@medz HAHAH! I deleted that comment because I wanted to add to it… Sorry for ruining the continuity. Anyway, as I was saying, it was there and now it’s not. But it’s pretty telling that all the other Soundbox speakers are about ~$20 and this one was supposedly going for $80. Oh, hey, try this one for $3
@therealjrn Really? I didn’t notice eyeroll. As I said above, it was there and now it’s not. If you don’t believe that two different people saw the same 80% off $80 coupon and do believe that this is an $80 speaker, then go for it. If you want to buy a SoundBot speaker for $3, you can do that using the information I’ve added in this subthread
@Superllama7 You seem like a good-natured person with a good sense of humor. Play nicely with others, etc. The mehtizens are always on the look-out for people like that.
@RiotD the same link to Amazon provided for the price comparison. Obviously, someone figured out how ridiculous it was to suggest this was selling for 80 bucks when it had an 80% off coupon and took it OOS. Others saw and posted on that coupon around the same time I did.
@medz It was on the Amazon page that Meh linked to. It ain’t there no more, it seems. But there honestly was a coupon you could click on that would
give you 80% off. Now they seem to have removed the price & the coupon & simply say that the item is available from third party sellers. The two listed offer it at $29.99 from one source and $70 from the other source. And goodness knows why I seem to be telling anyone far more than a person should want to know.
@gertiestn@medz-I fail to understand what all this shit about Amazon’s about. All those hoops, and y’all are already on meh, so just buy it here, save $1 & buy yourself a fn condom, or a chicken thigh, but all this clucking about this crap when most of you ain’t even buying the damn speaker anyway, so WTF’s going on?? Am I fn missing something??
I’m not a speaker expert. I just needed something so I could play music for my dogs when I’m not home. Works great for basic stuff like pandering to four-legged creatures.
@evuwisp
My experience has been similar; I mostly use it around the kitchen paired with my ancient iPad 2 to watch Netflix. Every time an episode changes, it pauses the video because it disconnects for a bit, then if I just hit play, the video plays a double speed for some reason. Since it was cheap I get through by turning the speaker off and on (like any good IT worker should do) at the start of Ntew episodes. Pain in the butt, yes, but it’s better than the remnants of the built in speakers
@evuwisp@guyfromhawthorn Interesting, the one I ordered when they sold them in Nov/Dec doesn’t have this issue with Netflix episodes (connected over bluetooth to my iPhone X ). Haven’t tried audiobooks but no issues with podcasts either.
@evuwisp@FireMrshlBill Your eye-Phone is also a whole lot newer and more updated than my old tablet though, so it could very well be the aging iOS combined with aging BT chips, aging Netflix app (can’t be updated to anything recent), etc.
@evuwisp@guyfromhawthorn Ya, couldn’t remember what gen bluetooth the ipad 2 had. I know my ipad 3’s bluetooth that goes to a bluetooth to RCA/3.5mm adapter/receiver that I connect to PC speakers will cut out here and there, but still no issues between episodes or anything, luckily.
If you just want a speaker and are not concerned about quality of the sound this works fine. However, if you want to listen to music with a decent sound this is not the right choice. I used it for about a month and finally packed it away. The price was great but cannot imagine paying the Amazon price for this unit. Set up was easy with no issues,

You got the speaker now where is the dock?
@yakkoTDI, don’t need a dock, Doc; it does come with a Charging Cable though. If you were just being sarcastic then, My Bad!!
O hell no, Meh.
Such a missed opportunity on the meh face. It totally would have looked better with the speaker as the mouth.
/giphy devious
You forgot to mention the 80% off coupon that is offered on Amazon… So $16 there.
@Superllama7 can u link to it? I don’t see the listing with coupon.

@Superllama7 What coupon? Do you have a screen shot?
@therealjrn The coupon one sold out, I guess. But see the link above for this one:
@Superllama7 That’s a totally different speaker
@therealjrn Really? I didn’t notice eyeroll. As I said above, it was there and now it’s not.

@Superllama7 Suuuuuure there was a coupon. We believe you. eyeroll
@therealjrn please explain what motivation I would have to lie
@Superllama7 I dunno
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
lol, I’m just messing with you.
@therealjrn sorry, sometimes I can’t tell whether people are being obtuse or just ignorant
@Superllama7 Yeah, I probably let it go on a little long. heh. sorry.
@Superllama7 Serious Q: You know we have a scapegoat in the forums here? Have you ever noticed or seen them?
@bleedmichigan doesn’t drink during Robanukah, like a heathen.
@therealjrn I have not noticed… Perception level 0. Sorry I was ungoaty
@Superllama7 You seem like a good-natured person with a good sense of humor. Play nicely with others, etc. The mehtizens are always on the look-out for people like that.
@Superllama7 yeah I just checked that, not available from that seller.
@Superllama7 That’s still $1 more, plus Amazon are ass-holes!!
@medz @Superllama7 Last night there were like 4 in stock sold by Amazon for $16. They sold out shortly after this post about it.
@decoratedwarvet yeah, I agree with your whole comment. I just like to point out when the price comparison is… less than accurate
C’mon Meh that’s pretty weak - saying Amazon is charging $80 for it when they have an 80% off coupon on their page. It’s effectively $16 over there.
Is this what Meh has become?
@jnanas I only see some used ones available. Do you have a link?
@RiotDemon Look at the price listed on Amazon; directly under $79.99 there’s a coupon for 80 percent off. Meh, what gives?
@gertiestn Where on Amazon? Please provide a link to the sale page.
@jnanas Huh, do you have a link for this spurious allegation?
@gertiestn when I look at it, there is no $79.99 option. It gives me buying options and they are used options and no coupons.
@RiotD the same link to Amazon provided for the price comparison. Obviously, someone figured out how ridiculous it was to suggest this was selling for 80 bucks when it had an 80% off coupon and took it OOS. Others saw and posted on that coupon around the same time I did.
@jnanas I don’t understand why Amazon would take it OOS because people were looking at it?
@jnanas here’s camels price tracker for anyone interested. I feel sorry for the guy that actually bought one for 80 without a coupon if that person actually exists

@jnanas oh, /fingerquote others /fingerquote huh? You mean that one guy who hasn’t answered?
@jnanas I’ll sell them for $5. I don’t have any either.
@jnanas @therealjrn Are you talking about me? I answered…

Just a reminder that a Bluetooth speaker and a “fart cushion” app makes for a great remote control whoopie cushion.
Bought this last time,it’s good
I bought this last time. It’s great.
Do it.
Bought this last time it was sold and used it for a white elephant exchange. The person who got it was pretty stoked, sooooo… there’s that.
/giphy that’s something
Good grief, what do all of you do with all these speakers?
@radi0j0hn, Wha, Wha, Wha, What do you mean? We listen to them, or I did till I became deaf for listening to too many
speakers!!

@jake5snooze cool. A totally different product for slightly less… But I guess you get to use a coupon?..
/giphy cool
@jake5snooze You sonufabitch, I’m in. Came to 7.99 prime shipped.
@jake5snooze, I checked out your link & all it showed was a speaker for $27.99, plus free shp!
I can almost hear all the out load MEHHHHs through out the land over this reveal.
OH MY GOD THEY DOCKED GLEN!!!
Is any speaker pair under 10 w even worth it?
When the power is listed in fine print I lose interest
@tsveggie
What? This is for a single speaker.
@tsveggie
First, power needed depends on the efficiency of the speaker. It varies.
Second, any power listed without “rms” after it is meaningless bullshit anyway, whether it’s 3W or 50W.
Third, it’s a 2" driver. It’s going to sound good only to those with sufficiently flexible definitions of “good”.
How do you get potential customers to comment? Make a mistake in the price comparison. Well done Meh.
Wattage ratings without frequency range and distortion figures are meaningless anyway.
I’m not a speaker expert. I just needed something so I could play music for my dogs when I’m not home. Works great for basic stuff like pandering to four-legged creatures.
@freakaluscious thanks for the comment, i’m all for pandering to my fur baby. In for 2.
Not good for listening to audio books. Everytime there is a pause, the next syllable is cut off. Not great for dialog

Wait… Is it 2020 or have I travelled back to 2017?
Meh is selling speakers.
Me no like 3W boom boom.
Hey, stocking stuffers!

@ManBehindPlan It worked! Your order number is: shocking-voluptuous-poltergeist

I also like to keep my mid range crispy…
Yeah…it may be 2020, but meh returns us to the past and stability with a blue tooth speaker!
From the specs…
Hmmm… seems a bit like false advertising to me…
Bought this for my girlfriend for Christmas and she loves it. Sounds really good for the size. I would buy again
I purchased this speaker last and it is great for 15 bucks
