Creative Airwave Portable Bluetooth NFC Speaker

I own two of these Airwaves. The battery life is amazing (I leave it in my car to listen to podcasts from my phone - ghetto car stereo). I leave the other in our kitchen which my wife uses more than me. Pros: + Battery Life lasts longer than my phone + Battery Life lasts multiple days + Battery Life / Device turns off automatically when I leave it turned on but walk away with my phone. This saves the battery from going dead + Loud enough to listen to it in the car, but... Cons: - Could be louder: Loud enough to listen in the car for music but for certain podcasts where the speakers don't have their volume as loud as you want - it can be a challenge. - Not all about the bass: When this is outside, it's pretty directional and lacks the bass of a Bose Link (or whatever the fancy Bose speakers are called) - STUPID off switch: lacks a dedicated off switch. You have to hold down the power button 8-12 seconds and then it prompts you and you have to push it again for 8-12 seconds to turn off. Sounds simple, but the button is recessed so it's something you really have to push in. Perhaps I just have chubby fingers, or I'm spoiled, but it's annoying. So I just let it automatically turn off and leave it 99% of the time. - Battery doesn't always turn off. Occassionally - when I leave it it doesn't turn off and does drain dead. I've not figured out why exactly, about 1 in every 10 times. Otherwise - it lasts a week or more per charge. Depends on how long I'm using it.
