You can never go wrong with Aiwa Exos 9. I bought it about more than 2 weeks ago. I use it everyday with music & movies. Very clear sound & the bass is very good too. All the positive reviews are indeed true. Now it's a matter of time to test if this beast will last long.

I love Bluetooth speakers they are portable and each speaker has its own purpose. I have my small Bose soundlink mini. I have a mid size beats by dre XL and now this bad boy each one of my speakers was strategically thought out for its purpose and sound quality. aiwa exos 9 sound is phenomenal sounding. yeah you can buy a louder speaker but louder is not always better clarity is king!

I was very excited about trying a larger speaker. My tiny bluetooth speakers were great for the office and taking on a business trip, but just couldn't get the job done in a large room.... Let alone outdoors. Aiwa has built the perfect speaker for what I needed. I love the interface and ease of setup but make no mistake, this thing is all about the quality of sound. It is big! It is not ideal for taking on a plane, but has a chargeable battery to move around with ease. Go ahead....embarrass your friends and remind them what music is supposed to sound like! There is nothing else like it. I'm ordering a second one so I can have paired stereo in my backyard.

If anyone is looking for a great BOOM like sound at your family gathering, then look no further. This is the best portable I’ve ever heard. Nice features too. More power, 5 band EQ, quick swappable battery, extended life battery available (grab them quick when they’re in stock). Two of these (L&R) sound over the top great!
I’ve always had to carry an external power supply with my other portables. Not anymore, these batteries are great and I bought 2 extended life batteries for them. The Audiopipe ATVP 3200 will still be used in wet conditions. But when the audio quality really matters most, it’ll be the Aiwa Exos-9 x2!

Finally, a speaker that is worth its asking price. I could not believe how much some of these "portable" bluetooth speakers were going for. I just wanted a speaker that would give me the right punch in terms of loudness without sacrificing sound quality. I demoed all of the expensive bluetooth speakers from various stores and was never impressed.
I stumbled upon the aiwa exos 9 online and was quickly remenisced about this familiar brand as i had various portable cd players and boom boxes from my youth. The amount of positive reviews ive seen from here, amazon and certain forums were convincing for me to try.
I was thoroughly impressed by how quickly the item shipped to me considering how i dont live in the continental u.s. The speaker has a nice size and i love the look and styling of it. It was light, but not at all flimsy or something of inferior quality. I just wish the volume knob was black as well to give it a steath look all around.
And now for the best part: sound. This thing is off the heezy! It was just what i was looking for - loud, tight bass, nice mids and highs. I also love how quickly it is able to sync with my android phone even from afar (30 yards). I even compared it side by side to the beats beatbox that my brother has and my girlfriends bose soundlink 3. I already knew it was superior, but seeing the faces of my brother and girlfriend when they heard my aiwa exos 9 compared to theirs was priceless. Especially when they heard how much i paid for it. Lets just say their sodium levels went up hehe. Awesome job aiwa, and keep up the good work best buy. Yall are killing it right now as dont even bother to shop on amazon when it comes to electronics.

This speaker system is simply amazing. The sound quality is very crisp and clear. This is not your standard "portable" speaker. This is a true stereo sound system that has it's own rechargeable power source. This truly cannot be compared to the Bose portable speakers. This thing is massive in comparison... And the sound quality is well worth the space.
I bought one to have as a primary countertop stereo that I could also drag outside for parties. I was so happy with my purchase that I bought a second, to pair with the first.
I've been simply blown away with the sound quality of this system. The bass is true without being obtrusive and the highs are crystal clear. Keep in mind, the sound is uni-directional on this speaker, so placement might be an issue for some users, depending on where you hope to put it. It's not really shelf or countertop friendly, but it does have a modern clean look that doesn't need to be hidden.
This system does not come with a remote, but I highly suggest that if you use the system on more than rare occasion, you purchase the remote that Aiwa makes specifically for the Exos-9.
If you're considering this speaker, and have the space for the larger (roughly 18x20 inches) Exos-9, buy it!

I read several reviews, owned several other brands. I checked out some online reviews, read several reviews. Tested every display models I could find. Yes! I was the guy blaring loud music in Best Buy and every other store I could find an Audi device to test. So we took a chance! It's the best money I've spent on a portable, Bluetooth speaker, the sound quality is miles beyond my expectations. The battery life is great. Sounds great, and has big bass. It's definitely loud enough to get the neighbors attention! I can't wait to pair two together

This speaker is amazing! The highs are as crisp as burnt toast, and the bass will blow the windows out of your house. Finally, someone has produced a home stereo-quality speaker that is portable - I love that I can bring the party anywhere! Best $300 I have ever spent.

This Bluetooth speaker/boom box has incredible bass and volume. It will disturb the neighbors...it’s that loud. Excellent highs and lows and midrange. Soundwise it’s flat out perfect and has long battery life. My only issue is that sometimes it loses Bluetooth connectivity. And it seems to only be an issue with Apple Music. Other apps such as YouTube music play just fine. The menu controls could be a bit better but that’s a minor gripe. You won’t be changing that much

Note: It did take Best Buy 3 weeks to get this shipped to the store for pick up. They sent me 4 notifications stating that it would be ready each time on that date sent and it wasn't. Not happy with the shipping process with Best Buy. Nonetheless, the speaker is awesome. Be sure to purchase this way in advance if you want to have it for an event or look elsewhere. I did a lot of research before purchasing this product and I am glad I did. I was leaning toward to Ion Road Warrior for the tailgate but went with this instead. This sounds much better. This has much deeper bass and midrange. You can also adjust the equalizer to fir your style. You can also link another Exos 9 with it to make it even better. Happy with this product.

Aiwa Exos-9 Bluetooth speaker = A+ sound

I am really impressed with the Aiwa Exos-9 Bluetooth speaker! The sound is clear and has incredible bass for a portable Bluetooth speaker! The Bluetooth connected within a few second to my Android phone. I listened to it for at least 5 hours on battery power and the power meter only moved one bar! But keep in mind, I did not listen to it full blast the whole 5 hours! I will probably end up buying another one so I can pair them up and have double the awesome sound! So yes I would definitely recommend this speaker to anybody!

I have had many bluetooth speakers and this is by far the best. I
work in a factory where max volume has always been needed even to hear the speaker. I keep this speaker at half volume and it is loud and easy to hear. If a great song comes on I may boost it to 3/4 volume and it rocks. The bass is amazing and having 5 drivers is a game changer. Now for the best part. The battery life at half volume and a few boosts to 3/4 volume lasts for a 12 hour day with more to spare. This is the one to buy. Every day use for about 2 months.

This Bluetooth speaker has excellent bass, and sound, in general. The equalizer does a good job of customizing the sound. I've owned it a little over a month, and I'm more than satisfied. It's a bit heavy and large to be carrying around, but fine for moving around the house, or in the yard.

I bought this for my son who's somewhat of an audiophile, and he's over the moon. Not only is the speaker easy to move around or take with you, but it sounds great while doing it.
I've got a Mu-so and a Mu-so QB and the Exos-9 sounds just as good (for some things maybe even better?) The only reason I wouldn't put the Exos-9 in my living room is that it does sort of look like what it is - a portable speaker. That said, I'm thinking about getting another one to link with the first for actual stereo sound.
Besides the great sound, the speaker is easy to use. I bought the remote control and it works well, but the young folks apparently eschew remotes in favor of their phones. I don't think the remote will get much use.
The speaker doesn't feel that heavy to me which may be in part because the grip in the back is quite comfortable to hold onto. I did buy the Aiwa carrying case elsewhere and it's not elegant, but thoughtfully designed and makes it easier to take the speaker on the go. From unboxing to listening took less than five minutes.

By far the best Bluetooth speaker on the market! If you're willing to spend $600 on Bose, be my guest. However, the Aiwa Exos-9 is equally powerful and clear at any volume. I bought two so I can pair them through NFC and I'm ridiculously impressed. Far more power than Sonos and plenty of wattage to fill any outside environment with your favorite tunes. Well done Aiwa! You've earned a loyal customer!!!

I love this speaker, absolutely love it. It’s a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. It’s not extremely portable so keep that in mind. Its easy enough to move around the house but you’re We also have a Sonos system at home but it’s a pain in the neck. Our internet doesn’t work that great and the Sonos app constantly needs updated. Consequently I use this speaker 99% of the time. No crazy apps, you can adjust the equalizer on the unit and not through an app which is great. If this thing had an FM tuner it would be perfect but for some reason hardly any Bluetooth speaker does anymore. Oh well I love this unit and would highly recommend. It has a nice full sound and doesn’t lose clarity as you crank it up. Bass is great too!

The best $300 you will spend on a Bluetooth speaker, awesome bass, crisp highs with absolutely no distortion. Bought it after just watching reviews on YouTube and don't regret it at all. Great Aiwa product as I expected after owning older systems
