This little lightweight speaker punches well above its weight
This speaker is by far the best value speaker in the sub $50 range. It has a fantastic build quality which has proven to be durable in my time of owning this speaker as I've dropped it twice and not one scratch or scuff.In the box you get the speaker, a USB cable for charging and AUX cable to connect to other devices via the 3.5mm headphone jack. Its simple but just what you need with this little gem.The speaker itself is made of a rubberized plastic and is wrapped in a thicker speaker cloth, it has a power/bluetooth pairing button, volume up and down buttons and a play pause button, all easy to see, feel and use.When it comes to pairing the Sbode, its simple. All you need to do is press and hold the power button on the device, you will get a voice prompt telling you power is on and then pairing mode. This is when you connect your device. It connects fast with no issues. My Note 9 connected straight away.Once paired you can play your music from your device with ease and this is where this speakers shines, which is where it should shine. I have heard $100 speakers not sound as good as this little guy, it has good bass, with good to decent mids and highs. I was very very surprised with the sound quality of this device. The 2 6w speakers really do pump out the noise in a pleasant way.This also includes an FM radio for when you dont want to listen to your device. It also allows use of an SD card so you dont even need to be connected to a device. Just pop in your SD card and thats it, it will play all your music.The battery states 6 hours of use, ive used it for around 4.5 hours and had no issues though it does take a whopping 4 hours to charge.The band to carry the speaker is also helpful but i do wish that band was actually was big enough to go around your wrist as this would make it even easier to carry.This speaker also carries and IPX6 certification which means water resistance. so in the rain you wont have an issue, drop it in a puddle then you wont have an issue, drop it in the pool and guess what.. You got it no issues.Its a great speaker to which i cant speak highly enough about, at under $35 this is killer and the speaker to get in the sub $75 range.I have done a video review on YouTube for this also, ModrnDad is the name if you wanted to watch and listen to the quality it outputs

Could be louder but works well
Update -10/2/2018:I mentioned in my initial rating that I had problems with bluetooth pairing with my iPhone but finally got it work. Today, I decided to pair my Apple Watch 3. After several attempts (up to 15 minutes at a time) the Sbode speaker would not show on the Apple Watch. No other device I have had bluetooth on. I even re-booted the watch and still could not pair with the speaker. I tried two other bluetooth speakers and each paired easily with my Apple Watch. This is important to me so I can listen to music on the speaker if I do not have my phone. For this reason, I am changing my review from 4 Stars to 3 Stars.. I am also considering returning the speaker as there appears to be an issue with this speaker's bluetooth and pairingOne of the bluetooth speakers I own is an 8 watt Clearon speaker with TF card and FM radio similar to the Sbode. The Clearon is actually louder mainly because its volume controls are independent of my iPhone 6’s volume controls so I can adjust it louder. The Sbode does sound clearer and has a lttle more bass than the Clearon.I can do without the somewhat loud voice announcements for power on/off and modes: Bluetooth, SD card and FM radio. Not a deal breaker but I would have preferred lower voice prompts.The initial Bluetooth pairing was not as smooth as I read from other reviews. It did take longer than the other bluetooth speakers I own but the speaker did finally pair. The TF card mode worked well. When it came time to scan the FM radio stations, I went outside thinking I would get more of the stations I listen too but not all my favorite stations came in. I then re-scanned the stations inside and stations that did not scan outside did scan inside but others that scanned outside did not scan inside. I then plugged in an audio cable in the Auxiliary port, changed the mode back to FM and scanned a third time. This time the main stations I listen too all scanned fine.If I wasn’t able to scan my stations, I was going to return the speaker because I feel all included features should work. Now that bluetooth, TF and FM modes are working satisfactorily, I will most likely keep this speaker. Since the ends of the speakers (with the Sbode names) are not enclosed, I doubt I will take this speaker to the beach. I and not sure if sand may damage the open ends.All in all, the sound is good. So you worn’t be disappointed, don’t expect super bass but it is decent and with the added TF and FM card modes and the price, this is a very good speaker to own.

Plays Micro SD memory cards
This speaker has a couple of unique features that none of my other Bluetooth speakers have:The best is the ability to play MP3 songs from a Micro SD card. These memory cards are ridiculously cheap now days. You can buy a card for 10 bucks and fill it with hundreds and hundreds of tracks, pop it into the Micro card slot on the speaker and play your favorite songs all day long. It appears the tracks are played in their order on the card. It would be nice to have a "shuffle" option.It also has a built-in FM tuner. Since there is no digital display, you have to "scan" thru the stations until you reach the one you desire. There's no external antenna, so it pulls in mostly stations with a strong signal. Even so, it's still a very cool feature to have.The sound quality and bass are amazing for such a small speaker, and loud enough to use outside. I guess you and link two of these together wirelessly and have true Left - Right stereo from the pair.

Great speaker for the money with big bass
Thise Sbode Bluetooth speaker is perfect for portability as it's about the size of a coke can. It's a little shorter and wider than a 12 oz coke can. It has a nylon cord for easy carry. The port is covered by rubber cover so it prevents liquid from getting into the speaker. This speaker has some nice features so as FM Radio mode, MicroSD slot for music files without internet, Aux port, and MicroUSB port for charging.The sound quality is superb for such a small speaker and it's got a decent amount of bass for rock, rap, r&B and other music styles. I took this work and it work out great in a noisy factory atmosphere. Overall I would buy it again at this price.
