We have it at work and it plays all day long. Its sound is very clear and it has very good bass for its size. The volume is a bit low. The battery lasts for many hours, but after 1 and a half years of daily use, it needs to be charged every half an hour, so we constantly have it plugged in. It has survived 10 falls, it has fallen into a pot with minced meat that we washed with water and soap, and the next day it was playing normally. It is in an environment with flour and it still works. Impressive for its price
