I don?t like that you have to plug in USB for the lights to work. Many of the plastic snaps on the plastic shields (3 of them) were brittle and snapped. The Bose on the other hand just stops the noise. Overall sound quality is excellent and sounds very similar to my AT-M50 headphones! but they were also an inch longer. I am using these in a bathroom because I didn?t have any space for a towel ring without things looking cluttered or the towel hanging too low on the counter. ) The people complaining about this speaker in these reviews who say other brands are better are just brands more notorious for ?loudness fakery? to make the sound seem more bass-heavy but is really just slick audio post-processing. I just don?t. This sandal are beautiful, soft and comfortable. The bottoms have these cute clear grips, so naturally, my kiddo jogged wherever she went.
