ASIMOM 45W (60W Peak) Bluetooth Speaker with Powerful Bass - Wireless Stereo Pairing, Built-in Mic, AC Plug-in - Modern Home & Office Speaker (Black) with Remote Control - Perfect for Parties, Workouts & Indoor Entertainment

I'm totally blind. I got this speaker to mainly use with my iPhone 13 PRO being the message alert on the iPhone is very poor as far as volume and would never get me up at night. When I first got this speaker, I found that their is a button on the frontt of it. This is the power button from my testing. Manual was poor for a blind person to determine what is what. A short press of the front button turns on the speaker and you will get a asending tone. It will then give 2 beeps. At this point, the speaker is in bluetooth pairing mode. A long press of the button on the front of the speaker will turn it off and you will get a desending tone. If your phone automatically connects to the speaker! You will get a tone letting you know that.Their are at least 3 buttons on the back of the speaker near the top of it. The top most is Answer call/Play Stop. The lower 2 are Volume down on the left side of the y Short press. Long press is previous track when playing music. Right side of the y is volume UP short press and Track forward when long pressed. The volume down has a minus and the volume up has a plus sign. I'm not 100% sure of how to switch modes on the speaker. I'm thinking you press the middle of the y but not for sure.For me, using it as a loud speaker for the iPhone 13 Pro to be able to hear the message alert tone when I'm sleeping it works well.When playing music from an Micro SD card, I don't really notice any base. The trevel is good. The volume at full music is also very good. Don't really notice any base not like a subwoofer would have as the description says.Don't know if you can change the base and the like on the speaker itself. Also don't know how to go back to the start of the Micro SD card when playing music. I got it to do it once or twice But not forsure how. So could be a few other buttons I'm not aware of. After all, the one I got I didn't get a remote control with it.Really nice speaker, bigger than anticipated. Very easy to set up. It has a pretty limited Bluetooth range however, and the remote quality is quite poor. Sometimes when I’m trying to raise or lower the volume, it instead presses down the skip or rewind button instead.Great product for the price!GREAT SOUND from a relatively small speaker. The best there is at this price point. While the speaker itself sounds great the lack of functionality really makes it difficult to use in some situations.. I have used two of these for two years. There is no way to turn these on remotely. There is no remote, nor any app nor any way to use your phone to turn these on or off or control them in any way other than changing the volume. You have to use the buttons on the speaker itself to turn it on. Ok, so that isn't so bad, but what is really annoying is if you pause playback for more than a few seconds the speakers turn themselves off. If you are busy doing something or wanting to rest and enjoy music or videos and you pause playback for several minutes you will have to go to the speaker and turn it back on.Not all bluetooth enabled source devices allow you to change the volume. If you have these paired to a bluetooth source that does not have an option to change volume you will have to go to the speaker to change the volume. I wanted to use these with a TV but it was impossible. I connected them by bluetooth to the TV but could not change the volume and every time I paused a TV show the speakers would turn off. IF DOSS ASIMOM simply made an app or included a remote these would be really great speakers. I have contacted Asimom to get a firmware update that will keep the speakers on even if playback is paused. I'll update with the results.Well aside from taking 20 days to get to me when it was supposed to take 1 day (thanks COVID), I'm glad I chose this product. Sound quality is everything to me (I am a musician). I had a Fugoo XL which served me well for about 3 years but finally kicked the bucket. I wanted something that sounds big, to replace a home stereo but with bluetooth convenience.Generally bluetooth speakers are small in order to be portable, but this approach sacrifices sound quality. Tiny speakers do not project much (ie. move air). For solid bass, you need a sub or radiator with good excursion because lows have longer waves due to their low frequencies. The Jewel Pro has one of each on top of its dual 2" (full range?) drivers.Having said all this, the Jewel Pro is fairly unidirectional (compared to the Fugoo). Its sound suffers if you are off-axis in spite of being angled for dispersion, but the sound really is good through a variety of genres. The Jewel Pro is louder than my Fugoo which was already acceptable. Can't wait to hear it with movies and I'm already considering another for stereo pairing. To boot, it was half the price of my Fugoo XL. It apparently has no battery so that makes it less flexible but the manual says to charge it?? Confusing. It also looks cool which is a bonus. So far so good, hope it lasts!Excellent sound in an attractive design. I've listened to a large variety of music and everything sounded great. A great bargain that fits my space perfectly. I will likely get a second one for stereo pairing. Highly recommend!I'm a music lover and sometimes singer songwriter, and I want to hear all of the players on a song. Canadian alt-rock is my favorite sub-genre but enjoy many others. This speaker is amazing for real instruments playing rock music!Uodate: bought a second one and oh my...lush stereo sound with pairing. Wow!I initially got this speaker so I could connect it to my phone and play music through it. It took about 30 seconds to set up from unboxing, connecting my phone and start playing music - really simple process. The volume can be controlled via your phone, or there is a "D-pad" on the back with volume controls, left to right. I like the shape and the fact it doesn't look out of place in the rest of the room. I might buy another and use it in place of a sound bar for the tv.I've met better and worse Bluetooth speakers. It has practically no base, yet it's good enough for the room I bought it for.Update: after owning this speaker for awhile I am dropping down to 2 stars. The sound quality is meh at best, and it's super frustrating from a bluetooth perspective due to its auto power off. It typically turns itself off within 5 minutes of idle time, which makes zero sense for a speaker that has constant power.I would not buy this again and plan on replacing it with something better.The speaker looks good and it's better than I expected. The bass is powerful and great for watching movies. 2.1 channelUpdate:So my speaker was faulty and switched off randomly but when I contacted customer service they replaced it ASAP. Now this one's good. They have a great customer service. Much appreciated
