My big gripe with this speaker is the very confusing instructions. As with most electronics that are made in China, the instructions really make no sense.

If you can get past that, however, this really is a nice bluetooth speaker, especially for the price. The sound quality is quite good. It's not on par with Bose or anything like that, but then again, the price is about 20x less than a Bose speaker. For what it is, it has very crisp, good sound.

I love that you can use it with both your iphone and your ipad. It has a pretty long battery life. It says it's 15 hours. I've only used it for about 10 and it's lasted with no problems.

Overall, a very nice bluetooth speaker. I recommend this product.

I received a sample for review."

I must say this is a great little speaker, I love it. First of all it looks like a much more expensive speaker than it is, and it works and sounds beautiful. The flat design and styling would look great on an executive desk.

I have an HTC bluetooth enabled phone and it pairs a quickly and sounds wonderful, and has a great range on the bluetooth as well. I walked around into 2 or 3 different rooms in my house with the phone and left the speaker on my coffee table, it had no problem maintaining the connection.

It has several really nice features as well. The center button performs 2 or 3 different functions one of which is a pause button for whatever you are listening to. You can have it on your desk and if someone walks in just hit the illuminated button on the top middle of the speaker and it immediately pauses whatever is playing on your device, push it again to pick up where you left off.

The speaker also acts as a handsfree phone accessory, if someone calls while you are listening to music you just hit that nifty little button on top, and it answers the phone and routes it through the speaker that has a built-in mic.

One more feature I really like is it has its own volume control, many accessory speakers do not, my son has a speaker for his ipod and it does not have its own volume control, the volume is only controlled by the source device. This speaker however allows you to turn the volume up and down on the speaker directly without taking the phone or device out of you pocket.

Basically you can put your phone or ipod in your desk drawer out of sight, and have just this slick little speaker on top of your desk and still be able to adjust the volume, pause the music, and answer the phone all from the speaker, awesome!

It comes with a stereo-mini cable so you can use it on devices that are not bluetooth enabled. It also comes with a USB cable to charge it with using a computer or USB charger.

Besides being bluetooth it is also NFC enabled, I do not own any NFC devices and am not able to comment specifically on this feature, but based on the rest of the speaker's performance I would expect it would also function as described.

Over all this speaker has great sound quality and you can't beat the price, highly recommended.

This Lumsing Prophet Bluetooth Speaker came very well packaged, nestled in a hard plastic package, inside an attractive box. The Bluetooth is an attractive black spherical shape. The LED light blinks blue when the Bluetooth is on.

Like the previous reviewer, I could not make heads or tails from the user manual. The directions are quite confusing, and unless someone has previous experience with a Bluetooth, they will have no idea where to start. The pictures at the Amazon site give a more detailed explanation. I have another Bluetooth, so this turned out to be a fairly simple set up.

I watched a film on my iPad, and listened to Rosanne Cash's new CD, 'The River and The Thread' on my iPhone using this Lumsing Bluetooth. The sound is crisp and clear, and, in fact much preferable to the older model Bluetooth that I have been using. Cash's CD was perfection using this Bluetooth, the low sounds of guitar were picked up and added a new enjoyment of the CD. I like the size of this Bluetooth, it sits comfortably on the table next to my iPad. It does not take up much room. I have used this Bluetooth for 2 hours today, and according to the information I did glean from the manual, I should have 13 more hours before recharging is needed. There is a side clip that swings out from the Bluetooth , that is perfect for my iPhone to set upon. Beside the speaker and user manual, a USB cable and audio cable are included.

Updating the User Manual with instructions that are clear and concise would give this Bluetooth 5 stars. One of the better Bluetooths that I have used. Product provided for use and review.
