★★★★★ Works exactly as described - reliable, easy to use with Spotify connect directly or other services over AirPlay. Overall I am very happy and would highly recommend it over much more expensive modular systems by other five letter wireless audio companies. Electricity consumption is lower as well. I purchased a 6 zone system and immediately updated to 8. Now if only there were a ten zone option without purchasing a second 6 zone system :)On that note I do have some suggestions for improvement or considerations, but no deal breakers:Amplification - 20w RMS is sufficient to drive 6.5" B&W architectural speakers at low to moderate volume. Any audiophile will argue it's not nearly enough to extract the intended sound, and while that may be true, in practical terms it sounds fine. The only challenge I have noticed is with my outdoor landscape speakers. Longer wiring runs and zero room amplification makes for low volume only. Still fine 95% of the time.Inputs - Spotify connect is great. AirPlay works as well, but I have noticed a drift in synchronization when streaming from my apple TV. Switching to 2.0 audio vs. auto helped, but still drifts over 15-30 minutes by a second or so. Not sure if that's an AirPlay 1 vs. 2 issue or something that could be addressed, but just something to keep in mind if you intend to frequently utilize in-wall speakers in a living room for 2.0 tv audio.Analog input - While there is an input adapter offered from a third party (I haven't gotten it to work...yet), it's a low end adapter this won't be a solution to play your records from a high end player... even if it will work, I would just stick to streaming.Volume Control - This works great for Spotify Connect and Airplay. Unlike the other five letter company, you cannot adjust volume control for each zone (only relative volumes, and those settings aren't on the fly adjustments) when playing the same source, but multiple sources works great.Future Feature / Hardware requests:Any chance we could see increased amplification without relying on clumsy integration with third party receivers? A small box with 50 or 80 watts RMS and two additional zones at a reasonable price would be great! Of course profitability would be lower on something like this than the main unit, but it's an add on so it should work out.EQ settings? the base EQ is good, boosted lows, but architectural speakers are far from perfect and could use some helpAirPlay 2 or other wireless integration support? Perhaps in form of a hardware upgrade or trade up in the future. Not sure if that would help with inconsistent latency.All in all very happy and highly recommend!

★★★★★ Tremendously easy to set up and start listening! The most time consuming part was stripping wires. Customer service at Juke is phenomenal! It’s nice that a few companies still value service. They were very helpful providing recommendations for my unique setup.

★★★★★ I moved into a house pre-wired for in ceiling speakers in 6 rooms about a year ago and have been looking for a system to utilize them. My observation is that almost everything out there is catered to professional installers and/or doesn't have easy to use mechanisms to connect and play from your audio sources. The juke system is a fraction of the price of the professional options and was easy to set up and use. I installed the system in about 45 minutes and had sound to the whole house immediately. I've only had the system for a few weeks, so I can't speak to longevity yet, but the product worked exactly as advertised and is a great solution for people looking to set up pre-wired speakers on their own.

★★★★★ I bought this speaker to have in my bathroom so I can listen to music, podcasts, and youtube videos while I take showers. It does the job perfectly. The sound is loud enough to fill the entire bathroom and the quality is surprisingly clear. It does not sound tinny and distorted even on the higher volumes. The waterproofing is also very good as I have used this speaker for a few months in the shower without incident. The Bluetooth connection is easy to set up and it has never cut out on me once! The build quality is superb and it is surprisingly heavy for its size. There are no loose or wobbly bits and the construction is solid. The battery life is really good for what i use it for. I normally shower between 15 to 30 minutes and I only have to charge the battery once a week and a half. the battery takes around an hour to fully charge on a non quick charger. The only complaint I have is that the loop clip is not as big as I wanted it to be. Originally I wanted to mount it to the shower rod but its not as a big (see picture for reference). I finally managed to fit it on my shampoo holder and its been working out ever since.

★★★★★ Let me start by saying I love this speaker. I work at Walmart and we have these for $59, and only in black, camo, and silver. I’ve been wanting one for a while so I decided to go on here and check for cheaper prices first. Boy, am I glad I did! Not only was I able to get these for a good $20 cheaper, but in my favorite color; pink!These are very good quality speakers, the first thing I did when I got mine was throw it in the pool to see if it was really waterproof like it says. I only left it in there for about a minute because I just wanted to hurry up and listen to music, but it does indeed float and no piece of hardware seems to have suffered as a result (there’s a rubber piece that covered the aux and charging port, and I worried that water might deep in after so long. But that appears to have not been the case). So if you’re thinking of taking one of these to go casually canoeing or kayaking, I would definitely recommend it, just so long as you’re not going white water rafting or anything intense (the speaker is pretty small and can fit in the palm of your hand, so it might get lost a bit too easily in rapids even if it does float).Now, onto the sound. The sound quality itself is - in my opinion - about what you’d expect from JBL. Very pristine and clear, no lags or sudden disconnections from Bluetooth like some speakers have. The volume honestly doesn’t get all that high, even with your phone and the speakers’ volume at full max. However, it’s plenty loud enough for normal folk to enjoy while you’re swimming, hiking, boating, working, or whatever. Though when you take into consideration its small size, I am honestly impressed with how loud it gets. So if you’re wanting something compact that you can blast the neighbors out of house and home with, this definitely isn’t for you.Now the clip. Let’s face it, the thing that probably attracts us most about this speaker is the fact it has a built-in clip for you to take it wherever you want; portable music! And it honestly accomplishes that feat really really well. A lot of cheaper clips won’t stay straight when you try to hook them onto things, and you have to physically move it back into place to fully ‘hook’. Not this thing. I’ve hooked it onto doorknobs, backpacks, the belt loops of my jeans...I’ve never had to readjust. Just clip and go. And for that reason alone I feel this thing is a keeper.The battery life is supposed to be around 10 hours, and I honestly haven’t used it a WHOLE lot so far but it feels like it lasts longer to me. That may be just because I’ve been using it for a few hours on and off and not for the 10 hours straight, but the battery still lasts a good while. I got about 8-9 hours right out of the box alone, with no charging.The ONLY thing that bugs me about this thing are the tiny, almost microscopic rubber nubbies on the bottom. I know they’re probably there for traction or whatever if you set it down on something, but they really irritate me to feel against my skin when I’m holding or carrying it. However it’s a small thing that’s definitely not a dealbreaker, and 90% of the time it’s gonna be hooked to something and not rubbing against my skin anyways. So other than that little thing this speaker is 100% gold to me!Basics overall:1. Sound quality: 9/102. Volume: 7/103. Portability: 10/104. Waterproofness: 10/10 (though granted, I haven’t extensively tested this one, how long are you really gonna leave this thing in the water?)5. Battery life: 10/106. Color: 10/10 (I know the pink looks terrible in the photos I provided, but I took them at nighttime under a *very* yellow light. Under normal lighting conditions it looks just like the stock photo)

★★★★★ Sounds good and battery lasts long enough for me. Super portable, I can hook it to a belt loop and walk with it. Bass is acceptable considering it's low power consumption. Outdoors it's not great but inside it's great and a great shower speaker if you can find a place to hook it.
