➤ My search is over! Sorry Bose By Johnon
Color: Black|Verified Purchase
After one minute of listening to this speaker it was enough for me to return my Bose Soundlink mini. I owned the mini for 3 weeks but it was hard to justify spending the $200. It turned out to be an easy decision. I've tried out several other speakers the last few months and felt like the Bose was the last one I'd buy.

That was until I purchased and listened to the Sharkk. Right away I was blown away with the sound quality from this little guy. Distorts a little at highest volume, but so did my bose and every other speaker in the $200 price range. This speaker is loud. Louder than the mini. The lows are awesome. It's not Bose mini low, but pretty close and more pleasing to listen too.

I've recorded my own music for 15 years and I can appreciate good sound when I hear it. It's awesome that $50 can get you such a high quality Bluetooth speaker. I'm really impressed so far and can't wait to show it off this summer :)

If I could change anything about this speaker I would add an FM radio.

➤  An old man's only review By Howard R. Mulcayon
I don't write reviews because I am a 69 yr. old near dead who really doesn't fell motivated. BUT my only review ever is for this speaker that truly goes beyond expectations. I grew up with original rock&roll. Since the 80's I lost all interest in new music until the advent of Smooth Jazz. Smooth Jazz requires faithful reproduction. It is not overpowering and loses much with artificial enhancement like sonic bass blasts. Well this speaker is awesome, true, and accurate. IT motivated me to write this because it really is this nice!

➤ I'm not an audiophile but....... By Elvanceon
I just received my speaker today and can't wait to charge it up and listen to the superb sound I've read about in the reviews. Physically, it's a beautiful speaker in appearance, with every conceivable feature available as well as being very solid. It appears to be made very well. Bluetooth 4, from what I read is the top of the line, which takes only seconds to connect to to whatever device you connect it to wirelessly.
What I already figured out prior to receiving the speaker, since it isn't angled to get the best sound, I bought 2 miniature rubber door stops (1" x 4") and put them at the tip of both the both front ends of the speaker, with the tip of higher part of facing the edge of the speaker, which holds very well on a low carpet and it angled the speaker at approximately 45 degrees, just like the speakers that are made at this angle. I can't wait to hear this on my smartphone. I tried this setup on a hardwood floor, but the door stops did slip away from the speaker, so you might try a couple of narrow strips of Velcro, so that it would not only hold the speaker and door stops together, but they can be detached when not using the speaker.

UPDATE: I RECEIVED THIS GREAT SOUNDING SPEAKER WITH ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES YOU COULD EVER WANT AND IT PAIRED WITH MY SMARTPHONE IN AN INSTANT! AS WELL, I TRIED THE SMALL DOOR STOPS IN A DIFFERENT WAY AND THEY WORKED PERFECTLY ON ANY FLOOR TYPE WITHOUT ANY VELCRO OR TAPE. I JUST PLACED THEM ON EITHER END OF THE SPEAKER, DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THEM, WITH THE FRONT OF THE SPEAKER FACING THE HIGHER END OF THE DOOR STOPS AND THEY HELD UP JUST FINE AT THE 45 DEGREE ANGLE. THE SOUND WAS SO MUCH BETTER ANGLED IN THIS WAY! IT'S JUST LIKE THESE 2 PIECES OF HARD RUBBER WERE MADE FOR THIS INCREDIBLE GREAT SOUNDING SPEAKER! BTW, THERE IS A VERY PLEASANT LOW SOUNDING LADY'S VOICE THAT TALKS TO YOU WITH EACH BUTTON YOU PUSH AND EVERY FUNCTION YOU PERFORM. OUTSTANDING! I BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN'T GO ANY FURTHER THAN WHAT THIS FINE SPEAKER OFFERS! GREAT SOUND, GREAT PRICE!

ONE THING MORE THAT I ADDED TO THE DOORSTOPS AT THE LAST MINUTE WERE 2 SMALL STRIPS OF CORRUGATED BOX, ATTACHED TO THE DOOR STOPS WITH THE RUBBER TYPE SCOTCH BRAND MOUNTING TAPE FOR THAT EXTRA LIFT. BUT THE SPEAKER CAN BE TAKEN RIGHT OFF THE DOOR STOPS.


➤ Dollar for Dollar, Feature for Feature, It Can't be Beat. ByDoug EatsPhoon

Color: Black|Verified Purchase
I had two other, lower-priced Bluetooth speakers before I started shopping for this. Those older ones had decent sound for their prices over time; I realized I wanted more robust sound and longer battery life. So I decided to step up to the $40-$50 range of speakers.

This segment is very crowded with dozens of brands you never heard of selling similar looking products. When I say similar, I mean black and retangular boxes. Some come with color choices and rubber-like coatings but overall, they are hard to distinguish. This is when what's inside that matters to the savvy consumer. I didn't mind the limited choice of design in this price-range because black, front-firing stereo speakers were what I was looking for.

You can see the basic specifications on the product page or Sharkk's webpage; many other reviewers have echoed those details as well. I'll just go into what makes this Sharkk Bluetooth 4.0 BoomBox Speaker stand out.

1. It's in the name: This speaker at this price has Bluetooth 4.0 (backwards compatible), the latest version that is most efficient. If you are using a wireless speaker, the longer it lasts the better. I found several other speakers with BT 4.O but they lacked one or more of the following features.

2. Watts count: This speaker has the highest power rating (2 x 5W) of any speaker I found below it in price as well as many up to twice as expensive. The higher rating makes the speakers produce sound with less effort and gives it more headroom for spikes in range. Many of the other speakers had at most 6 watts total. What's the difference? Someone compared it to car engines - many four cylinder engines make similar power ratings to six cylinder engines but they have to work harder get there. Furthermore, they lack the natural "oomph" of the sixes.

3. Feed the boom: Of course higher watts are going to draw more juice. Sharkk addresses this by giving their speaker 2500mAh of capacity compared to other speakers at 1200mAh in this price range and advertises 10 hours of battery life. I haven't tested that claim but will update this review if it falls significantly short of that.

4. A couple of other uncommon features are - you can use your Siri or Google Now voice assistant from the speaker and the inclusion of Near Field Communication (NFC) for instant Bluetooth connection (after initial pairing).

This outstanding combination of features on top of the ones you commonly find in BT speakers steered by decision to buy the Sharkk BoomBox. Being highly rated also influenced the buying decision but many of the other speakers I researched had high ratings as well.

After ordering, the speaker arrived right on time. The box is nice and minimalist but keeps the contents well protected; the quality of just packaging gave me assurance of the quality of the product itself. The speaker is bigger than you might expect from just looking at pictures and has a hefty weight that makes it feel more expensive than it is. Even the accessories are nice with flat, tangle-free cables and a power block reminiscent of Apple products except in black.

The speaker comes pre-charged so I quickly paired it to my Nexus 5. Others have mentioned the "boom" and voice when you power it up but it is more like a "zoom" electric sound. Nonetheless, it is loud and can catch you off guard. The built-in voice is also a little too loud when she announces different power and pairing states. So here is where Sharkk can make an easy improvement. Either reduce the boom and voice volume or have an option to turn them off entirely. For a future version, I would like to see a remote control which would help control the speaker when paired to non-mobile devices.

I would recommend this speaker to anyone looking for a BT speaker with simple design, full and detailed sound, and an exclusive set of features. All these things make the Sharkk BoomBox an excellent value at this price-range. If I could, I would take a half-star off for the loud voice and boom, but otherwise it is the best speaker you can get in this segment. Oh well, nothing is perfect.

**Update 3/10/2014** I've had this speaker for about four days now. It seems to sound slightly better (more fidelity) than it did at first. Broken in over time maybe? Also, music from files on your device with sound better and louder than music you stream from the various music sites and apps; this is the case with most music output systems. Today I let it play with the volume about mid-level for well over 10 hours and it still has juice. I would still rate it no more than 4 1/2 stars.

Some more suggestions for improvement or new features:
1. Battery level indicator.
2. Rubberize coating for more durability because it is marketed as portable.

➤ Best Quality/Price: SHARKK Bluetooth 4.0 Boombox Speaker! By Sherry Fon
Color: Black|Verified Purchase

It's worth every penny! I want to give it 6 stars if they had it!

Delivery is as expected.

Design: nice and clean, you see what you want.

Pairing with TV: it is very easy. Just turn on the Miccus Home RTX TV Transmitter (or a different TV bluetooth transmitter) and Sharkk Bluetooth Boom Box Speaker and at the first pairing, bring them together within 3' and press the play/pause on the speaker. You will see it flashing red and blue, and the speaker will say, “Pairing” , then press the TV transmitter’s pairing button and they will automatically pair up, although be patient because sometimes they take up to 30 seconds to pair up. If you just use the speaker for your TV and they are already paired up, they will remember each other, and you don't have to do the pairing again. Any time you want to use the speaker, just turn on the speaker, and during the pairing, make sure you turn off any other Bluetooth devices. Note: if you connected the speaker to different devices(like your phone, tablet), you have to go through the pairing process again.

Pairing with phone: First, you turn on the phone’s Bluetooth and scan for devices, you should see Sharkk Boombox, press it, and they will pair up immediately.

Phone call: When you are playing music on your phone using the speaker and there is an incoming phone call, the speaker will stop playing music and pick up the phone. Once you finish talking, it will start playing music again. You can use the speaker for phone calls, too. Also, if you press the phone button on the speaker, it will redial the last phone number.

NFC: I picked my favorite song, turned on the Sharkk speaker and then I turned on my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone's NFC, put my phone on the top of the speaker next to MIC port, the speaker says, “Pairing” and they will pair up right away.

Tablet: Do the same thing for the tablet. Turn on the Bluetooth and scan for the Sharkk Boombox. I use this speaker with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet for video calls; the speaker comes with a MIC, so I can enjoy the freedom of wireless MIC and speaker, without using a mic and headphones.

Headphone Jack: when I plugged earphones into the speaker’s headphone jack, the sound will only come from the earphones and be silent on the speaker. The sound coming from the speaker is simply excellent. I use this function as a Bluetooth receiver for my regular earphones, that said, when you are watching TV at night, you can connect the speaker to the TV (you need a Bluetooth TV transmitter for this purpose), and plug wired earphones into the speaker's headphone jack and watch TV without disturbing anybody.

Sound: Excellent! I use this Sharkk Bluetooth Portable Boom box speaker with my 46" Samsung Smart TV and the sound quality beats my Bose Bluetooth speaker! Honestly, the Bose speaker is good at playing and projecting music, but when I used it with my TV, the sound came out deeper than the original TV speaker. And although I changed the sound setting on the TV, the sound didn’t come out any better.

Thank you everyone who wrote the reviews for this Bluetooth speaker so I was able to pick out this amazing speaker from Amazon.
