I got this as a free promotional gift, so I don't have the frame of specifically going out and buying this for myself, just to be clear. To start with, the speaker quality is pretty is odd, best when it's specifically not pointed at you. For some reason, when the speaker is pointed straight at you, the speaker quaily is genuinely awful- but, if you point it like 30-90° away from you, it's just an average speaker. It weighs about as much as two normal books, so pretty light in my experience. The LED is fine, it's just a single, normal, slightly older one pointed at a reflective dome inside of a white paper ring- although i am a bit curious as to why they used a bar to suspend it in front of the reflective part (where you can see it clearly if you just tilt it a little, just behind the metal mesh) instead of inside it, maybe under that white part. Either way, it's nice that you can turn it off. The buttons are nice and it doesn't get very loud but it's not quiet either- I could imagine it outside for a more casual hang with maybe 10 people. You can switch modes (Bluetooth, Aux, etc) with a button easily, plus you can plug a USB stick or load a micro SD card into it, which is a neat feature. The karaoke mic... works? It's permanently suck with an echo that I couldn't figure out how to turn off (if possible), and the little user sheet doesn't really mention it at all. While playing music, it flips wildly from not being able to hear it at all to hearing it just fine. Still with the echo either way though. I also have no idea how you're meant to store it, because even though there's a hole in the back for it, it doesnt lock in or click or any kind of thing. Just flipping over or standing it up, the mic falls straight out. The cords are a similar predicament, except there's just no place to store them on the speaker at all. Even the mic cord cant be wrapped around and stored while connected to the mic, because the hole isn't big enough for the connector attached- even just wrapped around, it's still too thick. I've ended up just keeping it all in the box, although there's still not an awful lot of room in there. It charges with a micro USB which is a little old but not particularly odd yet. Mine came with a charge, so I was able to test it out immediately, which is nice. Overall, as a first impression, it's a fine enough speaker for general ambiance, but don't expect any actual karaoke or loud parties from it.
