Sharp GX-BT9X Large Portable Bluetooth BoomBox Speaker

This speaker box has a lot of features that are up-to-date options that many others do not. In fact, I could not find any other speaker box that does everything this one does. Specifically- 1) Sound quality- rich and full with plenty of high end, and certainly plenty of low end (more than some people are looking for), with mid-range perhaps a bit understated. Unless you are entertaining a big party outdoors or using for some other big event, you'll have more than you need sound-wise. Also, the unit has an equalizer which can be set to several generic settings, such as flat, rock, vocal, salsa, reggae, & hip-hop. up and down tuner presets, X-bass (which is overkill really) 2) Weight and size- it's big and heavy, especially loaded with 10 (yes, TEN) D-cell batteries. So you won't be carrying this around much, although it does have sturdy handles on both ends. Most people will plant this somewhere in the house, or maybe on the deck sometimes, and plug in the AC for regular use. 3) Inputs- This is where it gets interesting. You have good Bluetooth connectivity, and you can easily pair it with your phone or an MP3 player (that has bluetooth capabilities). It has an "audio in" port, which you can use to connect any player that does not have bluetooth capabilities. Most importantly for me, it also has a USB port, which is invaluable. The port can be used to play from a flash drive directly, with both repeat and random options available, and can access a drive with over 65,000 song on it. I have a 125 gb drive I plug in, and that's most of my music catalog. It displays what is being played against a blue background. The unit also comes with a tuner, which you can program how you like. Personally I like to play Pandora from my phone. Also has microphone and guitar inputs on the back. 4) Power supply- AC cord provided of course, but the USB port can also be used to charge your phone or your MP3 player, even when you're using D-cell batteries! The batteries last a long time, many hours of constant use, with some variance depending on battery quality, volume, use of blue flashing woofer strobes (turn 'em off), and whatever else you may have plugged in to charge up. I'm going to be on an island for a week, and I plan to have music all the time, either with the box, which also has a headphone jack, or with my charged up MP3 player, or my phone, in any combination that suits my surroundings. I'll never have to look for an AC socket! For charging other gadgets using battery power, be aware of any power saving mode that may be on. Unplug AC when using batteries. Unit has no rechargeable battery, and you cannot use rechargeable batteries. 5) Remote control- Comes with a very well designed, easy to use remote, which allows you to control play/pause/stop for both Bluetooth and USB, audio input, pairing button, display options, USB folder options, program memory, navigation circle, dimmer for lighting, Audio settings, Echo effect, volume and mute buttons. There is no CD or tape player included in this unit (so what?). I hope this is helpful for people who are looking for specific features.

The speaker is awesome and nice upgrade from the previous version. Love the many options to play my favorite music! The speaker provides a quality sound at all levels and nice bass to enhance the experience. I recommend this item for all music lovers

Great buy! Lots of volume! Lots of base! Tuner works just fine in the basement. Mics sound great! It’s pretty big though

It's great

Not much of a subwoofer sound. Very disappointed ☹️ Sent it back. Was cutting out listening to spotify too after a few days of use. Maybe mine was a complete lemon. Jvc kaboom is wwwaaaayyyy better. Cant believe a review said this sharp is better than a kaboom. Wow
