@haydesigner Dodgy electronics and Li-OH batteries are always an exciting combo, especially when you’re trusting the waterproofing on this slave labor build quality device.
I was scared for my life I would miss another speaker with proprietary connections before Xmas. Then BOOM! one shows up If only it had RCA jacks I’d be in for three.
“They claim the mobile speaker waterproof to a depth of three feet, but we’re sticking with the safer “splashproof” to be safe, and because why would you need a speaker underwater?”
…so my wife is doing the whole “holiday stress meltdown” thing, and she’d likely stab me if I ordered one of these…long story short - I’d appreciate it if everyone else would refrain from buying these so I can buy one of these 1980s anime inspired speakers in the new year.
Thanks in advance.
@Nate311 i discovered the secret to not stressing about the holidays. stop giving a fuck about what other people think. gifts for immediate family, make agreements with siblings for no gifts or small gifts if there is a lot. its like people allow the quality of the christmas gifts they get for everyone determine how much they care for them. its nonsense, all of it. make it fun for the kids, decorate a tree, put up some lights, listen to christmas music, watch die hard and lethal weapon, spend time with the family, thats all you need to make christmas wonderful.
Don’t be afraid to buy one of these. I already own one, & I paid double for it. As long as the speaker is connected to the base station/sub woofer & the sub woofer is plugged into an A/C outlet, it’s great, especially at this price!
I got this for my 13 year old for Christmas thoroughly expecting her to shrug and stick it on a shelf. Instead, it has become the BEST Christmas present I’ve ever given her (according to HER). Just wishin’ I’d bought two so I could have one!

I hate all these blue tooth speakers. I have three now! One for kitchen, bathroom, and kid’s room. Please give us a break. No more blue tooth speakers until after Valentine’s day.
Anyone used theirs yet? Mine has audible feedback noise when plugged in but not playing anything. Changed outlets and still there. You can even hear it over music if the volume isn’t cranked : /
Already got one from last time. I think it still works. Since switched to a BT send unit and some BT ear plugs. The bass unit stopped working after the first time, from what I could tell. Speaker works great, for mono.
@CaptAmehrican The attached belt clip should be an indicator that you will only have a boom-boom in your pants. Wear it in the front to let them know you’re coming, in the back to let them know you’re eating fiber.
Ahhh, finally another Bluetooth speaker. At long last, things are right again in the Meh universe…
The top review on Amazon is pretty brutal.
@haydesigner Dodgy electronics and Li-OH batteries are always an exciting combo, especially when you’re trusting the waterproofing on this slave labor build quality device.
Technically it’s not a speaker dock, but it’s a speaker in a dock.
@ddcarman you just dock-blocked me.
I was scared for my life I would miss another speaker with proprietary connections before Xmas. Then BOOM! one shows up
If only it had RCA jacks I’d be in for three.
@Woody1 or balanced connectors WoooHooo
Oh good, it has a belt clip! Because I always wear a belt in the shower…
@ypwulby Me too!
@Raider #nevernude
@Raider I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Is that a piece of the rock from Nickelodeon’s GUTS?
@choral_music The Aggro Crag!
“They claim the mobile speaker waterproof to a depth of three feet, but we’re sticking with the safer “splashproof” to be safe, and because why would you need a speaker underwater?”
It looks like a Bluetooth speaker from the 80s.
Are you saving the good stuff for 2017, meh?
Soooo ugly
@Lazarpandar I was looking for someone to say this. If they didn’t, I’d have to speak up.
#Wow! #Cool! #Bluetooth!
No. Just no. Meh is not enough.
I might buy this if I didn’t own 5 Banana Boat speakers already.
BOOmbotix
There’s the bluetooth, phew.
That’s some 2001: A Space Odyssey looking shit right there
@jmoor783 Ah, so the monolith was Bluetooth. I always thought it was SciFi. Or at least WiFi.
@jmoor783 It doesn’t screech like that. It probably didn’t come from the moon, but I honestly can’t say that with 100% certainty.
/image 2001 monolith
Speaking of Bluetooth–sounding off tonight eh meh
www.knivesandspeakerdocks.com
@rkess88 lol! Figgers. Now when I tell people about MEH i will tell them to just go to knivesandspeakerdocks.com.
So this is some kind of Voltron speaker?
Imagine the megazord you could summon with this thing.

@jihiggs I agree with you. Love Actually, and Elf are also on my holiday playlist. Now, if I could convince my wife to chill the fuck out…
@Nate311 You could sell tickets to the stabbing…probably make more money than what this would cost.
Finally, a speaker to go with that Klingon decor in your man cave.

@woodyzim Does this speaker have an “auto off/timeout” when it is plugged in? I am considering using via Bluetooth in conjunction with an Echo Dot.
@paraklete I honestly don’t know, and I lost the manual a while back. Try the manufacturer’s website maybe??? Sorry

Boom! Drops da mike…
Sweet mother of all things Meh.
Yawn. Goodnight.

No aux-in? Pass. I have several MP3 players and one thsa does FLAC. No BT.
discountbluetoothspeakers.com strikes again
Bluetooth aholic here and after scrolling Amazon’s reviews…I’m less aholic now. Can’t imagine worse reviews. Just wow. Next meh?

Stationery? Am I really the only one to notice that?
@Jonas4321 No. Maybe they thought you could write on it?
Super butt ugly.
I would have bought one if it was called the Boombastic

@smjnga How about your closets? You aren’t even close to speaker saturation.
@sammydog01 Then he’d spend too much time in the closet…
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather go to Earth…
Out of this world!

How loud is it? Ie how far away can you hear it?

At first glance I thought it was a Darth Vader bobblehead!
Unboxing video
where’s the karaoke machine to go with this?
Great copy today.
Finally, a 2GB flash drive with a bluetooth speaker! My data will sound so boomin’ now
