JLab Crasher Bluetooth Speaker

This is going to be a detailed review. First, I highly suggest this speaker. I heard there has been fake reviews and this is not one of them. First, the sound. Let me begin saying I believe Bluetooth speakers are for portability and not for throwing a large party. This speaker gets fairly loud. It is basically the same, if not better than the mini jawbone jam box. It is good for filling one room with sound. If you're just sitting around it's great for that. Honestly, if you're looking for a lot of sound get the JBL Flip. However, there are downsides of the flip I'll mention later. As for sound quality, I think it is very good. It pumps out highs, lows, and mids all very well. However, you will discover a sort of hissing static sound. This is very annoying but you don't really notice it while you're playing music unless you are listening at a very low volume. Moving on, Now I'll talk about the design. It is made out of aluminum, so it is very durable. It can probably survive a rainstorm, but I don't recommend leaving it in one. The design also looks very good. I have received many comments on its looks. Now for features, and there are a lot of features. Number 1, the battery. I know this doesn't sound like a feature, but on the crasher it is. At medium volume, it provides 18 hours! I find this very impressive. However, You probably will have this thing at full volume nearly 75% of the time, so expect around 10-12 hours. The JBL flip is better sounding and louder, but provides only 3 hours of battery at max volume. Number 2, the speakerphone. If speakerphone function is of importance to you, stop reading this review and don't buy it. This is the worst feature of the Crasher. It sucks, but hey you have one and can use it. Number 3, the USB charging feature. This is very nice to have. It can charge phones and MP3 players. However, it will not charge tablets bigger than 7 inches. In conclusion, the crasher provides good sound with good bass and highs and mids, although not at a super loud volume. It has a great battery, and durable and good looking design, and can charge your phones. I strongly recommend it.
