Pros: Great battery life, plenty loud, plenty of bass, pretty lightshow, EQ adjustment through app.
Despite that, honestly, I kind of hate it. I rarely use it.
The default sound signature for the speaker is incredibly muddy and warm. If you're listening to any speaking (podcast, youtube, whatever), the voices are muffled, muted, and drowned out. If you're listening to music, the treble completely fades away under the low-mids and bass. The lower end of the midrange is really where the issue is - it overpowers the entire sound range and drowns everything out.
Now, you can use EQ to correct that, which makes this speaker sound a lot better, though still not where I'd like it to. One problem - I feel as if the EQ setting never "sticks". I set it where I need it, it sounds solid, I go to use it another day and it sounds muddy again. It's hardly been consistent.
If you like warm, booming sound, and that's in line with your musical tastes, this might actually be the ideal speaker for you. On the other end, if you're like me and prefer soundstage, clarity, and separation, you may end up hating this speaker as much as I do. For what it's worth, I'm one of the few people who actually likes the airy sound of the Audio Technica ATH-AD series.
That's my 80 cents. I use the $10 H2GO speaker I got years ago on a deal more than this one because it's generally just more usable in everyday contexts... which is a disappointing reflection of my experiences with this speaker.

EDIT: That is to say, multiple sound cores can be connected to the same device. We have enough people for movie night on the inflatable screen where a second speaker would come in handy.
Telling me to add $50 more to use code

Appreciate you writing all of this, but I doubt anyone buying a 60 dollar outdoor party speaker is worried about sound signatures
Worked for me, I do have walmart+ or whatever it's called, not sure if tha makes a difference
