OK, OK…let’s see…what else could we turn into bluetooth speakers other than light bulbs?? Backpacks…now that would almost make sense. Electric toothbrushes so you can dance while you brush?? A foodsaver?
OMFG I’ve been waiting for this day. I just have to post my thoughts after buying these last time!
This is the best thing ever. It’s a light. It’s a speaker. Unlike so much junk here, it even works. Great. Right out of the box.
But should you buy it? F-no! It’s not a good light, it’s not a good speaker. It sounds like the PA system in your 1950’s high school, or an AM radio in a 1968 Nova. The FACTORY radio. The light is, well, below average.
I’m going to change out the one in the kitchen whenever I get up the energy to get the ladder from out back. Probably stick back in an old light that doesn’t even have a speaker.
Pair one to an Alexa Dot. Now Alexa can speak from either side of the bed in case you wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Or if you just wanted to confuse your partner.
@mrkenneth But how can you sleep with the speaker on and light off, mine leave a small one LED region on when the others are “off.” I asked MEH about it and they didn’t write back. Used to buyer’s remorse here so.
@candismilesatu It is not an arbitrary and capricious hatred of Bluetooth speaker bulbs. These are dim (according to their specs) and sound crappy (according to meh reviews).
I got these last time they were trying to get rid of them.
The smaller light/speaker is pretty crappy – but the larger one works pretty well. I put one in my laundry room and it’s nice to play some tunes while folding clothes and stuff. I also put one in my garage.
Overall I’m pretty happy with this stupid piece of shit.
I wouldn’t say these are crappy, just hard to make practical. The small one fits most places but is super dim. The big one has a “meh” amount of light, but is HONKIN HUGE.
Sound quality? I actually think it’s just fine. I use one in the bathroom fan/light vent for shits 'n giggles (YouTube while crappin). I’m happy with it for that.
Their best function is to add audio to places with few/no available power outlets, but there IS a light bulb socket. Back porch, garage, tool shed. Just be aware that it’s a bit dim (and has no dimmer btw - not for use in dimmer switch either).
I bought on the last meh, 2 large 2 small and they are very meh. The pairing worked on almost all of the devices that I tried. They seem to run warm, which I am a little concerned about.
My main gripe is that when you turn “off” the LED with the remote so it is supposed to be just a speaker, it leaves one LED in the array on. That’s why I put “off” in quotes.
I sent an email to Meh Support AND NEVER HEARD BACK NOT ONE PEEP AFTER THE AUTOMEH.
If you think you might want to use one of the 4 positions where it is a speaker and not a light I suggest simply a Meh and not a buy.
Mehtizens…I need to see more of your pets. They are like pet “crack” to me and my kids. So go home, take a pic and post it here: https://meh.com/forum/topics/pets-pets-pets-show-me-yours--------part-deux
Thank you in advance for posting them. And if you don’t I will hunt you down and take the pic myself. @capguncowboy, sorry for pimping your pup out.
YOU GUYS!!! Your posts totally convinced me that these are right for every use (lighting an entire stadium, playing super high quality Pono Player music, cutting steak, etc.)! I bought mine and can’t wait for them to arrive and completely change my life!

Fastest meh click ever
@somf69 Amen!
Meh really needs to stop with the crap tier speakers every other day.
Speaking of meh lights – bright idea!
@AttyVette i do declare you have used that pun already /before
@CrossIT yes as pun ishment
Meh to the max.
@conandlibrarian Those department head meetings are getting really intense.
Confusing because the button says 2 for $30 but you actually get 4.
@support yep, we changed it to “4 for $30” instead of trying to convey that it’s 2 2-packs.
I guess that makes me a sadist.
I enjoy mine. Excellent bathroom speaker for showering and morning prep routine. Stream Bloomberg right into this bad boy.
@connorbush Yep, they aren’t great, but they have uses.
@Tin_Foil I came into the thread to ask what people use these for. I am pleasantly surprised to find people already discussing this.
Already own more of these than I need, but at least it wasn’t cups.
the other thread is great! https://meh.com/forum/topics/play-this-audio-through-your-awox-striimlight-bluetooth-led-speaker-light-2
I already have access to music throughout my house. Otherwise, I would have loved this.
already 15 suckers…meh
Darn, I was hoping to see pillows for sale.
Well, goodnight.
@JT954 Pillows? Sorry - this is meh. They only sell sacks of concrete.
Maybe 2 for $15 would tempt me, but 4 for $30 is just meh.
OK, OK…let’s see…what else could we turn into bluetooth speakers other than light bulbs?? Backpacks…now that would almost make sense. Electric toothbrushes so you can dance while you brush?? A foodsaver?
Hmmm…anyone else have any suggestions?
@eeterrific A laminator! A frickin laminator!!
@eeterrific um, gloves to take calls with?
@eeterrific um, bluetooth speaker, ipad charger, and toilet tissue dispenser combo for the win?
@eeterrific A bluetooth fry pan?
To answer the question: Is it done, yet?
@eeterrific
@eeterrific Self explanatory.
We can expect these to land here very soon…
@eeterrific more yumminess.
@mike808 I would buy multiples of the bra! No cancer worries there.
@eeterrific How about a bluetooth egg tray:
@thismyusername I have the Hidrate bottle. It does not work very well. Cannot recommend.
@eeterrific A Dildo. Think of the things you could have it say.
@Skotyman Would you buy one from meh?
Are they dimmable? Specs don’t say. Or is that a dimming slider on the remote?
@Sarahsda not dimmable.
Is a lightbulb subwoofer offered also?
I tried them. They blew the circuit. I promptly stuffed them back in a box to use for presents for people I don’t like.
Will you ever have that Region Free Blu-ray Player again?
@xego
What? These are not auto feed scanners ?
$7.50 each … fine, I’ll buy some. I’m still blaming @sammydog01 for no good reason, though.

Now I need a good soundbar deal.
@richlangston007 You talked me out of it! Thanks for speaking up.
@rambopandabear The larger of the two light/speakers actually has a full rich sound. The smaller is rather tinny.
@mbaine Interesting…thanks!
be aware that 110 lumens is really NOT much. I tried to put one of those in my bathroom fixture but it was just way too dim… think candelabra…
@chienfou So true. Most of my CFL bulbs are 900 lm.

So is it because these are so crappy or a general hatred of bluetooth speaker bulbs that meh is the concensensus because I’ve wanted to buy a couple?
@candismilesatu It is not an arbitrary and capricious hatred of Bluetooth speaker bulbs. These are dim (according to their specs) and sound crappy (according to meh reviews).
@GLaDOS I’m just looking for something for the bethroom but I will keep looking. Thanks!
@candismilesatu Is a “bethroom” a combo bathroom/bedroom?
I got these last time they were trying to get rid of them.

The worst meh deal ever.
if they only had a lightning port…
i have never been so meh…
Get 4 bulbs, can connect to only one. This is me dancing in the bathroom without this… meh.
@mmietus0703 It’s Amazon pilot season. Check out Jean Claude Van Johnson.
@mehdaf I was so going to post the amazon pilots. The only one I really liked was The Tick (but I am also bias), I loved that cartoon.
@mfladd RIP Patrick Warburton
@mehdaf he is a producer on this one…
Only 10% THD? The brownies I got at my local “medicine shoppe” were 50%.
@MrNews If your brownies had 50% total harmonic distortion, perhaps you need to find a new pot shop.
/image stoner’s pot palace
@narfcake Well, these brownies go all the way up to eleven.
Uh can you bring back the arrangement of dog toys for me? Thanks
Mehtizens…I need to see more of your pets. They are like pet “crack” to me and my kids. So go home, take a pic and post it here:

@capguncowboy, sorry for pimping your pup out.
Coming soon to a Meh near you:
http://www.macrumors.com/2016/08/23/lg-new-bluetooth-speakers/
Your ad now says “Price: $4 for 30”
Just to clarify - that “$4 for 30” is showing on the Meh Stalker app, not on meh.com
So was 711 packages sold enough to kill them off? Because there are 5 minutes left on the sale and they’re still available for purchase.
YOU GUYS!!! Your posts totally convinced me that these are right for every use (lighting an entire stadium, playing super high quality Pono Player music, cutting steak, etc.)! I bought mine and can’t wait for them to arrive and completely change my life!
@happycollision kek
@happycollision Let us know how this works out, OK?
