Written By Mike, Leesburg,ga on Wednesday, May 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was a little shocked by the size of the pill when it arrived. I felt like I had been had by its tiny size. We were installing hardwood floors the first time I used it and was blown away by the quality of the sound in the room. If you like it loud this is your toy. Producing very rich lows and incredible highs. I will compare this with Bose any day. I have the cubes and the sound wave which cost a lot more. The size is perfect for the beach or a day at the lake. Well worth the money if you like quality sound! Pros: Size makes it very portable. Quality sound. The case to carry it in is cool and handy. Charge time seems to be handy. Very easy to interface with the iPhone Cons: Can only be connected to the iPhone via Bluetooth which may affect overall battery life (I think?)
