Home Speaker with Premium Audio | Rich Bass, Rotary Dial for Volume Control | Toggle Switch, Wireless Bluetooth & 3.5mm Aux Input for Turntable | Record Player, AC Powered (Upgraded Version)

I bought a Tewell several months back to have for a speaker in the garage. This thing sounded so good and plently loud, I knew at the time I made a good purcahse. I just received my second one to go up to our cabin. I'm playing it now..... Both were also very easy to set-up; in fact no set up was required really - just plug in, pull up the bluethooth setting on the iphone and bang, it's off an running. What I really like about this speaker (aside from ease of set-up, loudness and overall sound/frequency response) is:-It has a real concentric volume pot to adjust volume! Wierd! Huge priority when I was looking at a speaker in the first place. I HATE up/down arrows to adjust volume. 1, You can't ever see them. 2, They are slow to respond and sloppy. A real knob was a must! This has it and is very smooth to boot. I needed the ability to quickly reach over, without looking and turn the speaker down "in real time"; the only way to achive that is with a real knob. Did I say I like the traditional concentric type knob/pot?-It has a real toggle power switch!! Wow, will the wonders ever cease?! A real honest-to-goodness power switch that flips on or off. Simple yet effective. You can look and immeditatly see the status. No "slop" in powering up with push button types where you have to hold down for 5 seconds and hope it comes on, hold and push down for another 5 seconds to turn off. ARRGGG, those suck! It lights up immediately upon the flip of the on switch to let you know its ready.-Lastly, it is a cool looking retro style speaker with a 60's style face cloth that reminds me of an old VOX guitar amplifer. Both mine are covered in the brown "leather" to furthur add to the retro/guitar amp look. all this combined with the chrome toggle switch and knob make this a functional and attractive package.Its very sturdy and fells "quality", not cheap. It has some weight to it and is NOT portable as it must have AC mains pluged in to function (or 14 VDC input). So this is not the speaker for you if you require it to go portable without power. The bass frequencies are great for such a "small" speaker and the port on the rear really is functional as you can fell it move air on certain songs that have alot of low frequencies. The only thing that may make this perfect overall is if it had at least a 2-band parametric EQ... But hey, what do you want for $50?!A+, 5 stars!!!

The quality of this bluetooth speaker is incredible! I own two (black and brown) and I am very happy with the purchase. The speaker is powerful (especially considering the size) and it produces a crisp sound with no distortion and no vibration even at the highest volume setting. Highs and lows are very good and bass is deep. The speaker pairs easily and fast with any bluetooth device. If you pair it with your phone or a bluetooth mp3/mp4 player, you can control the volume and change tracks through your device, without having to get up and do it manually using the speaker controls.The speaker looks GREAT, and it has a wonderful vintage/retro style. It comes in black or dark brown leather and both versions look amazing. I particularly like the gold/brass controls, which look and feel great and are very responsive. You can tell it is a well-made product by the fact that in high volumes or when playing tracks that are a bit heavy on the bass, there are no vibrations coming from the speaker (always a problem with low quality speakers, some of which are actually much more expensive than this one).The speaker also comes with a retro-looking AUX cable for connecting devices that do not have a bluetooth (an added bonus, since you can increase the number of playback devices you can connect to the speaker). Regarding the seller, they have an incredible customer service support. They answered all my questions very quickly and dealt with every issue I had in a professional and prompt way. Highly recommended, can't beat the price and quality. I will be buying a couple more in the future to give as gifts to loved ones.

I dislike the sound quality coming out of my computer speakers, so I looked for a unit that would take over that job. This works out quite well. The build quality is excellent, the sound quality is very good (mono, not stereo), and the layout and features are very nice. It came with a 3.5mm aux cable to hook up between my computer headphone jack and the Tewell. The volume can get very loud, yet still clear. It can get distorted if the computer volume level is all the way up, but just pull it back a bit, and it helps.Two minor quibbles keeping this from a 5-star review: While the Tewell has Bluetooth and it works very well and plays audio from my iPhone with ease, when I turn the Tewell on, it defaults to the Bluetooth. Since I use the aux connection 90% of the time, this is a minor annoyance to have to manually switch every time -- it just requires pressing the Bluetooth button, but it would be cool if it just remembered the last setting. Also, the BT is incoming only -- not outgoing. It would be nice to have the BT broadcast to my headphones, but maybe this isn't technically possible. I don't know. It just means that I need to set up BT to my headphones through the computer each time when I don't want the Tewell playing through the speaker. Quibble #2 is no headphone jack -- same reason BT. To use my headphone, I need to disconnect the Tewell from the computer and plug in my headphones. Again, these are both minor annoyances that are probably my problem and not Tewell's.Overall, if you just want a nice-sounding (mono) speaker for playing tunes at your desk or in the garage (easily portable), I really like this. And it looks good too.
