At almost $30 I would say that this is a very impressive speaker! It's very loud indoors. I haven't tried an outdoors yet. It's heavy for a speaker but lightweight and portable to carry around. The Bluetooth connected to my phone seamlessly. I don't know about hours of playtime, but I have learned that if you're not playing music it times out in about 5 minutes. It has three light modes. Fast flash, slow flash, and off. The two flash settings are both rhythmic, which I love! The sound comes out impressively clear and the microphone function picks up my voice across a small room - for when I'm audio dictating and I forget to turn off the speaker. It was available in three colors at the location I picked it up from: black, gray, and pale blue. I was impressed with everything right out of the box: The shape, the weight, the lights, and how loud it gets! It has USB-C charging! It came with 80% charge, which is nice! Not a whole lot to say.
