Review: For the Bathroom Listeners on a Budget - I am one of those guys that does not like using headphones. I am also very particular about the kind of speakers I purchase. So, when I finally decided to take the plunge and invest in a speaker that would help me enjoy my music in the bathroom and at the pool, I decided not to take the plunge and just dip my toe into the waters. I did so by buying the Mini H20. My expectations were really low. I am forever sceptical about bluetooth speakers, and this time was no different. Considering I was getting these for under 1900, I thought it would be a good time as any to take a leap of faith, and I was pleasantly surprised! The speakers (for their size) are really really good. While there is barely any room for proper bass, it does provide some semblance of bass, and for a speaker of this size, it is definitely commendable. === What you should buy this for === If you are on a tight budget and you are kind who really likes your instrumental music (Arijit Singh, Yanni, Vanessa Mae, John Coltrane, all sound really good. As do Adele, Frank Sinatra, and Dido. Right from songs like Sanam Re to Take Five sound really clear. For vocals, instrumental, and such like, this is a definite buy. === What you should not buy this for === If you like really tight bass and cannot compromise on it at any rate, this is not for you (C'mon, these are palm sized with half a nanometre drivers). You should look really hard and get yourself a set of Altec Lansing MX 5021 and retire. (Yes, the 5021s are that good!) --- If you catch yourself smiling at the songs that I have mentioned in the 'what you should buy this for' section, hesitate no more. You will not go wrong. Take it along with you to the bath, put it in the tub, listen to it underwater (with the speaker side on the water) - it floats, and you will have one hell of a time. PS: There is a carabiner provided with the speaker, and it is very flimsy. But it is definitely up to the task of holding the speaker hanging to a hook!
Review: Mini Atom Bomb - To start with, let me tell you.. this is one little atom bomb of a speaker. Never ever come across anything as good as this within 2k budget range. I have used the JBL, Philips and logitec.. but Altec Lansing mini H2O is uncomparable! Cons:- 1) One of the smallest portable speakers 2) Modern rugged design with ergonomics 3) As described, waterproof / everything proof 4) Crisp and clear audio with unbeliveable treble and bass 5) Easy pairing via bluetooth 6) Aux option available. 7) Rechargeable inbuilt battery leaves you with approx 2.45 - 3 hours on continuous / simultaneous track change playback at 100% volume. Company claims 6 hours on 60% volume level. 8) Weightless yet sturdy built. Cons:- 1) battery could have been better.. atleast the device should have given 4 hours on continuous playback with 100 % volume. With the above mentioned pros and cons, i dont think the cons are something that should come into the picture. So guys, do not think twice if you want to buy a portable speaker within 2000 rs range.. this is the one for you. You wont regret buying it..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ JUST GO FOR IT😀
*by T***! on 23 January 2017*

In the box: Speakers,USB cable,aux. cable,documentation,carbiner(as visible in the pic) Price: got for ₹1299/-(used for 2-3 months so far with absolutely no issue) About product: The speakers does connect to ANY bluetooth device seamlessly and does it's job perfectly.10 hours is real life run-time. Audio quality:To be Honest it is the BEST when it is compared to any other Bluetooth speaker and the brand speaks for itself.But also it cannot be compared to any wired headphones or speakers because both are 'Apples and Oranges'.Any person can feel the difference when compared with any wired speakers but it cannot offer the portability that any Bluetooth speaker offers.I t is up to you to decide on your preference. Upside: Top notch quality(absolutely water proof-been using during showers,dust proof simply ALL PROOF:) ).LITTLE BEAST when it comes to audio quality,it easily fills an average to fairly big room with BIG sound. Downside: No playback buttons. MADE IN CHINA(if it is an issue for you). Nitty-gritty: BASS is the strong point. Treble is decent. Highs and Lows are fairly audible. Verdict: Highly recommended product for its pure quality not only for its build(material) but for why it is built(audio quality) if you can ignore the minor downside points mentioned above. Note:I will update the pics of my speaker shortly as and when I get my camera. Thank you, Have a Good day☺
