Philips S7807 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker, 7000 Series – 40W Output, IP67 Waterproof, 24-Hour Playtime, Portable with Built-in Microphone, Voice Assistant, USB-C, and Power Bank, Black

I got a dud, but it got replaced. Now I’m a believer in the sound quality I’ve been missing
This is an amazing speaker, truly. I have some qualms about it, but nothing that’s going to take a star away. Sometimes the sound for audiobooks aren’t as good as my Jteman phone stand speaker. But, overall, this is far superior of a speaker. It can be cumbersome to have to carry around when I want to just travel around from one room to another.But for audiobooks, let me say, this book does NOT cut out ANY PARTS of the story. IF I’m going back to relisten to a part, it’s because I lost focus on what was said. Easy to do like right now when I’m listening to my newest story, and writing up this review. I could loose a detail or two.I LOVE that I can just turn the speaker on and hit play. I forgot just HOW MUCH I loved it. I had a Tidbit, but regardless that I hadn’t used to speaker except for a few times in the first year, and then set it aside and forgot about it because it was purchased as my outdoor speaker. And I got too sick to be able to HAVE that “outdoor life” that I had had when I purchased the speaker. The speaker last year went “bad.” And when reaching out to the company over it. I was told the plug was bad, and could get a 10% discount on a new one. I was thinking WHY would I want to buy a NEW one when I didn’t even get a LIFE of a YEAR out of the other one?! No! Not worth the money. So I bought the Jteman while I looked into what one I really wanted to replace that speaker.I am not one to like to have to waste good products, so I forgot to ever replace it. Until my son asked me for a speaker. I was like, YES! So, back to the search I went. Now having experience with two different kinds, I had a MUCH better idea of what I wanted. I began to compare battery life because the Jteman was having to be charged nightly. I listen to my stories for HOURS in a day. So I wanted at LEAST 12 hours, if not longer. I began looking into what the IPSX vs IP67 and all of those were since I was seeing it everywhere. Wanting to know what the difference was. Still not 100% sure IF the waterproof/ dustproof is better. But for me, it seems like it would be. In all the speakers in all its fashions that I’ve seen they seem to say, “waterproof” but then have BIG warnings about HOW the water should be used around the speaker. This one wasn’t AS cautious, and I assume that’s because if the water gets on it, it’s nothing. You just shouldn’t submerge it beyond a certain point for too long. Not an intention for me anyways, but knowing that SHOULD my clumsy self or sons spill water on it, it’s NOT death by cup.The next amazing detail to love, this battery life is 24 hours. I’ve been listening to my audiobooks about 12 hours I believe, and I STILL have two bars left on the battery. I charged it up on Sunday and began listening THAT NIGHT as I went to bed. That’s an AMAZING BATTERY LIFE! I keep THINKING I should be charging it because I mean, our phones we have to. Our other devices we often HAVE to at SUCH a frequent rate, but here’s something used equally as long, and it’s STILL filled with charge! This is what you want in a power outage! That’s for sure!The watts of the speaker, which is NOT something I’d REALLY EVER paid attention to before. But thank you Fender for YOUR speaker for drawing my attention to a larger watt speaker! I didn’t REALIZE there was SUCH a difference. I mean, I began comparing them, even going back to my Tidbit and seeing what IT have on Jteman. Then looking at SkullCandy, and JBL speakers, and that Fender one. I mean you think ten isn’t large, but then suddenly you see how some are only TWO, most sitting at four! Fender eight watts. This speaker has 40 watts. I get suspicious of course! So I look into OTHER speakers. There ARE 60 watt speakers, so it’s NOT far fetched for a 40 watt speaker to exist. The impressive thing, is that these are in Bose Speakers and others like it, and ALL that over the $150 mark! This one is $80 right now, selling for $85 other times. I mean, it feels like a steal.Here’s an amazing “hat trick” you can set up multiple speakers with just the hit of a button, and have impressive surround sound. OR you can link it to multiple devices and pick and choose the devices to play through the device at any one time. In all the speakers I’ve had in the past, it’s always been where you have to deselect a speaker from the Bluetooth list, and then reselect it from a new device.I won’t lie that I wish when I’m resting, and coming out of haze of sleep. When I want to keep my eyes closed, but have some audio of some kind. But NOT have to root around electronics in order to fuss with it. Or MOVE too much to manage getting it going. Having a remote to just get it going, would be AMAZING! But, I mean, it’s so waterproof, I don’t know how a remote could be effective? I mean, there is NOTHING to take away.So WHY the four out five? Well, there ARE reviews that mention how some of the speakers don’t connect, or won’t play any sounds. Unfortunately, I had one that was a dud. It was clearly connected to my phone. I have the noise levels on my phone turned on. I have hearing loss, and so it’s a good recommendation. So I could see the sound moving up and down, seeing it go from green to yellow as it would from any normal story being read. I connected it to other devices, but no luck. It was just defective. I contacted Philips, but they said I’d have to pay to get it repaired, and since it was just a day old, so they suggested reaching out to the seller. Which was Amazon, and they were AMAZING at helping me get this taking care of. I got a new one next day, and it works EXACTLY how you’d expect it to. So I figured one star for the inconvenience of it all was a fair review. But trust when I say, HAD that ONE DUD speaker NOT been in my life. This would be a complete 5/5. This is an amazing speaker, and VERY happy that I got it! IF you bang it, drop it, it’s fairly kid and clumsy person safe! And for ME, that’s an investment worth having! I don’t want to spend $80 and then have to walk around like I have a vase in my arms. This is industrious! And glad to have it!I thought the way the strap goes on, that CRAP, it will slide undone, but NOT TRUE. It’s kept in place as I’ve had to SWING it around my body MANY of times at night so I can get packed up to travel from one area to another! It’s not come loose yet. So though it’s NOT QUITE been a week into FULLY OWNING, considering the HOURS I’ve put into listening. I’m sold! I’m ready to go sell this to someone as something to invest in!Video’s sound is taken at half way up.

El equipo dejó de funcionar
Solo pude utilizarlo en tres oportunidades, luego dejó de funcionar. Ni siquiera enciende.

Disappointed
Why did you pick this product vs others?:PEase of use:Phillips 

Good, fairly powerful speakers
First off, let me say, I think it’s ridiculous, and very unhelpful, that Amazon lumps together reviews for several, very different, speakers. Please note, this is for the outdoor large variety.Unfortunately, there are very few reviews of this product to be found on the internet. I was a bit apprehensive to try them at the original $199 price point but I waited a bit and the price, for a while, came down to $85.I bought two to take advantage of the stereo pairing, and have been fairly pleased.I would recommend a placement near, but not up against, a wall to take advantage of the passive radiators in the back, and as close as possible to ear level for better treble response.The sound quality and power level are both pretty good, especially if you can get the pair for $170.I mostly use them outdoors, but they would definitely fill a good sized room with decent sound. Again, I would recommend bringing them up above floor level for better high end response.Pairing was easy and Bluetooth range seems very good.

Audio muy legible y buen bajo, la potencia del sonido es muy limitada.
