Packed Party 'Turn it up' wireless speakers


I've bought 3. 2 have failed in less than a year; I don't expect the third will last much longer. The first stopped turning on, no matter what I did, even when it was plugged into power; the battery still holds a charge (I took it apart.). The USB jack of the second broke. It's flimsily attached to a small circuit board. I expect that will happen to the third eventually. Otherwise it's okay for a cheap wireless bluetooth speaker. It supports 'True wireless stereo': when 2 speakers are on they can be paired, divide the channels between them.

Hi,

Maybe invest in quality speakers. I have a few party speakers that I have had for a few years. These speakers are used daily and have no problems.

On one occasion I had to forget the device for some reason but nothing since. I use a few different stream services and the only problem can be buffering and miscue of songs. Which can be frustrating when shuffling songs.

You get what you pay for!

My Towers were 50 bucks used and about 100 miles away. They were even stored outdoors under a tarp. Cuz 50 bucks for 2 towers.
I use pioneer amp rated at 100 watts per channel and is controlled by my headphone jack on my linux computer using xmms or mocp in the motorcycle shop. All controls work on amp.

This setup is now decades old. Worst thing I had to do was buy some good quality contact cleaner and use it.
Wife bought me a bone phone headset which is bluetooth controlled. Pretty trippy but already the blue charging lite does not change to white led when full. Cheap bic lighter tech. Like my amp setup better.

.pls, .mtu. No problemo streaming radio stations on that shop box. Same could be said for bone phones. When they are working.
Battery charge only good for 4 hours. Since it is small unit that fits over your ear and the sound vibration enters your skull bone.

I was informing, not complaining. I don't need quality speakers.
