I just needed something for listening to books in the shower because my phone volume isn't loud enough to hear from the bathroom and I'd rather not have to bring my phone into the shower itself. For five bucks, I definitely don't mind taking this in the shower (in fact, the first time I used this, I dropped it right in the bath...whoops...kept right going!).
Sound quality is pretty poor, at least at high volume, but it's not like I expected Bose quality at this price. I wouldn't be satisfied with this speaker if I wanted it for music, but I would've been willing to pay a bit more if that's what I was looking for. Like others, I'd really really like a volume control on the speaker itself. Pause, rewind, etc... controls would be nice too. Overall, a great value for the price, especially for what I was looking for, and I'd buy it again and again, but I just can't bring myself to give it 5 stars. I'd say it's value is twice what I paid for it, but keep in mind that at a value of $10, a BT speaker isn't exactly going to blow your mind in features or quality.
