I bought this speaker a little over six months ago, and since then I have bought quite a few others because I liked the price and thought it would be a really good gift to give my family members. This particular one, though, has stopped being able to charge. I don't know why. Now I'm disappointed, and I hope the others I bought don't come up with the same problem; otherwise I was happy with the performance of it... when it charged.

Got this last Nov 20 and was thinking of giving it as a gift since I have JBL Charge 3. Turned out that I don't have anyone to give this and just tried to use it this April 28 and found out it doesn't charge.
No Red Light(charging indicator)
Tried 3 cables aside from the included one
Tried to charge it using power bank, laptop and wall charger
Tried the reset button
Tried to charge it (Off and On mode)
Good thing I didn't give this defective speaker as a gift.

Just what I was Looking for

I was looking for a small wireless speaker to listen music while I work on my computer desktop, I saw this one in offer for $10, I decided to try this new brand unknown for me. Wao the sound quality hit me!, I use to hear music in a moderate level because i like to hear on a quiet tone, I really loved the sound, it has a 3rd speaker in the center that gives you the rigth frecuence you are looking for, the perfect level between bass, middle and high, is ideal for close listening and small places. the small factor feels good in you hand, the rubber buttons feels so good, and the experience while it conects is perfect, it gives you a beautiful sound when you pair it and unpair it. The battery! i have used it for about 2 weeks and I have not charge it yet, it turn off when you have about 10 minutes with out using it.
- This Speaker needs only one more thing to be perfect: navigating buttons.
Belive me this model has a more beautiful sound than the next model, the battery bank model (NS-SPBTBRICK-C)

Here's the deal, I went through a million other speaker reviews till I ended up on this speaker, with zero reviews. But that meant I wasn't reading a review that was bought with cheap or free items. I trusted the name, and I took the risk. Here are my thoughts:
Sound:
If you are worried about bass, this has it. I played Love Lockdown, and it kicks. I mean, it KICKS. It has some serious bass on this thing. It was super surprising to me how hard it kicked, like Pele in the Euro Cup hard. However, it lacks a little with the highs, but it is still able to get there, just not as well as the bass. I imagine it is perfect if you only want to use it for R&B style music, but it is still fantastic for everything else. It is loud. Even with the treble. It'll get some attention, but you aren't using it as your speaker at the next party you DJ.
Size:
It isn't exactly pocket sized, but it is not throw it on your shoulder big either. It is light-ish, and is super easy for me to take places, and for that, I let it keep it's 5 star, because it is small enough to carry around, and be portable, but not small enough to where it feels weak. I don't know, it's preference, and mine is in a little bit beefier of a speaker. You don't need a gym membership to lift it, but you need to be a little bit stronger than SpongeBob with his stuffed animal weights. It's like maybe 2-3 pounds. It probably says it, so just go use that if you really care still.
Style:
I mean, it's Black, and a speaker. I don't know, I guess it is cool looking. I haven't exactly really cared about style, but it looks good, and with the rubber, it feels pretty cool too. Whatever, look at the picture, it is exactly what it looks like. This section is just so I cover all the bases of this speaker. Oh, wait! Snap, I forgot, it has a little blue LED on it, when it is connected, and it flashes when it is trying to connect. I like it. It isn't blinding, but it makes it just a little bit cooler. Great little detail about it. If you care, ask for a picture, but as I said, the picture on Amazon is literally it.
Buttons and Everything Else:
Alright, I read some reviews on other speakers where people complained about the speaker making a loud noise when turned on and off, and pressing the volume buttons. This one does that. But it isn't blaring loud. I kinda like it, it is pleasant. But hey, if you want a stealth speaker for some crazy reason, know that this one doesn't have it's black belt yet. Oh, and the Bluetooth connect makes a noise, so, note that. The power bank is nice, it does its job, and is a bonus because I didn't even read that it did that, so, win for me I guess. Oh, and the aux port is convenient, because I can use it with my laptop too.
Pros:
Bass
Charging Bank
Style (I guess)
Clear sound
Cons:
None
Go for it, it's pretty legit.

I give it 5 stars based on the price, the quality, features, and sound. If you’re looking for a speaker that sounds like you paid $150; then go spend $150. But if you’re looking for a dang good speaker that sounds great and packs in the features on a budget; this is it! Connects quick and easy to my iPhone 8. I even tried it out to make a phone call and it worked great; although I’ll probably never use that feature. I wish it was just a touch smaller; but then it may sacrifice some of the great sound this thing puts out. Very loud, nice treble, bass is sufficient, not great. Charge seems to last a while so far. Will be great in the summertime when I’m jamming out to Slayer planting pansies in the flower garden!!

I had been doing a lot of work on my car in the garage and found that I wanted more sound than my little phone speakers. I borrowed my dads little bluetooth speaker and it did a good enough job so I watched out for a good price on one for myself. This one came up on sale for about $15 around the holidays and had good reviews so I gave it a shot.
I was very surprised how heavy and solid it felt. It has a plastic back and a metal face but I'm guessing the speakers have decent sized magnets. It just a surprising feel of quality given the price because of the weight and construction. For $15 I was honestly expecting it to feel light and cheap. It connected to my iPhone 6 very easily. It shows up in your device list as a bunch of letters and numbers which isnt as nice as being prelabeled "Insignia BT" or something. If you have a couple randomly named devices in your bluetooth list just remember which one this is.
It's not going to sound as nice as $150 Bose speaker but for $15 I was amazed at the quality. I pretty much use it for two things: Audiobooks and Hard Rock. With the audiobooks I found the voices sounded pretty natural. The highs were not harsh so you could turn it up if you needed to and it has enough mids and lows that male voices sound full. For rock it was pretty similar. I wasnt feeling double bass pedals in my chest, haha, but having it in the garage as I worked on my car I didnt feel like I was missing out on too much considering the ease of using the speaker, its size, and price.
You can control the volume on either the phone or the speaker which is nice and if the speaker doesnt sense a signal for a little while it will shut itself off to save battery. A battery which seems to last quite a while anyway. I let my mom borrow it once to listen to my favorite audiobook, Ready Player One (dont watch the movie, read or listen to the book!) and she was so impressed by it that she asked me to get her one for christmas. No lie.
In conclusion, if you are looking for an audiophile grade speaker or even a large speaker for like parties or events than this is not what you want. But if you find yourself in situations where you would normal just play music off of your phone and you want more and better sound, then definitely give this a shot.

For a smaller size BT speaker, this Insignia portable wireless speaker rocks out like it's nobody's business!!! =) So even though the bass gets muddy when pushed to the speaker's higher volume limits or when playing "bass heavy" song selections, the mids and highs are very well produced and sound great! =) Considering the speaker's size, volume output and sound quality (minus a little on the bass side) is surprisingly astounding and shocking. Just keep in mind that they naturally are many other BT portable speakers that will blow this one away but at a price stand-point (I managed to purchase this on sale for $10), this one gives you the best bang for your buck!!! =D Thank you.

I work overnight and wanted something to listen to podcasts and music on while at the desk. This little speaker does a great job, it has adequate bass and gets plenty loud for an office environment. Typically I only need it at about 25% volume to hear it just fine. The Bluetooth pairs flawlessly with my phone and I find the battery lasting through my nine hour shift just fine. I got it for 13 dollars on clearance and it’s well worth the money. Also I won’t be upset if it goes “missing” at the office since it’s not breaking the bank. All in all, I would recommend it for casual or office use.

I purchased the Insignia bluetooth speaker on Black Friday because of the good price ($12.99) and the recommendation of a sales associate. He said he had one and it had amazing quality for its size and price. I bought one for myself, and one as a gift, and I agree with his opinion. Advantages are the price, quality of sound especially for voice (podcasts, audiobooks, etc) and ok for music, very quick connectivity (better than all my other speakers), portability (small and lightweight), and loudness. I would recommend the unit for its niche. I also have the large Harmon Kardon (my best and better than Bose), a Sony, and Jambox bluetooth speakers.

I got this speaker on a whim because there was an insane Black Friday deal for it and my boyfriend had been wanting a bluetooth speaker. However, with that being said I would have paid full price for it. The speaker is a good size, easy enough to travel with and the sound is impeccable. On the highest volume you can hear it playing throughout the entire house (1300 sq feet). I couldn’t be more pleased with the speaker especially for such a good deal.

I've bought several different BT speakers over the years at many "price points". In the category of speaker you can find on sale for under $20 - $25 these can't be beat. I've bought many for gifts for less than $15. They really sound good and have a pretty good battery life. I get 7+ hours at 75% volume. Despite the small size they are pretty "hefty" which might help explain the better than expected sound.

My father wanted a speaker for his tablet. After some searching and reading reviews, I bought this speaker and the upgraded version of this speaker for him to try. Between the two it was under $40 and they were well worth the price.
This speaker was a perfect fit for my father and his needs. He wanted something that he could easily use (as he is not very technical), be loud & clear enough for him (he is very picky with sound and sometimes is hard of hearing), but also be portable if need be. This speaker is very easy to use - had it paired and running in under 30 seconds, and not many buttons to get confused with pushing. The sound was great even at a low volume - at the lowest level, it was 4 times the sound he was getting from his tablet. And he now can turn on his music streaming on his tablet, leave the tablet and take his speaker anywhere in the house.
If need be, I would purchase this speaker again, due to it's excellent sound performance and it's quality build. For it's price it is a steal compared to similar models.

I purchased this Insignia speaker for a little more than $10 and it was worth every penny. It connects easily to my iPhone and has close to 30" of connectivity. The sound is decent for the cost and size. This is a nice option to have on the beach or outside while working. Not a Bose, but it's a good choice for the cost.

Got these on Black Friday for an awesome deal and they turned out to be really well built, great sound quality, and get really loud. Really nice speakers for a brand that's not Bose or Sony...can also hook up a phone to it and talk hands free through the speakers. Light and portable. Last up to 8 hours but i feel like they last much longer.

Great buy for the money! Insignia vs. Jawbone

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I just bought this Insignia and also a Jawbone Mini Jambox. I put them both side by side and played same song from same phone linking to them back and forth. They both sounded great, slightly different in tone/treble/frequency but still very close. I would think of it like they were preprogrammed with different equilizer settings. One not necessarily one better than the other, just slightly different. This Insignia box has a great price point during the Christmas holiday season at $12.99 and I found the Jawbone Mini Jambox at $34,99 on a Deal of the Day special. One nice benefit the Jawbone has over this one is that one Jawbone can link to another Jawbone during playback resulting in two of these units playing over one bluetooth audio link. This Insignia can't do that. The Jawbone is also slightly slimmer, less than 1 inch thick so it is even more travel friendly. Both of these units make for easy packing in a purse or suitcase, but I could even put the Jawbone in my pocket and it feels about like a phone. Nice to have a beach or hotel room. Sounds much better than a pencil eraser sized speaker of a cell phone. Both have about 8 hour battery life claim.

This speaker is easy to use and sounds great. It has plenty of volume for its size and good sound. It won't have as much bass response as larger speakers, but it is compact and very portable. I bought a few of these at a special price, for gifts, and kept one for myself. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
