This is the second of this speaker that I have purchased, the sound on it, I find is awesome, and loud, the lights are cool, and when this one came on sale I bought it right away, so I could pair it with the one I already had. With two of these I have no need for a whole stereo system I just use a bluetooth dongle plugged into the headphone Jack of my TV, and then I have full wireless stereo speakers that will last all day and evening, that sound awesome.
