I would give it about a 4.3 - great sound, descent user interface. Unsure if it is an open box flaw, but I can’t seem to play music while it’s charging a phone (USB mode) and it won’t charge anything on Bluetooth mode. I’m sure I could figure it out, but fact remains. Bass boost is nice, haven’t blared it (maybe a “diet” blare) but so far no cracking or anything. Lightweight considering it’s size, I actually make the effort to bring it into whatever room I wanna use it.

Hello,
Thank you for purchasing the MX-ST40B Sound Tower. We appreciate the review detailing your experiences with the Sound Tower.
The USB ports are used to play music directly from a USB thumb drive or firmware updates. If you are using the Sound Tower on it's battery mode (not plugged in to the wall), the unit will not charge anything plugged in to the USB ports. This will keep you from forgetting to unplug a device and draining the batter within the MX-ST40B.
Should you ever have questions or need help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week.

The Samsung MX-ST40B Sound Tower delivers excellent audio performance with its 160W power output. The sound is rich, with clear highs and deep bass, making it perfect for parties or home use. Its portability and sleek design are a bonus, and the battery life is impressive

Bought this open box price discounted $221.00 with all the accessories and original box tagged excellent condition. I am a lucky man indeed. I am blown away with the sound coming out from this 2 ft box is out of this world. The only caveat is there is nothing to distinguish the sound preferences ( rock, party, HipHop, EDM, etc.) except by ear. 160watts by cord or 80 watts on battery. Easy BT connectivity. Bass boost, remote and a whole lot more. Happy with the purchase.

This speaker looks and sounds great, easily portable and not too heavy. The only issue i have is when using group play with another speaker, i have to keep it within 3-4 feet of each other, if not then one speakers sound goes in and out.

I had been looking at something like this off and on for a while. This happened to on sale for a good price and sounded really good in the store so I picked it up as did a friend of mine. We were both impressed with the sound quality and functionality. Between the two of us we now have 4 of these and very happy.

The MX-ST40B is rated for only 160W but packs a punch, producing good bass when in Bass Boost mode while retaining sound clarity for mids and highs. It's a step up from its predecessor rated at 300W. Party lights and DJ modes are also lots of fun. Great buy!!

This speaker gets the job done. Im using it as a cheap alternative to fixing the stereo system in my car. Its... Fine. The bass can really boom with the bass boost mode on. Towards the loudest end of the range, the sound quality does take a slight dip. Ultimately, for the price (i bought an open-box item) it's probably the best that exists out there. Just know that if you really want to shake your windows (or neighbors), you might be better served upgrading to the next model up or one of the JBL partybox speakers.

Hello SairS,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for the MX-ST40B Sound Tower. We appreciate your thoughts regarding the Bluetooth and the remote design.
The remote doesn't turn on the MX-ST40B Sound Tower when it is in battery stand-by mode, this way you don't accidently turn on the speaker and run the battery down.
It will power on the Sound Tower when it is plugged in.
Should you ever have questions or need help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week.
