@awk@kuoh@Mehlachi If it’s male and American, look outside and see if there are any unfamiliar vans or Sunburnbans parked nearby, particularly with somebody wearing sunglasses and a necktie in the front seat.
(Egregious typo started out as just a simple typo, Sunburbans, and then I decided to make it worse.)
@shahnm As long as it isn’t bulging, it should still be good. If it’s slightly puffy, then it’s best to use outside, preferably close to a lake or pool.
I’m a sound engineer, so I care a lot about the sound and a fair amount about how it works in the fiddly bits, but my last Bluetooth speaker was going in the shower, so I cared more about its waterproofing than anything else.
Bluetooth.
@yakkoTDI Beat me to it
The noise it makes when it powers on and connects to a device really sets the tone for the whole listening experience.
@Mehlachi If I don’t hear a lady with a heavy Chinese accent telling me the bluetooth status, it’s getting sent back.
@awk @Mehlachi Yup if it’s American, you overpaid. If it’s British, it’s wrapped in corinthian leather and you really overpaid.

Analog wires for me, babiez!!
Gluten-free and sustainably harvested.
If it’s also a waterproof flashlight, emergency radio, pocket knife, multi-tool, 16oz tumbler, power bank Trackr. In Georgia red.
That it’s probably still perfectly fine to use, even though its expiration date was sometime last month…

Price
@somf69

It’s sort of a continum with sound at one end and size on the other. Once you factor in price it becomes obvious.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@chienfou But I thought size doesn’t matter…
@chienfou @xobzoo Only if your name is Bergholt Stuttley Johnson.
That it’s sold by meh, is dockable, and has some sort of knife.
How much drinking water it can hold.
@zachdecker You drink water? You know that stuff’s full of dihydrogen monoxide, right?
Blue teeth.
