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.

I would give it zero stars if I could. We have had it for less than a year. And the battery does not keep a charge anymore. Therefore it is useless. It was convenient for showers and as a speaker for random things around the house but now it doesn’t turn on and it hasn’t even been a year yet. Don’t waste your money.

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.

Wanted a speaker I could listen to my podcasts while I shower. This fits the bill and works great. The audio quality for the talking podcasts I listen to is good and loud but don't expect high quality, bass-thumping from this little guy. Make sure to get a good grip with the suction cup otherwise it will fall. Had it happen a few times to me but it continues to work with no issue. Battery life is roughly a recharge every third or fourth day with once a day use. For the cost it gets the five star rating.

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.
