I’ve tested quite a few of these small Bluetooth speakers, and this is one of the better ones out there. It has many very appealing features, but it’s not without few shortcomings.

Pros:

1. Compact, lightweight and battery-operated. These three features in conjunction with each other mean that this is a very portable speaker that can be placed almost anywhere.

2. Easily syncs with portable devices and other electronic equipment.

3. Decent, rich sound. I’ve listened to a few radio stations both on Pandora as well as through iTunes Radio, and all of them came though sounding pretty good. I especially enjoyed classical and some other easy listening stations. Techno and hard rock leave something to be desired, but even those stations were pretty good if you are not too demanding. This is not a speaker designed to gratify the die-hard audiophiles, but for casual listening it is more than adequate.

4. Good range. I was able to listen to this speaker while it was across the room from my iPhone, and even while it was in the next room. The range will definitely depend on the kinds of obstacles that you have between the speaker and the device you are sending the music from, but overall I would say that it works up to eighty to a hundred feet.

5. Nice design. I really like the look and feel of this speaker. It’s simple yet elegant shape fits very nicely with my home office decor. The lady handbag design is unique and very charming. It will certainly appeal to all the “girly” music lovers out there.

6. Good battery life. I was able to use this speaker for a few days while listening to music a few hours a day without recharging. For the most part I just leave it charging though through the included USB cable.

7. Inexpensive. This is one of the most affordable such speakers that I’ve come across.

Cons:

1. This is not a very loud speaker. Granted, the really powerful speakers with this form factor tend to be very expensive.

2. The “handles” of the handbag double as a support for a smartphone stand. They work OK for this purposes, but they are not the most sturdy stand that you’ll come across. In fact, the phone can be really easily knocked over when left in this position.
