth carrying pouch. One issue I have is that there is a delay in the audio. When I'm playing a video, the sound lags by half a sec. When playing games, it's the same, the sound doesn't not sync up with the action which is irritating. I've used other bluetooth speakers before without this issue.

Keep Shopping
This product worked great! At first. After a summer of use however, it began disconnecting itself from whatever it was connected to. It will chime every few seconds as it looks for new bluetooth devices to connect with. This even happens if I use the line-in function.

Nice speaker, a bit cold sounding.
Pros: portable, loud, pairs easily, good battery life, very easy to useCons: a little cold sounding, tends to distort a bit at loud volumesAll in all I'm very happy with the speaker for the price.

Good for small areas
Good for small areas. You lose sounds quality if you try to turn it TOO loud or if in a big room. Easy to use, excellent Bluetooth connection.
