Um, WOW?! More than I dared hope for!
August 13, 2023…Loud! I doubted the volume capability, but the ratings averaged 4.7 at the time, so thought I’d risk it. So happy that I did! The sound is wonderful! Clearly, it doesn’t sound like a set of Bose speakers (I assume. I certainly can’t afford Bose…well, anything) but the sound is nicely rich and full FOR A SMALL PLASTIC SPEAKER. Please don’t expect even the sound you’d get from a half-decent pair of computer speakers, though. You have to be reasonable with your expectations; I was afraid this might be tinny and not loud enough, but it’s certainly not what I’D call “tinny”! (Certainly WAAAAAAAY better than the plastic transistor radios of my youth, and don’t even mention the terrible, tinny sound from the speaker in my phone!!!) This will be a great addition to the kitchen, because it not only has great sound, but now I also have a good place to sit my phone, and in a position where I can see my recipe without straining! So, so happy! Of course, I’ve only had it for a couple of hours so far, so, yeah, time will tell – but really, really pleased so far!It was easy to pair (look for X8 on the device list). Holds my Moto G7 Power phone vertically or horizontally with no problem. I have not tried it with my Kindle Fire 8+ yet; I can see that the arm will PROBABLY have to come all the way down to support the tablet on the front of the speaker, as the weight of the Fire is substantially more than that of the phone, but I see no problem there. When I lowered the phone on the stand to that “all the way down” position, I detected no negative change in the speaker’s sound, even though “all the way down” on the arm then puts the speaker behind the device sitting on the arm. The volume on this is loud enough that it shouldn’t be an issue.As far as the volume goes, this speaker does NOT have a volume control that is separate & unconnected to the phone volume control – when you use the volume buttons on this speaker, the volume control panel on the phone pops up on the screen, just as if you were controlling the volume using the PHONE’S volume control buttons. I was hoping they would be unconnected, like the volume control is on the little speakers I currently have in the kitchen. With those, the volume control on the phone itself does NOT change when I use the in-line volume wheel on the speaker jack wire. I prefer this arrangement, but as I’ve said, the volume on this little powerhouse speaker is loud enough that I don’t miss the “separated” volume control that I have on the other little speakers.i DO want to mention the strange little issue with charging, though. When I first plug it into a USB C charging cable, the red “charging” light flashes on very briefly, then goes out. It doesn’t come on & stay on unless I leave it alone for abt 15 minutes (plugged in) and then unplug & replug it in immediately. Then it charges just fine. I don’t know if this is a regular thing, or if it’s just an anomaly in this one speaker. Regardless, it’s not that bothersome to me, so that’s why I still give it a 5-star rating.I will be interested to do a side-by-side comparison of this speaker to my current kitchen speakers (Elenker or something, I believe – 2 small speakers made to act as a soundbar for a laptop, and requiring a USB plug to power them) because I have been quite pleased with the sound quality they’ve offered. I had to get some jack adapters to cut the static on the Elenkers as soon as I got them, because the static was horrendous; but once that was dealt with, the sound has been quite nice. Problem is, they are very cheaply wired, so now they cut out if I move the phone around at all. Seems like the headphone jack/USB power wire is loose, or somehow dodgy, where it connects inside the speaker, so I expect they’ll die at some point, but they’ve been so wonderful to have in the kitchen. Music is a life-saver in the kitchen!If this Comiso speaker lasts, and continues to sound like it does, it will help to ensure that people continue to get fed. I realize that I kinda hate cooking. Especially prep. However, I LOVE having cooked, if it turns out well & people like it, so it works out in the end. Music really helps get me through it, and I’m pretty certain that this little speaker/stand combo will keep the music and the fairly good food a-rollin’ out da kitchen, soooo….As always, will update if anything changes.DEC., 2023 update:This little speaker is still going strong. I don’t use it every day, by any means, but at least with light use, it’s still going strong. I was considering getting 3 or 4 more to give as little gifts, but now the price has gone up, so, no. I was fine paying $20 for it, but NOT fine paying abt $27. What a shame. These would make nice little gifts for people who want to be able to listen to music that isn’t from a tinny phone speaker, or watch videos with decent sound & a place to sit the phone at a good viewing angle.Oct., 2024 -Still loving it!The one thing I would like to see added is a headphone jack, JIC you want to connect with something that doesn’t have bluetooth, or you want to have a more private phone conversation when using a phone that doesn’t have a headphone jack….

Great Sounds….Little Package!
This has got to be my favorite purchase this fall. This little Bluetooth speaker has an amazing sound. Its small and compact. Super easy to take along anywhere….it fits in your pocket book! The connectivity is very simple. Its the perfect gift or stocking stuffer too. The price point is economically affordable for everyone. Don’t wait….buy it now!

Nice Speaker
I purchased this when I started working from home. I anticipated using my cell phone more than normal. The speaker is great for speaker calls. It holds my phone and it is a larger IPhone 14 Pro Max. The volume has a good range and is easily turned on or off.

Nice and loud
I use it in the garage. Good volume
