Bought 2 of these yesterday using the PAYPAL10 coupon, and shipping to my house. They were delivered about 2 hours ago. Total was $43.20
can you give me a breakdown on how you got 2 for $43.20?

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank abstractedpudding

I received my two today and did some testing after updating the firmware. It appears that the individual speakers are indeed stereo have have distinct left and right drivers (logo facing towards, side buttons away for the correct orientation).

You can pair them duplicate the sound, but it doesn't actually seem to have one speaker as a discrete left channel and the other as a discrete right channel. In fact, as soon as you put the first speaker in "partycast" mode, it stops the stereo effect of that speaker and basically switches to a mono playing the combined stereo channels simultaneously in both drivers within the first speaker. Each subsequent speaker just duplicates this.

So, you actually get MORE of a stereo effect using a single speaker than two paired. (By stereo effect I mean discrete left and right channels, not just a stereo signal mixed down to mono and coming from two sources.) I guess it makes sense when you can pair 100 speakers to avoid having to assign left and right channels, but for those who want to enjoy both left and right channels from separate speakers, these are not the speakers for you.

Tip for getting the PAYPAL10 code to work: Create a new account. I could not get it to work no matter what I tried on my usual Walmart account. Order total must also be min. $50.

Doh! It makes sense but I never trust speakers to decide what Chanel is mono

Seems like they just mixed it down from my test. In single speaker mode, you could clearly hear left channel sounds from one side and right channel from the other. As soon as the PartyCast mode is enabled, it seems both channels came from both sides. So, the good news it that you aren't losing a channel. The bad news is that you're not getting any kind of stereo effect once you enable PartyCast.

Definitely can't get this coupon working for me. Keeps telling me to add $50 to my cart.

i have had this for 3-4 days now, and with EQ, it actually sounds pretty good

but the max volume (depending on the song), ends up being at 40% in the worst case scenario. maybe 50% with songs that don't clip the audio

i think i can't use it without the eq now so I will probably return it

try this to start with and change as you see fit (make sure to turn off bass boost, since the eq is going to boosting the bass):
+4 80hz
+2 150hz
-1 300hz
-2 500hz
-2 700hz
-1.2 1000hz
-1 5000hz
+0.5 8000hz
+2 12000hz

I got an "order delayed" message that day and no updates since. Anyone else had this and any idea what I should do?

Just wait a few days. Order Delayed just means they are out of stock in your area. I got "order delayed" a few days ago then today it updated saying it would be shipped from a local store. A few hours later, the pacakge was delivered

As someone who bought two now, there is a delay between for bluetooth transmitted audio on these, about roughly 500ms.
