Well fuck. Here we go again, like a moth to a flame we find ourselves at the corner of impulsivity and temptation as we arrive at that dark alley next to that janky ass pawn shop. Twofer Tuesday emerges from the shadows, her whole body covered in speakers. She mutters softly, as you quietly here, "I am the speaker dock." She gets louder, "become the speaker dock, IT IS YOUR DESTINY!" She immediately begins throwing speakers at you and you can't help but get covered in them. You realize that there is no better life, than being a speaker dock. We are all now speaker docks. Embrace destiny.
I miss the days when I lived with the illusion of self-control. Do I need these? No. Should I buy them? Well, they're less than $5/ea. wanted-fleecy-degree
@christinewas If my girlfriend ever counts how many Bluetooth speakers I've ordered from Meh she will revoke my internet access. Even if she does use them too. Added to the count today...
Well, finally some waterproof music I can stick on down where I tie up my boat. It'll be nice to have that when I cast a few lines and enjoy a beer, and when it's time to do the end-of-season maintenance in another month. Yes, it looks like thanks to Meh I will finally have a speaker dock.
I've been watching this site for months, and in a weak state of mind finally purchased something. For $6, I couldn't refuse. Like everyone else, I really want purple.
@Kerig3 I almost edited my post last night to reflect that they were only resistant. At least for me, that's enough. I don't plan on taking them swimming. Maybe just stick one to the shower wall.
I got a red and pink one in the mail today! I tried it out and it works pretty great, even accidentally got a call while I had it connected to my phone and that worked surprisingly well! ONLY ONE CAVEAT! DO NOT, AS I HAVE DONE, STICK IT TO YOUR FOREHEAD. Yeah, sure it looks cool and feels kind of good, but you'll end up with a weird forehead hickey!
@thismyusername Can you please 'splain what you mean by that? I've had trouble logging in to Meh for about a week now, and I'm talking about 9 am EST. Is it not me and my special undetectable malware infection? That would be swell.
@thismyusername@OldCatLady Thanking you both, I am, although it was a chore just to get logged in to do that! Clicking on the link to this thread from my email takes me to a login screen that doesn't go anywhere. Silly Irk.
@cinoclav trying to figure out why one would stick this to a tablet - other than to be a kick-stand. Does it really sound that much better than the internal (stereo) speakers?
@RedOak Definitely as a kickstand. Would also work for most phones. I'd imagine the sound would be slightly better, though it would be emitting it away from you if used as a kickstand. Put it near a wall so it bounces back.
@saodell@cinolav we'll stick with our iPad Smartcover for that purpose. Elegant dual-angle kickstand+screen protection. Even tho it's getting pretty tattered. Time for some 3M weatherstrip adhesive.
I have one of these - they are pretty good. The rubber is a little tacky so they get grimy. The sound is ok and you can use them as speaker phones. More of a novelty for kids - fun to stick on things and go "look - my speaker is stuck to that smooth thing"
@Pufferfishy - right, but it's just 'dolphin', no 'fish'. :) And that one is small, maybe going 10#'s, so barely over being a "peanut", he's still just a 'slinger' (no need to grab him by hand, just sling him off the gaff into the boat/fishbox). It's a 'him' due to the blunt forehead; females have sloping foreheads. There, some priceless knowledge, to go along with your cheap Meh "waterspeaker". ;)
@Pufferfishy trust Florida people? Of course I do! I bought my golden ticket to heaven from this couple, but I stored it in my grill and it disappeared. Someone put a pile of ashes in its place!
@djslack You know this was fake, right? Right? Do not tell fibs about Florida. We don't need fake stories, we have Casey Anthony and Michael Dunn and Rick Scott and giant land crabs and 18 foot pythons.. http://www.snopes.com/media/notnews/goldentickets.asp
Received my order today. 4 speakers, 4 colors (Black, Zombie Green, Blue, Purple).
Paired one up to the TV. I have to say... I don't hate it. This is the first Bluetooth device I've owned, and I have to say... it's the best $3 Bluetooth speaker I have! It'll be perfect for watching TV later in the evening without having to turn up the volume and disturbing anyone.
Got mine, Purple and red! Stuck it to my forehead and used it paired to my phone to talk to my daughter. She said the mic picked up better stuck to my forehead than it did while I was holding it. I'm sure I looked pretty fab too.
Got mine as well. Red and Orange. I used the red one in the shower this morning. It sounded decent. I tried to skip tracks without looking at a manual, and I found that when you hold down the middle button it calls someone.. I hung up right away and after I was out of the shower I saw that I had called my mother.. oops.. haha..
Anyone know how to skip forward on these? I never did figure it out.
My 6 came today and they're even more adorable in person! That's 5 more items for my Christmas stash and one for me. I'm very tempted to keep them all though. They would be fun for a party.
If they are available again I'll definitely buy some more.
I still have these and they still work. I have since upgraded, but these still worked when I put them away. They were a little puny in sound for the shower because of the water coming down, but for the price and what they were, perfectly acceptable.
If you haven't already bought 3 by now, what are you waiting for? Think of your Christmas stash, people! If you have any children (or young-ish adults) in your life, they will love these.
glamorize-malleable-mimosa -- my very first purchase here-on/at/abouts -- of 4, because as others have said, just 2 feels like I'm failing to take advantage of a great deal, but I can't imagine finding a way to use 6. Popped for the VMP while at it, so now I'll feel obligated to find something more to buy in days to come. Come-on, Mehnizens, don't make me regret it!
Got mine as well and they don't sound half bad for costing only $3 each. Even better, I charged one up fully and let it play some random pop music over bluetooth at one notch below max volume and after over an hour, it was still blasting away. Might get a couple of more as gifts if they come up again at the same price.
I got these before the flash drives and they are kinda fun. They stick well as my one is still stuck to the wall overnight. I got it to stick to my 4yr'd back as she ran around dancing to frozen songs. They I got to watch her try to take it off.
Got mine in...wish I had ordered more than 1 set. I got a black and a red, wish it had been purple and pink but oh well. Works well for the wife in the kitchen, stuck to the microwave and forgot about it until the low battery beep started.
Got my two. Should have bought six at this price. MUCH better sound than I expected from a $3 speaker. I can actually make out bass-lines, and trebles are clear and crisp. Obviously it's not a beatspill or soundboom or auralarena or sonicstadium or whoomptheater but for $3?! And the speakerphone works great - stick it to your car windshield and it beats the heck out of your phone's usual speakerphone.
Our 4 came in random colors as promised, so thanks for that, meh.
Don't get me wrong, for 3 bucks each I'm not complaining (OK, just a tiny bit).Let's not get carried away. These are not great speakers. They function. Not loudly. Not all that cleanly. The most exciting attribute is the price.
@WTFhqwhgads Bluetooth is certainly not ideal but we're getting plenty enjoyable, clean, dynamic music in the car via Bluetooth. So no, wasn't expecting joy from these but it was due to price not Bluetooth.
Especially with small speakers, more often than not, the sound joy issue is crappy speakers, not Bluetooth.
I used to feel the same way as you and still go wired when practical. But you should try a decent Bluetooth setup sometime.
@kuoh The battery life was twenty minutes before I needed a recharge. I'm not sure about the sound quality. How good of sound quality does one need in the shower? I used it to listen to the news. I am now using the BEM cube perched above the shower and that is working really well. I can go a week without recharging.
I have a different brand one that looks exactly the same. It's pretty good for what it is, something really small and convenient to emit noise while you're doing yard work, at the beach, etc. This is a pretty good deal even if you have to pay shipping.
@djslack Otherwise I'll end up giving them to people who will end up leaving them in their own corners. Oh well, better their hoarding problem than mine.
I was going to buy these, since I had signed up for VMP a few months back, but the order page makes it look like I don't have VMP. So, yeah. Guess I won't.
@OldCatLady Charged one up, and wow, does it do a good job. Ed Sheeran was singing right at my elbow, no distortion at all. Tomorrow is shower karaoke. Probably the Dead; they sound less worse than some.
Was it just my speakers quick bluetooth connect but there very weak on volume my speaker phone on the galaxy is twice as loud ..but for 3 bucks a nice deal..stocking stuffer
I got these for my boyfriend and he cannot seem to configure both to work at the same time. They both work, but only one at a time. Any helpful tips for my un-tech savvy boyfriend? Thanks!
@Ignorant i've connected to my Meta watch and 808 speakers from the same phone at the same time, i think multiple pairings depends on those that attend the party
@DMlivezey correct, you can have multiple Bluetooth connections but only one per function - like phone audio, media audio, and data like a watch (this may allow more than one). When i had the Samsung watch (which would do phone audio) my car would only pair for media audio and not for phone calls. Was annoying.
Pro tip: buy these if you want to roll them into a coworker's office and play fart sounds while they're in a meeting.
@JonT clearly from professional experience.
@JonT built-in mic, i’d be checking the underside of desks/conference room tables.
what was that i hear about our stock ? staff reduction, pay cuts. sell… the boss is seeing who ?

Gimme all your speakers, this is a StickUp
@lichme
@lichme No, this is a Stickup!
Since I don't need these, in for 3. Curse you, @sohmageek!
@narfcake I'm sorry, You're buying 6 just cause you don't need them? I'm confused...
@sohmageek I bought six just for the cables.
@macdaddy1 the cables are power only
@heehaw wait, is there really a difference in USB cables, with some that power only and don't do data?, i've never experienced that
Just made my first Meh purchase! so f'ing exciteddd
@coolzmmrjm lower expectations, this is meh. :)
@coolzmmrjm
@coolzmmrjm And you hooked up the VMP like a real mediocre person. Kudos!
@coolzmmrjm Welcome to mediocracy!
Musical pasties?
I think hell must have frozen over. 2 Meh purchases in a row? implicit-flammable-salt
Inconceivable!
I miss the days when I lived with the illusion of self-control. Do I need these? No. Should I buy them? Well, they're less than $5/ea.
wanted-fleecy-degree
@christinewas If my girlfriend ever counts how many Bluetooth speakers I've ordered from Meh she will revoke my internet access. Even if she does use them too. Added to the count today...
Well, finally some waterproof music I can stick on down where I tie up my boat. It'll be nice to have that when I cast a few lines and enjoy a beer, and when it's time to do the end-of-season maintenance in another month. Yes, it looks like thanks to Meh I will finally have a speaker dock.
@njd this is a bluetooth stand... BTS are not speaker docks... but fear not... I suspect there will be more JBL docks for sale eventually ;)
@thismyusername if I stick it to where I tie up my boat, I'll have a speaker dock. ;)
@njd What is this end-of-season of which you speak? I'm in Florida, boats stay in the water where they belong, all year round.
@OldCatLady Do you have a sailboat?
@sammydog01 This reminds me. I have some washing to do.
Woof!
@sammydog01 Wow. No, but I know where to rent one. I even almost took the Inland Navigation test.
Now if only there was a way to daisy chain them somehow, so I could have stero sound in the shower
@spitfire6006006 The sound quality is not good enough to care about stereophonic sound. They're $3 each, buy it already...
@madmaxmedia Oh, I already did. Just saying
@spitfire6006006 Also, let's just pretend it says "stereo" up there and I think we'll all live a happier life
I've been watching this site for months, and in a weak state of mind finally purchased something. For $6, I couldn't refuse.
Like everyone else, I really want purple.
I passed on these last night. But got told about the water resistance, and that you get 2 for $6... So I broke.
I hadn't bought anything from meh in like 2 months. I've now impulse bought 3 of the last 4 items. Looks like Meh's Back!
famous-physical-coconut
Can I return them if I don't randomly get purple?
@heartny I love purple.
@heartny No.
@JonT Meanie.
@JonT
unkind-misleading-art
2 for $6 waterproof speakers. How could I say no? I hope I get a purple one.
@remo28 I love purple.
@remo28 Water "resistant".
@Kerig3 I almost edited my post last night to reflect that they were only resistant. At least for me, that's enough. I don't plan on taking them swimming. Maybe just stick one to the shower wall.
Looks like meh "fishing" to see if we will bite on this deal.. Speaker Tuesday throwing in baby arm also in presentation to tempt us
@AttyVette They did a good job reeling me in, at least.
Parrot fish or opah?
@AttyVette Got me hook, line, and sinker.
@AttyVette all about the bass
@nadroj With a treble hook.
@saodell it's actually a dorado
I got a red and pink one in the mail today! I tried it out and it works pretty great, even accidentally got a call while I had it connected to my phone and that worked surprisingly well! ONLY ONE CAVEAT! DO NOT, AS I HAVE DONE, STICK IT TO YOUR FOREHEAD. Yeah, sure it looks cool and feels kind of good, but you'll end up with a weird forehead hickey!
@keymo pics or it didn't happen.
@Thumperchick
Pretty cool speaker, though.
@keymo
Received yesterday. Sold all 6 for $10 each. Appreciate the $42 Meh.
Write up is really funny.
Would buying these make me look stuck up?
@phatmass no but others could be stuck on u
Meh. Last time I had two items made of silicon in my hands I was a happy camper.
Welp, that's that. I'm now an ordering person.
Speakers for my shower are too good to pass up.

@Rixius changed departments?
@RedOak Naaahhhh I couldn't do that. I'll just throw my money at things they buy.
@RedOak Shhhh! Don't tell @Rixius that! He doesn't know yet!
Laggy internet trying to post for six minutes .. Anyways speak up on this deal
@AttyVette it's not your internet... :)
@thismyusername Can you please 'splain what you mean by that? I've had trouble logging in to Meh for about a week now, and I'm talking about 9 am EST. Is it not me and my special undetectable malware infection? That would be swell.
@gregormehndel it's the meh servers, Irk made a nest in the cloud and keeps causing issues (it's happening to all of us).
@gregormehndel There was an interim OhShit report, which may need to be updated as it doesn't mention Mercury retrograde. https://meh.com/forum/topics/is-meh-running-slow-for-anyone-else#55f74149b7f1aa3405a43409
@thismyusername @OldCatLady Thanking you both, I am, although it was a chore just to get logged in to do that! Clicking on the link to this thread from my email takes me to a login screen that doesn't go anywhere. Silly Irk.

@Kerig3 why does this exist as stock clip art? Good lord
@PenguinOnTheRox I know not why, I just exploit said clip art! 😁
@Kerig3 Really missed out by not having it say "Play Boar."
@fuzzyninja I'll remember that the next time I blatantly use a copywritten clip art cartoon! 😜
Well, they seem to stick pretty well.
@cinoclav trying to figure out why one would stick this to a tablet - other than to be a kick-stand. Does it really sound that much better than the internal (stereo) speakers?
@RedOak
Been using an avocado masher as my iPad kickstand. At $3, this would be so much cooler
@RedOak Definitely as a kickstand. Would also work for most phones. I'd imagine the sound would be slightly better, though it would be emitting it away from you if used as a kickstand. Put it near a wall so it bounces back.
@saodell @cinolav we'll stick with our iPad Smartcover for that purpose. Elegant dual-angle kickstand+screen protection. Even tho it's getting pretty tattered. Time for some 3M weatherstrip adhesive.
@saodell an avocado masher as kickstand is way cooler.
@ljxdaly And my hand, angled at 45°, is much more practical. 😂
Can I control Siri with the microphone? If so, then this is a definite buy for me.
@Pat4ever I got these because I've started using OK Google, and it's addictive. I do like tech toys.
The tech toy box is still empty, so in for two more chivalrous-prissy-porridge, which produced some very unkind images, so:
@OldCatLady I love your order results. Like, a lot.
@jaremelz I second that.
@sammydog01 I mean, I certainly haven't returned to this comment 3 or 4 times already just to look.
Oooh these are going to be fun for sound effects on Halloween.
@nadroj I would star this a dozen more times if I could. AWESOME idea!
I have one of these - they are pretty good. The rubber is a little tacky so they get grimy. The sound is ok and you can use them as speaker phones. More of a novelty for kids - fun to stick on things and go "look - my speaker is stuck to that smooth thing"
@jmhsrv How much battery life do you get?
@jqubed I got a good hour before i shut down, could have gone longer.
Silly sticky stocking stuffer...
I kinda wanted one of these some time ago, thanks Meh for making several of them cheap enough to be an impulse buy!
Baby arm!
Sure, why not, it's only $6.
burly-spiffy-hippopotamus
@creativecstasy Hippo Size sodas are delicious.
Pretty sure that's a dolphinfish - aka mahi mahi.
@Pufferfishy Who would know better than a pufferfishy?
@Pufferfishy - right, but it's just 'dolphin', no 'fish'. :) And that one is small, maybe going 10#'s, so barely over being a "peanut", he's still just a 'slinger' (no need to grab him by hand, just sling him off the gaff into the boat/fishbox). It's a 'him' due to the blunt forehead; females have sloping foreheads.
There, some priceless knowledge, to go along with your cheap Meh "waterspeaker". ;)
@capnk Well - Wikipedia agrees with me (and it's pretty much what everyone here in FL calls them). If you can't trust them, who can you trust?
@Pufferfishy trust Florida people? Of course I do! I bought my golden ticket to heaven from this couple, but I stored it in my grill and it disappeared. Someone put a pile of ashes in its place!
@djslack You know this was fake, right? Right? Do not tell fibs about Florida. We don't need fake stories, we have Casey Anthony and Michael Dunn and Rick Scott and giant land crabs and 18 foot pythons.. http://www.snopes.com/media/notnews/goldentickets.asp
@OldCatLady We absolutely have the best mugshots.
@OldCatLady B-b-but... I saw it on Facebook! It has to be true!
@Pufferfishy Wah..wha...who...?
@capnk Now I'm off to the seafood market, for dolphinfish and skate wings aka 'scallops'.
@OldCatLady You're also home to Florida Man, the World's Worst Superhero!
First meh purchase! Come on Black and Blue! :-)
@agentmgd You get Pink and Green!

You can never have too many mediocre Bluetooth speakers. Unfortunately...

And I am off the map, but the picture is from Thailand, so lets just say I'm there.
I received mine today. Black and purple!! I feel special hahaha
Received my order today. 4 speakers, 4 colors (Black, Zombie Green, Blue, Purple).
Paired one up to the TV. I have to say... I don't hate it. This is the first Bluetooth device I've owned, and I have to say... it's the best $3 Bluetooth speaker I have! It'll be perfect for watching TV later in the evening without having to turn up the volume and disturbing anyone.
Got mine, Purple and red! Stuck it to my forehead and used it paired to my phone to talk to my daughter. She said the mic picked up better stuck to my forehead than it did while I was holding it. I'm sure I looked pretty fab too.
Bought a pair. The cuteness. I must be soooo stooooppppiiiidddd...
thievish-laden-farmer for six (6) stocking stuffers which thanks to the tax bill that just came in are now promoted to full presents

You reeled me back in meh

In for 2.

Yep, that's me.
I realized I needed more for my Christmas gift list. Torn-incoherent-guitar looks like this, in my opinion:
@OldCatLady Well, I'm certainly incoherent now. It's like Christmas and my birthday together when you order stuff, just for the images.
@jaremelz I'm so glad you like them. If I score the next Fuku, who knows what'll happen?
@OldCatLady It's like when you win, we win too!
@OldCatLady And for a moment, I thought this was Gregg Chillin. Oh my heart, that man.
Three of us all stuck them on our foreheads. One kept falling off, one left a purple mark, and the other one just hurt a little bit.
@pyip001 no photos?
Got mine as well. Red and Orange. I used the red one in the shower this morning. It sounded decent. I tried to skip tracks without looking at a manual, and I found that when you hold down the middle button it calls someone.. I hung up right away and after I was out of the shower I saw that I had called my mother.. oops.. haha..
Anyone know how to skip forward on these? I never did figure it out.
Got mine! Black and blue! Tried out the blue one and it works great. Sticks pretty well to my forehead.
My 6 came today and they're even more adorable in person! That's 5 more items for my Christmas stash and one for me. I'm very tempted to keep them all though. They would be fun for a party.
If they are available again I'll definitely buy some more.

@therealjrn I recently came across one of these. It may be time to cut up my credit card.
If you haven't already bought 3 by now, what are you waiting for? Think of your Christmas stash, people! If you have any children (or young-ish adults) in your life, they will love these.
I can't figure out what's worse. The fact that I purchased two sets or the name of my order.

Baby Arm.
Suckered back into another month of VMP by a tolerable-lawful-screwdriver.
Hoping for at least one toxic green because... well, toxic green, innit.
@ruouttaurmind i have the multitool that goes to its a SOG!!
@ruouttaurmind If you get two green, you could stick them to your head and be Shrek (or Fiona) for Halloween.
Well theeeeese aren't expensive enough for me to impulse buy!
Tampered spotty dumpling
@trailtroll is that pirogi with Frank Zappa on it?
My tech toy box is outdated; it still has some USB Woot lights, and nobody wants those, so in for one disturbed-jumping-trade.
Well MEH, in for 6,
I wonder how long they will last once I throw them in my pond to let my fish listen to music?
In for six.
Did somebody say drones? 1
@podhokie Does it play "Ride of the Valkyries" at high volume?
glamorize-malleable-mimosa -- my very first purchase here-on/at/abouts -- of 4, because as others have said, just 2 feels like I'm failing to take advantage of a great deal, but I can't imagine finding a way to use 6. Popped for the VMP while at it, so now I'll feel obligated to find something more to buy in days to come. Come-on, Mehnizens, don't make me regret it!
@tmdowling And hoping I don't get pink. hoping, hoping.
@tmdowling Google image search says glamorize-malleable-mimosa looks like this (if I figure out how to add a picture):
Holy cow. I can't believe these haven't sold out yet with over 4000 sold. How many of these did you guys buy?!
@daveJay they need to "speak" up don't they?
@daveJay I noticed a surge in the last few minutes. Wonder what that was about.
@OldCatLady we looked at it and said... well crap, I guess 2 makes me feel like a sucker, and 6 makes me feel like a sucker, I guess I'll buy 2 more.
Got mine in, all good colors. Charged one up and it sounds pretty good for a rubber mushroom. A+ would buy again!
@djslack Got black and chartreuse! [that's "green" for you folks from :Yopland...] Haven't unboxed the black one yet. Green one works great!
Got mine as well and they don't sound half bad for costing only $3 each. Even better, I charged one up fully and let it play some random pop music over bluetooth at one notch below max volume and after over an hour, it was still blasting away. Might get a couple of more as gifts if they come up again at the same price.
KuoH
I got these before the flash drives and they are kinda fun. They stick well as my one is still stuck to the wall overnight. I got it to stick to my 4yr'd back as she ran around dancing to frozen songs. They I got to watch her try to take it off.
Got mine in...wish I had ordered more than 1 set. I got a black and a red, wish it had been purple and pink but oh well. Works well for the wife in the kitchen, stuck to the microwave and forgot about it until the low battery beep started.
Got my speakers today. They are AWESOME! I can't remember if these sold out or not, if not PLEASE MEH put them back up for sale!
I have a pink and an orange. They look good in the box, and I'll stick them somewhere tonight!
@DaveInSoCal Halloween colors. Perfect.
@christinerenee lol. More like my little pony colours, but good enough!
Got my two. Should have bought six at this price. MUCH better sound than I expected from a $3 speaker. I can actually make out bass-lines, and trebles are clear and crisp. Obviously it's not a beatspill or soundboom or auralarena or sonicstadium or whoomptheater but for $3?! And the speakerphone works great - stick it to your car windshield and it beats the heck out of your phone's usual speakerphone.
@SirLouie I might have to try that speakerphone! So far I've only used one of these in the shower, and not for phone calls.
Our 4 came in random colors as promised, so thanks for that, meh.
Don't get me wrong, for 3 bucks each I'm not complaining (OK, just a tiny bit). Let's not get carried away. These are not great speakers. They function. Not loudly. Not all that cleanly. The most exciting attribute is the price.
@RedOak expecting clean audio from bluetooth?
@WTFhqwhgads Bluetooth is certainly not ideal but we're getting plenty enjoyable, clean, dynamic music in the car via Bluetooth. So no, wasn't expecting joy from these but it was due to price not Bluetooth.
Especially with small speakers, more often than not, the sound joy issue is crappy speakers, not Bluetooth.
I used to feel the same way as you and still go wired when practical. But you should try a decent Bluetooth setup sometime.
i got a purple and a green one... they sounds pretty good, already stuck them under my bosses desk to play fart sounds during his meetings lmao

@kuoh The battery life was twenty minutes before I needed a recharge. I'm not sure about the sound quality. How good of sound quality does one need in the shower? I used it to listen to the news. I am now using the BEM cube perched above the shower and that is working really well. I can go a week without recharging.
@densa I wish I could go a week without recharging.

Amazon reference price non-link? @moose
Here it is:

"Date First Available February 18, 2015"
And zero reviews?
I have a different brand one that looks exactly the same. It's pretty good for what it is, something really small and convenient to emit noise while you're doing yard work, at the beach, etc. This is a pretty good deal even if you have to pay shipping.
drab-foolish-brush . . . . A mistake?
At three bucks each, good (I hope) "filler" Christmas gifts. VMP.
Any differences compared to an unbranded one from eBay?

@mrkenneth Uh yeah, you get 2 for $6 when you join us in the VMP cult... I mean club.
@mrkenneth Yah, if you don't like brands then go with the eBay alternative.
I was nice and only bought a total of 4. Someone else can jump on those other 2 that I surely would have left sitting in a box in the corner.
@cinoclav I did the same. Considering going back and fixing that because they're almost free, but you're right, they'll probably just sit in a box.
Strike that, I went back, cancelled the 4 and got 6. So much for being nice to everyone else, except the 2 more people I can give these away to.
@djslack Otherwise I'll end up giving them to people who will end up leaving them in their own corners. Oh well, better their hoarding problem than mine.
@cinoclav
2 felt like I was a sucker.
6 also felt like I was a sucker.
4 felt just right.

@Indigo good thing they're IPX7
Yeah, if I could pick the colors (pink, pink, more pink) I'd be in.

Okay. I bought one set...then I bought another. Because...they're $3 each. Why not?!?

Somehow neither of these produced interesting images...
@Zypher P.S. Hoping for orange!
@Zypher Yeah, "Chaste-Petite-Honey" didn't bring up any good images for me either. You would think...
50 list. OCD alert.
Fine. I'm in.

I was going to buy these, since I had signed up for VMP a few months back, but the order page makes it look like I don't have VMP. So, yeah. Guess I won't.
@wootcat You of course realize you will be sucked back into VMP by tomorrow's product. And regret missing this one.

Why did I buy these?
need something for my bathroom.

I got nothing...
In for 4
Purple
Got mine today and so far, they ain't bad. The sound is pretty decent for a bathroom like mine.
The important part is that I got a purple one, plus two pinks, a red, an orange, and a black.
@OldCatLady Charged one up, and wow, does it do a good job. Ed Sheeran was singing right at my elbow, no distortion at all. Tomorrow is shower karaoke. Probably the Dead; they sound less worse than some.
Got a red and orange today! Great colors, was aiming for orange so I am satisfied.
Works pretty well. It was a hit at the office where everyone though it was a singing shower head.
Was it just my speakers quick bluetooth connect but there very weak on volume my speaker phone on the galaxy is twice as loud ..but for 3 bucks a nice deal..stocking stuffer
@mellowirishgent they are not very loud. Seems shower noise would overwhelm their output. The source is an iPhone in my case.
I got these for my boyfriend and he cannot seem to configure both to work at the same time. They both work, but only one at a time. Any helpful tips for my un-tech savvy boyfriend? Thanks!
@lbdallstars I don't think you can connect to 2 Bluetooth devices at the same time without a Bluetooth splitter.
Agreeing with @ignorant, unfortunately. I use one for my laptop, and the other for my iPad.
@Rixius agreeing with me is always unfortunate.
@Ignorant that's pretty ignorant.
@lbdallstars They make a stereo version (two that piggy-back off each other).
But it ain't 3 bucks each. More like 50 bucks for the set.
@Ignorant i've connected to my Meta watch and 808 speakers from the same phone at the same time, i think multiple pairings depends on those that attend the party
@DMlivezey correct, you can have multiple Bluetooth connections but only one per function - like phone audio, media audio, and data like a watch (this may allow more than one). When i had the Samsung watch (which would do phone audio) my car would only pair for media audio and not for phone calls. Was annoying.

@connorbush Makes you wonder if they ever check to see what was sold here.
@cinoclav mhmmm
@JonT how many of these did y'all sell to Woot lol?
@connorbush Anyone know what the price was?
@bruinscbr I Rohm $5 or more
@bruinscbr $6 for the 2 pack.
These things are popping up all over the place. (But not for 3 bucks a piece.) $8.99 @ staples.com
