Here’s my personal user experiences
Pros
- Lightweight and portable
- Build quality is solid and sturdy
- Ideal to bring out when traveling overseas
- Easy to setup and pair with devices
- Sound quality is good and loud for its small size
- It can be easily placed on a car dashboard and it is stable while the car is on the move
- Speakerphone is a great idea for video conferencing / Skype / video chats / phone chats
- The volume of your music can be controlled on your devices and also your Mini Boombox
- You can feel the bass when you play the music on the Mini Boombox
- The battery life is pretty good (this might varies from users, settings and environmental conditions)
Cons
- The top panel for the volume and play controls of the Mini Boombox is not that sensitive. I need to press a few times before the panel lights up
- Speakerphone even though it’s a great idea, the background noise might make it difficult to communicate with the Mini Boombox
- The retail price might be a bit on the higher side (to some consumers)
- It might be a good idea to have a pouch to be given along inside the Mini Boombox package. This will allow the Mini Boombox to have some protection, a pouch to store and carry it around easily.
The Logitech Mini Boombox is available for a retail price of $109 and here’s the link for Logitech Mini Boombox.
Overall, I personally feels that the Logitech Mini Boombox is a lightweight portable powerful mobile speaker with good sound quality and bass. It’s a portable device that I will consider owning it and it can be useful for travel overseas or even during my leisure outings too!
