this works great in the shower. i listen to music or podcasts with this speaker in a corner, and the hard tiles reflect the rearward facing speaker. exactly what i wanted.

when i start the unit up, it makes its chime and the iphone automatically syncs and starts playing through the speaker. the +/- buttons work the opposite way i thought they would - i accidentally move to the next podcast sometimes when trying to increase the volume.

I also would like to point out the bluetooth name is "funguy", which brings me much joy and hilarity as the speaker is shaped like a mushroom (i.e. fungi). well played, Monoprice.

so i was reading the other reviews and they said its not very loud. i found this kind of shocking and my main reason for giving my early review. i put it in my master bathroom and anywhere in my house i walked i could easily hear the music and still clearly understand the vocals. 3 bedroom 1200 sq ft. i think if anyone else in the house is sleeping i wont be able to use it at max volume without waking them

the sound quality is a disappointment for me. i still give it 4 stars because of its cheap price. i got it just because of its price. i didnt expect great sound so i wont give it a bad review based on that. but this is why it gets 4 and not 5 stars. the sound isnt bad, the best way for me to describe it is, its about the sound quality of your phone's speaker, but its much much louder and a little bit more bass.

ive only had it a few days so i havent tested the battery life, or how useful/effective the suction cup is. it sticks to bath tub walls, dresser, but didnt stick to back of my phone's case(its not flat). not sure how water protective it is either.

hopefully i can update this review later to fill in the things i need more time to test

PROS: way louder than a phone's speaker
stupid cheap

CONS: not that great sound quality(slightly better than a phone's speaker)

I gave one of these to both of my teenagers. Each is using them differently but enjoying it. The waterproof feature is nice for the weather and out on the boat. The included carabiner was instantly used and appreciated. The Bluetooth hooked up reasonably easy. good value.

Great cheap little speaker that has a decent battery life and surprising sound for its size.

I’m really pleased with the Funguy, especially considering the price! I use it at work and the sound quality is better than my IPhone, so I recommend it.

Works as advertised and plenty loud enough to augment my deficient laptop speakers. Great value for the $$.

Incredible what it does for 7 bucks. All your friends will want one.

PROS: East to use

CONS: No cons.

This is an awesome little speaker! It puts off enough sound for an office, desk or even kitchen area where it might be moist. The price is right and it's easy to carry around with the clip.

Funguy (Fungi?) its as great as it is cute!
If your looking for booming sound, this is not for you, but thats also not why you buy a little guy like this.

I was impressed. Better sound that i thought would come out of this guy for the price. Bought two of them, one for each of our kids. Works great in the shower for them to listen to music.

Great build quality - would buy again!

If you want to take your tunes around with you and not use a phone speaker, I recommend it. If you're one who likes to sing in the shower, even more recommended.
