I work as a letter carrier with a walking route so having music and the speaker being lightweight is important so I was looking for an alternative to the Eco Extreme waterproof speaker I own seeing at that thing is bulky and the volume control is a manual knob...still use it while kayaking though. I have had the Sol for a few weeks now and can speak with a some use under my belt. As I said, I work a walking route and the battery lasts all day for me. One thing though, because it comes with a dual charger I pretty much charge it after work while charging my phone so I really haven't pushed it to see exactly how long the battery will last but I do agree it will go all day. It paired up pretty easily and quickly with both an ipod and iphone - one click on both. As for size, I usually throw it in my bag as I deliver or put it in my breast pocket, and although a bit large for the breast pocket it does work and I did get used to the size. Compared to the Eco Extreme it is about half the thickness and (surprising to me) a tad heavier but not noticeable probably due to being less boxy. I was looking for an inexpensive speaker with good sound that could take some abuse and I believe the Sol is that speaker. For a small speaker it does deliver quality sound (deep bass is meh but again for $50 you're not buying floor speakers) and the volume does get pretty loud. I have placed it in a room while doing dishes and laundry and it works well as a small room speaker as well. The sock/cover that comes with it is nifty as well and has probably spared mine from some scratches plus it has held up very well for as many times (charge it nightly with phone) that I've removed it. Overall I'm pretty happy with it and have no complaints maybe I'll update if anything does go wrong.

perfect for roadtrips
I bought a second unit just now as I used it on a roadtrip in my car to replace the in-car stereo system. Can't say that the party mode worked well but probably due to user error. I was surprised how large it was physically but it fit into the armrest perfectly in my car - see photo in an 2002 Acura MDX.Having owned a Jambox before this is a nice upgrade. Going to use the second unit for my spring bike rides in the backpack with the family.I had initially purchased it without looking at the newer model but after reading the reviews, sounded like this older model is a better value, especially at the prices that Amazon's sellers are listing for now.
