Great speaker amazing sound

As portable wireless speaker go, this one is pretty unique. It's larger than most - 3.5" per side. The controls are on top, speaker in front, connections in the rear. It has an Escher-esq look to it, the patterns changing with the light and shadows. Stare at the speaker side long enough and you see skyscrapers and a Q-Bert playing field. Man, I need a life.

Anyway, it charges fast - in under two hours. Pairing took moments and is common sense. I can play music via Bluetooth from my iPod while it charges. You can control the volume from both the cube and the iPod. I maxed the volume on the cube, then use the iPod.

I did not try the audio cable - what's the point? I want Bluetooth, and that works great.

The coating has a rubber/grippy feel, and the base grips well.

The rear, as I mentioned earlier, has the connections - micro-USB and 1/8" stereo jack. The micro-USB is strictly for charging. There's a colored LED that lets you know when it's charging (red) and full (green.) It also flashed blue when Bluetooth is working. So if the USB cable is plugged in and the unit is full, you have a solid green light that flashed blue every couple of seconds. Unplug the cable and you'll see a blue LED flash eery few seconds.

The coolest thing about this Lumsing Bluetooth Speaker is that it does not look like a speaker. The audio quality is typical of these smaller, low power consumption speakers. It's a little large for a travel speaker - but at a desk, it's perfect - especially since the speaker is so directional. Crank the power all the way and it can be heard a room away. If you're looking for a smaller, decent speaker Bluetooth, this will suit the bill!
