I bought this INSMY speaker to replace a JBL Micro Wireless I had for years until it finally started and to croak. I wanted something waterproof and similar in style and quality to my old one, so I was delighted to find this. I got the speaker in pastel purple and I’m so pleased with how it sounds. It’s *VERY* comparable in sound quality but is more stylish than my old JBL. I can’t hear much of a difference— the INSMY one might sound a little better actually— but I’m no audiophile.
Battery life seems to be adequate (I use it when I’m showering or getting ready in the bathroom and think I have to charge maybe once every two weeks). I like that is has a USB-C charge port rather than a micro USB. I think the volume buttons and other controls would have been better on the side of the speaker rather than on the back, and a skip/rewind button would have been nice. I don’t take it all the way into the shower with me though so I usually just use my phone as the control anyway.
It does take just *slightly* longer to connect to bluetooth than my JBL, but it’s such a negligible difference I don’t think it bother the average user.
These would make great gifts or stocking stuffers around the holidays. If you’re thinking about spending the money on JBL or a similar brand, I highly recommend trying this one out first. Great value for the price.
