Zero Talk Mini Bluetooth Speaker with Amazon Alexa Built-In, Smart Devices - Small Wireless Waterproof Speaker IPX6, 5hr Playtime, Portable for Travel, Bathroom Shower & iPhone, White

Big sound for such a small speaker and highly portable too.

Simple to connect, works fine for such a small item. Sound is good. I deducted 1 star as it would be great if you did not need to push the button to talk to the device. It would be better if this was an option so you don't need to push button to talk to the device. Other than that, you can do all the same as any other voice operated alexa devices.

Great just the right size

I feel really mean giving this one star as it is a lovely little product which might be perfect for some people's needs, but it has too many cons. The instructions are dreadful and could have been drawn by the average six year old. There are no proper instructions in English (or any other language), just mainly drawings. So learning to use it is frustrating. If you need a tiny blue tooth speaker with sound that can be very loud and is a big improvement on a smartphone, and is waterproof, then this could be ideal. It is really well made and is a little gem. BUT if you want to use it with Alexa, it is VERY limited. It only works via the app on your smartphone/lap top. You have to connect it each time. It works well with BBC sounds or to find a podcast etc. There is no base so listening to music is not likely to please many people. It pairs automatically but frequently at full volume (which is VERY loud). Some commands seem to be ignored. Eg I couldn't get "Alexa stop" to work at all, so the only option appeared to be the all-purpose button underneath: but in the absence of decent instructions, who knows. After a couple of hours use, it told me that its battery was low, but I didn't use it long enough to know if that was going to be an issue. The bluetooth range seemed excellent but instructions to Alexa could take half a minute to get a response. Sadly, I had to return it.

I wanted a bluetooth speaker to keep in my bag at all times as I always seem to end up in situations where I need one and didn't bring it along! This Boompod is small enough to be light and unobtrusive so can easily follow me anywhere! I think you need to be realistic about the limitations of this little speaker. It is an improvement on the sound from a phone, tablet or small laptop, and is capable of getting room-fillingly loud when needs be. However it does start to distort a bit at its highest volume level, but I can't ever imagine needing it so loud that would make it an issue to me. I've had it a good 12-15m away from the laptop it is bluetooth connected to and it has kept a steady signal which is particularly impressive, however at that point so much as putting yourself between it and the laptop will cause the signal to cut out. It's a subjective thing, but some reviews here praise the bass and I'm really just confused as to what they're going on about. It does have *some* bass in there but it is relatively weak. And I'm ok with that - I'd not expect something so small and inexpensive to be pumping out phat beats! On test tracks I use to judge speaker output, the lowest frequencies are almost entirely absent. Its mid levels are where all the power is being delivered and the overall quality of the sound is a bit flat. BUT it's not scratchy and tinny like phone speakers and that's the main thing. Haven't run it long enough to get an idea of battery life but if it gives about 3 hours I'll be content. If it fails to manage that I'll be back to edit this. I also have no interest in using Alexa on it so can't comment as to its capabilities there.

I gave Christmas present to my niece and she is over the moon . It’s really cute small speaker huge impact.

Small jewellery, and best sounding

Very happy with my Boompod Zero. The sound is a bit tinny but as a mini speaker is quite powerful. I would recommend as very portable & connected easily via Bluetooth. The Alexa function is limited & unable to use Spotify.
