5.0 out of 5 stars Great device! May 31, 2012

By WindWaterNWheels

I bought the ST-69BTS about a month ago and it has exceeded my expectations. Easy to pair, easy to use, very portable, louder than I expected (and I didn't expect a lot from a 3" cube), and stylish. The 2 speakers provide very good sound and I can feel the bass on the table. I like that it plays while being charged. Battery life is very good and quick charging. I bought this for company presentations so I could place the speaker any where in the room. I am typically in board rooms and this allows audio to be in the middle of the group for all to hear. So much better than my laptop speakers or having wires across the tabletop. I find myself using it all the time around the house and outside while grilling and socializing. Well worth the investment.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good speaker but overhyped January 14, 2013

By J. Layman

I purchased the Satechi ST-69BTS to replace a Logitech bluetooth speaker that had to be plugged in. I like to listen when showering and the Logitech was taking up too much real estate on the counter. The charge the Satechi holds allows me to go about two weeks listening at loud volume at about 15 minutes at a time.
I found the reviews on Amazon to be a little too praising of this speaker. It is a GOOD speaker but it's not a great speaker. I know there was a previous model, then Satechi didn't sell it for a while, later bringing back a redesigned version. I have the redesigned version and can't speak on the original design.
Volume is adequate but not overly loud. I have a very small bathroom and listen at full volume while in the shower. Sound is crisp and clear all the way to maximum with no distortion. Many reviews praise this speaker for it's bass which I don't understand. It is a small speaker and as would be expected, at least to me, has little to no bass. I even have it situated in a corner. No clue where people are getting the great bass opinions from. It doesn't have great bass when compared to a big speaker, it doesn't have great bass for a small speaker. It just doesn't have hardly any bass.
The bluetooth connects quickly and reconnects to the same device even after the speaker is powered off. The only problem is that it will ONLY connect to one device. If you pair it with a second device, you have to go back and re-pair the first device if you want to use it again. This caused a huge problem for me because I had my iPhone paired initially. I left my iPhone downstairs in the den, which is right below the bathroom. I then wanted to use my iPad with the device. It kept connecting to my iPhone downstairs and would not allow me to pair to the iPad which was a foot away. To switch from one device to the other, if they are both in range, I have to make sure the current device is powered off or the bluetooth is turned off before pairing the second. Inconvenient.
The buttons on the unit which allow control of the paired device from the unit itself are very convenient. Unfortunately, I don't like the feel of the buttons. They are mushy with a click at the end of the press. They constantly feel like they are going to break. There is also an annoying delay between the time you press the button to power the unit on and the time it actually turns on. I often question whether I've push the button correctly.
I really like the speaker but it has enough cons that I don't love the speaker. I am going to give it four stars based on the product alone. If I were to take price into account, I would give it three stars. There is one company selling the exact same speaker under a different brand name for $100. At $50, I still feel it is over priced for what you get. I would say $30-$35 would be a fair price for the Satechi ST-69BTS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazed! This speaker Rocks July 18, 2012

Read a review on endgadget regarding a phoenix speaker which is basically the same as this speaker except about $50 bucks more and in Red not black. Picked this satechi speaker up and Im amazed at the sound it puts out and distortion free. Easily synced to my Galaxy S3 and I'm listening to tunes on the deck as I type this. I would highly recommend this speaker if your in the market. Shipped from CA to the east coast in 3 days.
