iLive Electronics Bluetooth Speaker System with Built-in Subwoofer, 7.28 x 8.86 x 7.28 Inches, Black (iHB23B)

Love the speakers, more then I expected. For $50 bucks I did not think I was going to get much out of it but it was just for a little room to listen to music, but from when I opened the box to plugging in these speakers, fell absolutely in love with it. I thought it was just the sub that had a blue neon ring, both left and right speakers also have it and looks amazing and that sub woofer....that thing can actually move the floor a little there. Its not a party bumper but for a small room just with a couple of friends and to get thing going a little, these speakers are amazing. I'm telling you these speakers and sub is amazing and worth the money I paid for it. Connection, it takes 3 seconds to connect Bluetooth and response is so quick. I would recommend these wireless speakers 100% to anyone. 2/17/14: Update Quick update about the iLive speakers. So far everything is perfect and no issues at all, absolutely outstanding the way they look and perform for only $50 bucks. I have people commanding on them and even buying them also for their own rooms. Listen I'm seeing reviews on how the sound is terrible and the bass is so low. I don't know how much bass you want really, really more bass just drowns the sound and makes the music blurry. For these speakers the sound is crisp and the bass is just right for it...they are not party speakers for a big area but for a descent sized apartment or room damn they can kick it. So far they work and sound is awesome, connectivity is still flawless as anything. Love it and will keep updating.

Small size, sophisticated design, easy to set up, and good quality sound that can be adjusted make this perfect for any room in the house! Note that it will appear as “IHB23” on your Bluetooth list so I renamed “Game Room Sound” it to make it easier to know which device it is when I connect my iPhone to it.

This is a comparison review between the iLive IHB23B and the QFX BT-206 2.1 Channel NFC Bluetooth Speaker Systems. For Fathers day this year my wife got me a different Bluetooth speaker system to put in our kitchen because as we allocate the household chores, I usually do the dishes after dinner and I like to listen to music. She got me the QFX BT-206 2.1 Channel NFC Bluetooth Speaker System. The QFX system is a little bit pricier; you can find them right now for around 70 bucks. We LOVE that set of speakers (the QFX). It works great; we get great range with the Bluetooth (about 30 feet), the sound quality is high for a small speaker system, and it can actually get surprisingly loud. Now for the IHB23B. I got these to put in the garage as I lift weights and do yard work. They are basically the same as the QFX with these differences: 1. (I believe this is the most important difference) the IHB23B is not as loud as the QFX. If you are hoping for speakers that will really pump out some sound, these may not be for you. Don't get me wrong, in a small room these are PLENTLY LOUD; but, in a garage/front yard the sound is enough but certainly not mind blowing. 2. Price. The QFX are about 30 bucks more expensive than the IHB23B 3. Looks. Here is where I think the IHB23B really stand out, especially for the price range. These speakers look really good. They have bright blue LED lights around the circles on the speakers and they really do look very nice. 4. Features. This is probably the biggest factor in the price difference between QFX and the IHB23B aside from the volume. QFX gives you more options (radio tuner, SD card slot, USB slot to play music from other sources than just the Bluetooth). Both speaker systems come with cables to plug your ipod/device direction into the speakers rather than using the Bluetooth. 5. This last one may be a little bit nit-picky but here goes: the on/off switch. QFX has a standard "switch" on the back of the subwoofer that clicks up and down like a light switch to turn the system on and off. The IHB23B has a button on the top of the subwoofer that you press to turn the speakers on and off (much more convenient and easy to access). 6. Bluetooth connectivity and build quality. Both of these systems work great; we have no problems connecting to either one right out of the box. Here we are 2 months later and both still work great. All in all, I would say that both of these systems work great and are high-quality, money well spent; it all depends on what you want the speakers for. Are you hoping for more options than just Bluetooth? QFX. Are you looking for something that is small but still pumps out the sound? QFX. Are you less interested in how loud it gets, and more interested in getting a nice system for a lower budget? IHB23B. Looking for something for the dorm room or a bedroom? I would go with the IHB23B. Do you care a lot about how it looks? IHB23B.

I don't understand all these comments about people saying it's not loud enough. Use your brains. Don't just turn the volume up on the stereo, turn it up on the device you are using as well. Trust me, when you turn the stereo and smartphone up to high your ears will bleed. So if you want to buy it for volume ignore those comments, it is loud. Also the other complaint is no remote which makes no sense concerning any device. The DEVICE is your remote. Once connected to your TV, turn the stereo up and if you need it louder adjust it with your TV remote-it's literally just adding bigger sound. It's the exact same thing with your smartphone or computer-just turn up the stereo and then adjust the volume and track changes from that phone/computer. The device has everything that a remote would have. Think of them as literally "just" speakers added to the sound you already have with your device. The only issue I have is you can't have your phone more than about 25ft away from it or the Bluetooth connection with constantly static out. But that's manageable and all around I love it. Great quality, sound, and look (plus the blue lights are so fun!) So glad I bought it!

dont buy this you will be disappointed

El producto para su precio es bastante aceptable la iluminacion es llamativa con sus luces led pero el sonido es bajo el woofer tiene buena respuesta pero me salio defectuoso y en una semana de uso se descompuso la bocina izquierda.

Occasionally has trouble pairing, and the audio comes through about a half second delayed. Otherwise, it was super easy to set up, has good range, and the audio quality is also excellent.

It's OK device but I returned it as it didn't give out enough bass. I would say this average item. I can't recommend it though
