Craig Electronics CMA3532A-BK Aluminum Case Ultra Sound Speaker

Love my Craig so much I bought a couple more.It's really small, but has big sound! I listen to my ipod while working in the yard, in the kitchen, anywhere I want a speaker and don't have one. We went and painted a rental property, and this little Craig ROCKED the entire apartment for two days!

I Love this thing. It has great sound. My only complaint is the battery doesn't last long while on bluetooth. It gives me, maybe, an hour of juice before I have to plug it back in. It's easy to charge, but can be a pain. Great for the price I paid, so I'm not complaining too much.

Not as loud as you would expect

I have a red one and it was great; so I decided to get this one. But the red one is blue tooth; i which this one was too, but it is no big deal it still sound great and loud.

I specifically ordered the standard (non bluetooth) item and expected it to have all the buttons shown in the standard picture but sadly it doesn't. There is a hi-low-off button but no other volume adjustment, no EQ button or a pause/play button at all. Some of the songs on my MP3 player are recorded at a higher volume than others and when one of the songs with better sound quality i.e. higher volume plays, I have to adjust the volume on my mp3 player so I don't blast everyone at the office. The off button doesn't always turn it off immediately either. I have to keep pressing the button to turn it off.....not good when the boss walks in. Also, I would have preferred to choose the color so I could hide it discreetly on my desk but can't do that with the red one I was sent. I think I will go back to my ear buds and attach the MP3 player to my pants pocket or skirt waist band after slipping it down the back of my shirt as that is much more discreet and it's easy to pop one of the ear buds out if I need to hear someone talk to me.

Craig Portable Bluetooth Speaker ReviewSCORESAt suggested retail: 2At my purchase price of $7.50: 4I recently purchased the Craig CMA3532BT Bluetooth Portable Speaker at a local national discount store on sale for $7.50 from their price of $15.00. It was available in silver, black, red, and blue. There were some slight variations in quality among the stock.I was looking for a Bluetooth speaker primarily for speech with background music to use with my iPad 2 during meetings and as an auxiliary with my Android phone. For these function's it serves fine, provides additional volume, and gives me about 15 to 20 feet of range.It uses a built-in lithium battery that is charged using a USB port. The cable is provided along with a standard 3.5 mm audio connection to a computer, cell, tablet, etc. You need to purchase a USB AC power adapter to power from a wall plug.Bluetooth easily connected with the iPad and my LG Android phone. It would not connect with my 3 year old ASUS Netbook (though I can Bluetooth the iPad to the ASUS and pass audio to the high quality speakers attached to it). It charged in about 1.5 - 2 hours and gave me between 3.5 to 4 hours of play.The sound quality is Poor. The sound is rather "tinny" and nasal, never matching even the limited range of the iPad speaker. Music is also tainted. You can't expect much dynamic range or low frequency response from a speaker this size, but I was hoping the sound quality would be more realistic through the voice range and at least match the iPad's speaker. It did not improve with a direct audio connection.There are many speakers on the market in this category (bottom end). If you don't need Bluetooth, you can find some very nice performing wired speakers in the $20 range (search Amazon). If you require Bluetooth, I have found several good sounding units in the $35 range.

the product works but looks nothing like the picture of the product i was wanting there's no buttons on the product like in the picture.

Tremendous, rich sound comes from this little speaker!! Easy to use, easy to charge. A little carrying case or pouch would be a nice addition. I highly recommend this speaker.
