This is a great speaker. It was purchased for my husband who wears hearing aids. He loves it. The whole family loves it. We have taken it to the beach without fearing damaging it. Have only needed to charge a couple of times since Christmas. We love sharing music with the family and what a great way to do it then huddling around someone`s phone. It has been great listening to podcasts when I am busy with my hands in the yard. My daughter used it for parties with friends around the fire pit. We highly recommend this speaker. I would also say it is very easy to use. Even the less tech savvy person could use. If you can find you Bluetooth on your device you can connect it.
