DOCKIN D FINE 50W HiFi Bluetooth Speaker - Portable Mini Sound System with Clear 2-Way Stereo, Loud Bass & Built-In Power Bank - Waterproof, Dust-Proof IP55 Body for Outdoor Use - 10-Hour Play Time

Awesome speaker. What more can I say.Well, this is a slightly larger Bluetooth speaker than most but for that you get something with a great range of abilities. The sound quality is great, the volume it can deliver is truly outstanding for something you can pick up and carry around. The frequency range is excellent, sounding great from low down bass to the top of the music frequency range.I have just used this at a scout and cub camp to entertain the kids in a wood out in the open around a camp fire. It was easily able to cope with around 50 loud scouts and cubs and still be satisfyingly loud and clear above their noise levels without distorting or rattling. The bass levels were particularly excellent and utterly amazing considering we were outdoors.Back at home in the bedroom at much lower volumes the sound is still great, no background hiss and still giving a full frequency range at low volume. This really can cope with giving great sound in so many situations.Mine came with a power supply that can be switched from UK to European pins so don't even need a travel adapter unless you go to the US.Looking at other reviews the voice prompts are not to everyone's liking but they don't bother me. They are fairly unobtrusive I would guess less than 10% of the max volume.Any negative comments I have are very minor and to be expected considering what this speaker can do.1) It can't be charged from a USB cable.2) It would take up quite a lot of your luggage allowance if you took this on holiday.Where I use this speaker neither of these issues are a problem. If you need something that can go this loud on holiday then put up with the weight. It can go way too load for a hotel room anyway and you will not win any friends on a beach or camp site with it either.As for the charging issue, it needs a big battery to power the amp for so long. Consequently any USB charging would be just too slow.To get over these issues I have a Jam-2 and a Jam Heavy Metal which are much lighter and both sound brilliant as well.On holidays and in the kitchen I use the Heavy Metal unless I am really limited for weight.The Jam-2 I keep in my laptop bag for emergency music.In all other situations the Dockin D Fine is the speaker of choice.This really is one of those devices that exceeded my expectations.By the way. I paid my own money for this speaker. So this is my unbiased opinion.

After reading a fair amount reviews good and not so good I'm really impressed. I use it as a DJ speaker when im having a mess about and practising. To be honest I have tried a number of different genre of music and I have to say I'm impressed. As many review people have said the speaker is bass heavy and I guess I agree but it's a good amount of base. I have tried listening to even classical and the amount of treble and mid range work well with bass.The build of the speaker is phenomenal. Produced by a German company makes you understand why the Germans make their cars with such outstanding quality. This unit is solid and robust and made so very well.I have connected the speaker to various devices including apple and Android device and it's instant and I have walked away with the device and the distance of the connection is very good.I'm so glad that I didn't buy a UE megaboom or JBl or even a Bose speaker. I would've spent all that money for nothing. I purchased the speakers for £80 on Amazon special limited deal and I'm really quite chuffed. There is a model up called the 'plus' but in honestly I don't think you need to spend the extra money. Obviously different people have different opinions and I have had so many Bluetooth speakers in the past and I'm blown away buy the sound and quality. I have to this speaker is a heavy unit and would be heavy if you was planning to take on holiday but I think I will anyway :)

I have been testing this speaker out with the JBL Xtreme and i have to say the dockin out performs the JBL! its a lot cheaper, the build quality is excellent and just sounds much more punchy and clearer than the JBL. At full volume it does not distort and the drivers can handle the sound it definitely tuned better than the JBL speaker. The JBL still sounds excellent but i prefer the sound of the dockin it feels more rugged and the speakers are protected with a mesh cage. The JBL speakers are not covered from the sides so have to be more careful. both are the best bluetooth speakers on the market for size and portability. i wish the dockin had the ability to attach a strap like the JBL though. The dockin is also 50 watts rms where as the JBL has 40 watts rms and this is why the dockin out performs the JBL. at loud volumes you will clearly notice the difference.
