DOSS SoundBox Touch Wireless Bluetooth Speaker-12W HD Sound with Rich Bass, IPX5 Waterproof, 20H Playtime, Ideal Christmas & White Elephant Gift for Men, Women, Teens, Office, Home, Travel-Blue

I was searching high and low for a Bluetooth Speaker to use with my existing Stereo System. I wanted to keep the AMP, Turntable, CD Player but ditch the Wired Speakers. To this end, I also purchased a Bluetooth Transmitter (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P20TFWM). I narrowed down the choice to the DOSS Touch and one other similarly priced speaker with similar specs. The DOSS was a bit cheaper and was 12 watts instead of 10. I planned to put it in a fairly large room (approx 17'x 19' living room open to a similar size dining room). I received my package and immediately tried pairing the speaker to my phone directly and playing some music. Totally smooth pairing and VERY GOOD BIG sound from the small speaker!! Easily filled the space. Then I attached the really tiny little transmitter to my Amp's headphone jack and held my breath while it paired seamlessly with the speaker. I put on a vinyl album and got good sound (crackles and all) through the speaker. Very loud room filling sound. As expected, BASS was a bit lacking and quality wasn't that great at higher volume. If I could, I would probably subtract 1/2 Star for this, but balancing the AMP volume control and SPEAKER volume control yielded pretty good sound at the sweet spot, and I was more than happy.Next, I put a CD in the CD Player and sound was better. Old vinyl, old needle probably responsible for some of the problems. My old AMP was also being a little recalcitrant about the response from the equalizer. Still Room Filling and satisfying and VERY LOUD.Then I tried the TAPE OUT from the AMP to the Bluetooth Rx/Tx box. As expected, the AMP volume control didn't have any effect, but by controlling volume on the speaker itself, I could get what seemed like better sound, probably due to the TAPE OUT having some pre-set levelling.Net result: SUCCESS! Of course, I would have preferred the separation of real stereo speakers (could have spent more on a pair of Bluetooths...) but the little Speaker that Could provided very good life for legacy Vinyl and CD's with the added benefit of ultimate portability of the battery powered speaker. What a concept! I could move the speaker almost anywhere (Living room, dining room, kitchen) and have great sound!Overall, sound was BETTER when streaming music from the iPhone than from Vinyl or CD's. I guess pure digital vs. Analog wins unless you have much higher end components than I do!!The DOSS Speaker was even better than expected, but of course not as good as the SONOS PLAY:3, or the PLAY:1 speakers I have for all other Music needs. Had I never experienced SONOS I probably would have been totally Blown Away by the DOSS Touch. Certainly, given the Price differential between the $29.99 Bluetooth Speaker and the $200-300 SONOS, I think I got pretty good BANG for the BUCK.Very happy with my purchase! Only worrisome thing is that when I charged it, it was on the charger for more than 2 hours and the red light never went out. Seems to work OK, and I don't expect to run it for HOURS at a time, but I hope it is charging correctly.Item was delivered quickly (PRIME!) and was well packaged and exactly as described.

It's been just over 6 years since I originally bought this speaker, & it's now dying slowly in the bathroom, for apparently the final time.Four years ago, my teens took it over & really tested that waterproof label - & it passed every test with flying colors. 3 hour long shower concerts? No problem. Dog showers? Easy. It's basically lived in the bathroom the last 4 years, without issue until tonight.The battery lasts for weeks with the way they use it. (I can't remember how often I had to charge it when I used it constantly.) It's easy to use, easy to connect, & the sound is great.

Really loud and good sound quality battery stays charged for a scary good amount of time. I’ve dropped mine off toolboxes and it still works great.

This is my second one - The sound quality is good, connectivity is easy, price is reasonable, and the operating time on a charge is great, but after about a year it just quit working. I replaced the battery (not something that is meant to be replaced but since it was already not working there was nothing to lose) but no luck. It will turn on, then immediately turn off. Hopefully I won’t have the same issue with #2.

Have been using this for a month or two now at work - longgggg battery life, sometimes it does get confused about what volume control to follow (Spotify internal vs the computer control vs itself) but mostly knows what it wants do to. Cute, loud, reliable. I’ve charged it very few times and use it literally all day in my office.

This is the 3rd of these speakers I have purchased. I love the size, ease of use, and quality of the sound considering the compact size. They maybe water resistant but I’m not willing to try that out. I also have 3 different colors.

So, I got the DOSS SoundBox Touch Wireless Bluetooth Speaker as a gift—for someone else. Did I get to hear it? Nope. Not even a peek, a whisper, or a secret jam session. Silence.But apparently, they like it. At least, that’s what they say. Could be genuine enthusiasm or just polite nodding and pretending it’s not gathering dust next to the coffee maker. Who knows?It’s got fancy touch controls and wireless Bluetooth tech, which sounds super impressive when you say it aloud. And judging by the looks, it’s sleek enough to convince you it’s way better than your old Bluetooth speaker that sounds like a busted tin can.So, while I can’t personally vouch for the sound quality (I mean, how do you review what you’ve never heard?), I’m awarding it five stars on the sheer hope that it’s not just background noise to awkward dinner conversations.If you get one, please invite me over for a listening party. Otherwise, I’ll just keep assuming it’s amazing. Or maybe just really polite.
