@lichen@RedOak you are correct. I have 3 in my house and I can stream to them with the Google Home app. Walmart had a helluva sale on them awhile back like 2 for 25.
@reclaimercube I don’t understand. I was referring to connecting today’s deal speaker to Google Home Mini. Your Google Home Minis have Bluetooth? Ours does not. Of course the GHM has WiFi or it would be a paperweight.
@reclaimercube@RedOak I believe all Google home minis added the functionality to send Bluetooth to another speaker sometime last year. You have to go in the settings to add an output speaker.
@RedOak@RiotDemon you are casting to it from your phone. I have Spotify on my desktop computer and it makes it really easy to say okay Google and hear your whole library. Not sure how well it works with Play Music or Apple Music but Spotify is on point!
@RiotDemon yes, I see the ability to send Bluetooth content to the GHM, but where is the ability for the GHM to send its output to an external Bluetooth speaker?
Just tried it with a Bluetooth speaker and the GHM ignored the pairing request via the app.
(That is the applicable issue for today’s deal speaker.)
(In fairness, after testing both Google Home Assitant and Amazon Alexa for about a year, our use of the Google Home Assitant has tapered to near zero out of frustration. Not that Alexa is perfect - it isn’t and its app sucks, but Alexa just plain works more often.)
So I have searched and googled and scoured the net… and these models don’t seem to exist… anywhere but here at meh…
the pictured box says bluetooth 4.2 … so it might have AAC support… also the box says HIFI Stereo sound, but looking at their other offerings I think this has 1 speaker so not sure how they are pulling off stereo with 1 speaker… but I am a sucker and bought one.
USB 2.1 Port in the charging dock for charging devices
I think left an A off, as in 2.1A port (there is no true USB 2.1 spec)
And why would the transfer speed matter if it’s a charging only port?
/nerdingout
On the other hand, it would be mildly cool if you could jam thumbdrive full of MP3s in that port and use the rudimentary controls to navigate you tunes.
"In a press release, the company announced that total net sales for the 2018 fourth quarter decreased 9.5 percent to $3.67 billion compared to $4.05 billion for the fourth quarter last year.
As a result a total of 18 JCPenney stores across the U.S. will be shutting down in 2019. In addition, 9 ancillary home and furniture stores will be closing this year as well."
I’ve bought quite a few speakers from you guys, but this one is so cheap it’s almost universally an impulse buy. Even the $10 ones from Walmart aren’t splashproof!
@zaphod9977 That’s my only reason for remotely considering this product. Like most things I don’t need on Meh, I am hoping it gets sold out before I make the foolish decision to buy.
It has a carabiner! This will be perfect to hang on my belt and schlep around to listen to podcasts while I do gardening!

PRESIDENTIAL POSE: This iconic portrait of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln [left] is actually a composite of Lincoln’s head and the body of Southern politician John Calhoun [right], an advocate of slavery. The image was most likely created years after Calhoun’s death in 1850.

Nice try, Meh. Just because the $27 product is round doesn’t mean it’s “similar.” Here is one that isn’t similar in shape, but it is in size, specs, company, water resistance and rated about what you’d expect from a meh item.

@uninflammable Same… it’s awful. I found that covering the speaker with a palm prevents the shrill final 2 or 3 notes from being NEARLY as ear-splitting.
My speakers are in and I tested one. It seems to work just fine… but holy shit. Every time you turn them off, when you turn it back on it defaults to ONE HUNDRED FUCKING PERCENT VOLUME, INCLUDING THE TURN-ON SOUND EFFECT.
Thank you for contacting tzumi. I apologize that your dock fabric
speaker isn’t meeting your needs. Unfortunately, that’s how our
speaker is manufactured. I will advise you to return the speaker for a
refund.
@Bandrik the deafening, shrill beep of the power up sound is definitely the defining characteristic of this speaker a couple months into ownership. I keep mine in the shower and every time I turn it on, I have this dread hanging over me of that noise and then after I turn it on, I sit there enduring each successive peal of the bell as I think to myself “Jesus, please let that be the last one. . . SHIT! Fool me three times, shame on me?” until it finally stops.
@slipperyp hahahaha yep I can totally see that. It just keeps getting louder and louder and you think it’s done but SURPRISE it always has one more notch to get to 11.
then click on the tracking number in the order in question… if there is no tracking number click the “I need help with this” and give em a day or two to reply.
Is any body else’s speaker beeping every few seconds in the song? This has happened multiple times, and then occasionally it’ll just disconnect. Any ideas?
@vernonshanker It needs to be charged. Make sure the two metal bits on the speaker are lined up with the ones on the dock. It’ll have a red light on the speaker when it’s connected properly. I ran into this yesterday when I was trying to see how it sounded right out of the box.
So the box does say HIFI Stereo, but it is NOT stereo… sounds ok… haven’t tested speaker phone but it is fine for podcasts and casual music listening.
Despite the BLUETOOTH 4.2 listing… no aac support… but to be honest with a speaker that sounds like this you likely wouldn’t notice.
Charging it up and tossing it my pile of quick gifts… I was far more popular when I gave away JBL OnBeat Minis… people would really comment on those as gifts… these bluetooth speakers don’t seem to have the impact.
Been 2 weeks no delivery yet …think this is the longest i have waited for a Meh item ,and i’ve bought over 100 from them , this is after i swore off speakers which i’ve bought almost every one they sold
Item came today well worth the wait item is fantastic for 8 dollars when it comes back ill buy 5 more for gifts easy set up with bluetooth under 1 min just very happy with this one not quite the jbl but 1 step under.Impressive deal Ty team Meh you guys rock !!!
@mellowirishgent Awesome, glad you finally got your speaker. If I may ask, where did your package get held up? And did the tracking ever update before delivery, or did it just randomly arrive yesterday?
Asking since a different order of mine seems similar to yours. Except mine is now past the expected delivery date & the tracking hasn’t been updated since over 8 days ago. Tried to send a quick message to Meh’s support, but only got an auto-reply that they’re too busy to even read it now. ><
Not a good product. If left on it will start beeping randomly as if the battery is dying or something even though it is plugged into an outlet. Have to shut it off and turn it on when I want to use it. Not convenient since I was planning to use it with Alexa at all times.
Not sure if this will be helpful to you, but you can force the speaker to stay on indefinitely. As long as it’s being fed audio (even an mp3 of complete silence on a loop, nature sounds, or a web stream at zero volume), it will stay on. It’s only when it goes X minutes without any audio does the auto-shutoff happen.
I kept mine on for 12 hours straight (silently) just to test it. And it was still connected. Probably more trouble than it’s worth though!
@lemonswithsalt Thanks for the advice! Probably won’t work well for what I intended the speaker to be used for but still good information and I may end up doing this at times. Thanks again!
Worked fine for about 5 weeks, now will no longer charge. I have kept other orders with minor problems,but will find out if meh honors its warrantee with this one.
@debmikejach
Just turn the speaker on, once the ear splitting sounds stop it will be flashing red/blue or is blue/red? Anyhow, open your cell phone and go to your Bluetooth, have it search for nearby devices and tzumi will be found. Then click connect to this device. Thats it, no code needed.

I mean, it’s a Bluetooth speaker, and it has a dock … so I guess technically it’s Meh worthy
But does it make coffee or recharge my phone?
Can I even glue it to my phone and call it a pop socket?!?
@shahnm
1 out of 2 ain’t bad…I mean it’s not really good either but yea it’ll charge your phone at (I suspect) 2.1A
Why does this look exactly like a Google Home?
@reclaimercube
Except that doesn’t have Bluetooth… or an external output jack so it wouldn’t work with today’s deal.
But an Amazon Echo Dot, ironically, would. Via Bluetooth or external jack. (If today’s deal had an external jack.)
@reclaimercube @RedOak
As far as I know the home mini has bluetooth and can both act as a speaker and connect to one.
@lichen @RedOak you are correct. I have 3 in my house and I can stream to them with the Google Home app. Walmart had a helluva sale on them awhile back like 2 for 25.

No more Bluetooth for me. Google assistant equipped or NOPE…
That’s gotta be one hell of a steep drop off on the low end.
@RedOak looks like they’ve corrected the typo
Pah, Bluetooth speakers that don’t make coffee, that’s sooooo two days ago.
@nolrak You suppose it’ll still work if one spills cofefe on it?
Hmm, water resistant and cheap enough that I can attach it to my bike and forget about it? You’ve won this round, meh…
/giphy legitimate-frightened-beaver
@jwoody27 I had much higher hopes for that giphy
@nolrak I was also disappointed in the giphy. It’s probably the same feeling I’ll have once I get the speaker.
And I once had hopes for Meh.
@gertiestn Well that was silly of you
A single 5" speaker that has a 20Hz-20kHz frequency response. And only costs $8.
/image sceptical
@awk I mean … it’s probably outputting something at 20 and 20k …
Though the response curve probably resembles this:
Mmmm midrange
@nolrak Mmm, resonance!
@awk That’s Chinese Hz and kHz. They’re different…
@awk @nolrak Which somehow calls for this:
Obligatory XKCD link
@awk More skepticism, “HiFi Stereo Sound” out of a single speaker?
Meh. I already own too many speakers that I never use. And, I’ve given away a ton too, people would hate me if I gave them another at this point!
So I have searched and googled and scoured the net… and these models don’t seem to exist… anywhere but here at meh…
the pictured box says bluetooth 4.2 … so it might have AAC support… also the box says HIFI Stereo sound, but looking at their other offerings I think this has 1 speaker so not sure how they are pulling off stereo with 1 speaker… but I am a sucker and bought one.
@thismyusername
TL;DR:
Your price comparison is an 8" diameter speaker. Very very different
@Superllama7 Actually, it might be an 8" unit with dual drivers. Also, that’s what she said.
@Superllama7 What if the speaker bounces up and down on its bass at lower frequency? Maybe we’re thinking of this all wrong?
@Superllama7
This is probably a better comparison but looking at the reviews, I can see why meh avoided posting it.

@RedOx truth
What’s the power rating?
@macdaddy you might be over-thinking an 8 buck speaker.
@RedOak ah. You are obviously correct and wise beyond your years.
IPX6 would be water resistant, not waterproof.

then click on the tracking number in the order in question… if there is no tracking number click the “I need help with this” and give em a day or two to reply.
Is any body else’s speaker beeping every few seconds in the song? This has happened multiple times, and then occasionally it’ll just disconnect. Any ideas?
@vernonshanker I believe it is telling you to charge it. But then again I could be COMPLETELY WRONG (my wifemate tells me that all the time)
@vernonshanker It needs to be charged. Make sure the two metal bits on the speaker are lined up with the ones on the dock. It’ll have a red light on the speaker when it’s connected properly. I ran into this yesterday when I was trying to see how it sounded right out of the box.
@vernonshanker Mine does the same thing even though I leave it plugged in at all times and it is clearly charging. Not a good product.
has not moved
@andy271 meh.com/support
So I got around to opening this thing…
So the box does say HIFI Stereo, but it is NOT stereo… sounds ok… haven’t tested speaker phone but it is fine for podcasts and casual music listening.
Despite the BLUETOOTH 4.2 listing… no aac support… but to be honest with a speaker that sounds like this you likely wouldn’t notice.
Charging it up and tossing it my pile of quick gifts… I was far more popular when I gave away JBL OnBeat Minis… people would really comment on those as gifts… these bluetooth speakers don’t seem to have the impact.
@thismyusername I do agree that the startup noise volume in combination with the pitch of a couple of those notes make it very obnoxious.
Been 2 weeks no delivery yet …think this is the longest i have waited for a Meh item ,and i’ve bought over 100 from them , this is after i swore off speakers which i’ve bought almost every one they sold
@mellowirishgent Mine got here awhile ago, but that being said, the sale says:
@therealjrn ty
Item came today well worth the wait item is fantastic for 8 dollars when it comes back ill buy 5 more for gifts easy set up with bluetooth under 1 min just very happy with this one not quite the jbl but 1 step under.Impressive deal Ty team Meh you guys rock !!!
VAN MURALS! GROUND SQUIRRELS! SPIT CURLS! AWESOME!
@mellowirishgent Awesome, glad you finally got your speaker. If I may ask, where did your package get held up? And did the tracking ever update before delivery, or did it just randomly arrive yesterday?
Asking since a different order of mine seems similar to yours. Except mine is now past the expected delivery date & the tracking hasn’t been updated since over 8 days ago. Tried to send a quick message to Meh’s support, but only got an auto-reply that they’re too busy to even read it now. ><
LEGOS! EGGOS! STRATEGO! AWESOME!
Not a good product. If left on it will start beeping randomly as if the battery is dying or something even though it is plugged into an outlet. Have to shut it off and turn it on when I want to use it. Not convenient since I was planning to use it with Alexa at all times.
@williamhenry33
Not sure if this will be helpful to you, but you can force the speaker to stay on indefinitely. As long as it’s being fed audio (even an mp3 of complete silence on a loop, nature sounds, or a web stream at zero volume), it will stay on. It’s only when it goes X minutes without any audio does the auto-shutoff happen.
I kept mine on for 12 hours straight (silently) just to test it. And it was still connected. Probably more trouble than it’s worth though!
@lemonswithsalt Thanks for the advice! Probably won’t work well for what I intended the speaker to be used for but still good information and I may end up doing this at times. Thanks again!
Mine hasn’t even shipped yet and it’s after the estimated delivery date. is this normal?
@steelbluesleepr not normal, might want to write into support meh.com/support
Worked fine for about 5 weeks, now will no longer charge. I have kept other orders with minor problems,but will find out if meh honors its warrantee with this one.
@firstcrack I have been having the same issue, suspect it is the charging dock. It’s too bad!
Horrible, Everytime it’s turned on it defaults to maximum volume, why? It hurts my ears
Lost my manual for ipx6 mini waterproof magnetic speaker and dock I need pairing instructions on how to pair to cell phone
@debmikejach
Just turn the speaker on, once the ear splitting sounds stop it will be flashing red/blue or is blue/red? Anyhow, open your cell phone and go to your Bluetooth, have it search for nearby devices and tzumi will be found. Then click connect to this device. Thats it, no code needed.
My speaker won’t even charge
I’ve been using it for a year now. Still works great! Well worth the price.
