There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I bought two of these. One for me and one for someone else. We have had them for over two years now. Neither has ever failed. The sound isn't Bose but it is still pretty awesome considering it is only 14 watts. Must be due to the superior work inside the speaker. The sound really is very good. I have cranked this speaker up to its maximum volume and there was no distortion. The sound quality remained excellent.
I also often use this speaker for watching movies on my laptop. Rarely are speakers, on a laptop, fantastic. So, this portable speaker allows me to have a more immersive experience while I'm streaming a show or movie on my laptop. The sound is amazing for this as well.
The battery life is amazingly long. It really is 20 hours of continuous play! What I like about it is that if you stop playing your music, but forget to turn the speaker off, eventually it will turn itself off, which saves on the battery. Additionally, it charges back up pretty fast.
It always quickly connects to whatever device I'm pairing it with. This includes my laptop or my phone. And its promise of a 100 foot range has been tested multiple times. This surprised me and I was glad to see that it delivered on this promise.
It's triangular design makes it more stable and less likely to be knocked over (better center of gravity). It's weight is lighter than other portable speakers I've owned. To the point where it is light enough to carry, in one hand, while going on a long walk (if you want to take your music with you and listen to it). It really is that light. And, the triangular design makes it easier to carry around.
The cover for its connections works very well to keep it waterproof. However, the cover is still easy to open which isn't always true for waterproof devices. Also, this cover is attached to the device. This means when you temporarily take it off to charge it (or connect with wires), you won't lose the cover.
It says it can go under 3 feet of water. I haven't tested this out but do bring it into the shower daily. Its waterproof rating means that shower water running over it won't harm the speaker. I'm hoping, in the future, to have an opportunity to test it under water! If nothing else, I'd like to take it to the beach. That's another reason why this is an excellent speaker - you have to be really careful on taking any electronics to the beach, even if you don't plan on taking it into the water. Why? Normally, these things can ruin an electronic: the salty air, the sand, and any unintended splashes with salt water. However, this speaker would be perfect for the beach because it's built to withstand all of this!
Another great feature about this speaker is you can connect multiple ones together to give yourself surround sound. Considering the incredibly reasonable price of these speakers, it makes it more reasonable (cost-wise) to do this. The controls, on the side, or easy to read and very easy to use.
I highly recommend this speaker. It will last for a long time and will deliver everything it promises.
These are still going strong! Just used one of them as a phone speaker and it worked great. Clear with no echo. Has not lost sound quality or battery life. I cannot stress enough: these sound waaay better than their price suggests. Get a pair of them and pair them blue tooth, and you will be very pleased. The bass is so good that you cannot place these speakers where loose objects are or they will make them vibrate. These little speakers will also walk off a shelf due to the bass they put out so make sure there is a ledge or something to keep them from falling off a shelf or rail on your patio.
Updated 5-4-19:
I returned the Anker Soundcore II due to the speaker losing bass and the power button went wonky. Anker did step up and sent me FOR FREE an Anker SoundCore Boost 20W Bluetooth Speaker with BassUp Techno! These sound way better than a single Oontz Angle 3 Ultra, way better. But, I would take a pair of the OontZ speakers and listen in stereo. You can get 2 Oontz Angle 3 Ultars for the price of one Anker. The Anker speaker rocks, but stereo is much better listening experience.
Oh, Anker upgraded my speaker and honored the warranty even though 30 day window had passed.
CHANGES TO ORIGINAL REVIEW:
1. The OontZ Angle 3 Ultra (oa3u) sounds better in bass and full sound than the Anker Soundcore II (ASII). Not as clear in the highs but better overall sound
2. Higher volumes, the OAS3U beats the ASII.
3. While not suited for a outdoor party filled with drinking friends who are talking loudly, they are more than adequate for a family gathering where people are talking but not drunk. More for patio than yard use.
4. When used with jetAudio EQ, these little speakers sound extremely good and the bass moves up, while not distorting.
I listened to the following songs and compared these OA3U speakers with the ASII: Damian Marley - All Night; Depeche Mode - Lie To Me; Supertramp - Oh Darling; Level 42 - Something About You. Each of therse songs NEED to have bass and the OA3U won when playing each of these songs. Still like the ASII, but the OA3U are better.
Review is for: OontZ Angle 3 Ultra (OA3U)Dual Portable Bluetooth Speaker
I wanted to let those searching for a great speaker for a budget price and good sound, you have found it. I have tried, used and enjoyed the following speakers:
-Harmon-Kardan Onyx Studio II (pair)
-JBL: Clip; Clip+; Flip; Flip II; Charge
-LG PK3
-Anker Soundcore II
-Aomais Sport II Portable 4.0
These pair easily, but not intuitively. Read the pages 14-15 of the getting started manual and you are set. They even play a stored sound file that tells you which is the left and right channel. It plays in true stereo.
For under a $75 for a pair of good BT speakers, that PAIR in true stereo, pump out good (not great) bass and are loud, this purchase is a no brainer.
Out of a 4 Class system defined by me:
-Class 1: HK Onyx Studio II
-Class 2: JLB Charge II and subsequent models; OontZ Angle 3XL ULTRA; LG PK3
-Class 3: Flip-Flip X, Soundcore II, Oontz Angle Ultra III
-Class 4: JBL Clip and similar pocket speakers.
FOR ITS CLASS, this is at the top! In fact I am unsure if these speakers should move up a class when paired!
I tried the Aomais brand speakers but they were too weak on bass, thoguh they are also true stereo. The Soundcore II actually sounds the best of Class 3, but it does not pair to play stereo. I would have gone with a pair of Anker Soundcore II if they played in true stereo. The SC II handles bass the best, and rival or beat Bose Soundlink II Mini.
If you are going with one speaker under $50 and do not care about playing in stereo, the Anker Soundcore II beats the OA3U across the board. How? The bass is better, the rest is quality highs and lows and MOST of the volume range.
The OA3U remain paired to each other even after turned off and then turned back on. In fact, you should disconnect BT connection if you use several devices with the OA3U or you will will have to go find the last device you paired them with and disconnect the BT. These pair with only one device at a time.
Listening to "Holding Back the Years" - Simply Red. Without at least some decent bass this song would be ruined. Also listened to "How 'Bout Us" - Champaign and "I Wanna get Next to You" - Rose Royce. All three of these songs require good bass to do them justice and these OA3U speakers do them justice. Whoa, Rush "Tom Sawyer" now playing. Decent bass for this song but this type of song needs the volume and bass of the HK Onyx Studio II CRANKED up. However, the little OA3U speakers are holding their own.
"Black" - Pearl Jam, sounding good! Damn good and I have the speakers at about 65% ZERO distortion.
Finally, these are NOT outdoor party, fill the yard with sound and drown out the guests. These are great indoor speakers (that can be used outdoors thanks to IPX rating) and are more than adequate for a good sized living room. People expect whichever speaker they are buying to be light, have a 24 hour battery and pump out at night club quality bass for less than $100, ain't happening. That said, these are way above their pay grade.
Top reviews from other countries
Mission parameters: Bluetooth speaker must have IPX7 (or similar) rating, with buttons to control volume, play/pause and especially forward/backward. Gotta skip those adverts.
I considered MANY speakers before settling on the OontZ Angle 3 Ultra. If I recall correctly, it was a random comment on Reddit that put me onto the Cambridge speaker. (Note to self: track down that Redditor and reward with a beer.)
The speaker couldn't really do the job more perfectly. The sound quality was an upgrade on my previous, cheaper speaker - mainly louder and richer. I'm not an audiophile, and I'm not generally playing high quality music on this. Horses for courses. (Note: don't buy this speaker for your horse. It will not be appreciated.)
I love the separate buttons for the functions I require. No need to remember to triple press one button to skip a track, and quadruple-press another button while sacrificing a goat during the Winter Solstice in the presence of an Indian Yogi to decrease the volume. I'm in my "morning fog" when I shower. Simple is good.
The price was great. The functionality is spot on. The sound is more than adequate for my needs. It does a bunch of multi-speaker-gimmicky things I'll never use, but you might. Hoorah.
Mission accomplished.
Bonus tip: If you're looking for an excellent, customisable podcast app for Android, get Podcast Republic. Trust me.
