Hercules4769217 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker (Black)

The sound is fairly good, the bass is decent, however it is a huge unit and it requires an ac adaptor in order to work. How am I suppose to use this? It's the size of two normal sized speaker in one. It won't fit anywhere for practice use.

Very nice speaker,good build quality. Nice sound

Well this little Gem arrived at my doorstep .. and My oh My am I smiling... I spent the evening surrounded by amazing music !! but I shouldn't say LITTLE..in relationship to the Hercules WAE-WBT06... this speaker is no little puppy... I has some size and weight to it.. ( 10bls)... and looks like the substantial speaker that it is.........Well I fired this guy up and nearly blew out the windows(Beware turn the volume down BEFORE turning on))).. the SOUND WAS AMAZING.. very much like a concert hall sound... more about that later..Oh now lets talk about it positives :1. it has it own mini remote that tucks safely right into a dimple in the middle of the speaker ..NO LOST REMOTE2. It has swivel to the base so you can point that sound where ever you please3. If you store your tunes on a computer it come with a USB Dongle and Connection is a snap4. Bluetooth from your mobile devices.. work smoothly One button pairing and your listening to Pandora or Itunes5.Provides a free app that can remotely control the speaker volume and chg the speaker tone.l It has a mediocre equalizer as well . The apps provides access to thousands of Radio stations world wide.. so you have the pleasure of hearing your local stations as well as some amazing ones in other countries and premier sites in other Cities..6. THE SOUNDS:... The sounds that come out of this speaker are shocking and amazing.. from very soft background sounds (I turned on a movie on my Droid Raze and WOW it was like a surround sound experience ) to the strong bass sounds from classical pieces as well as the soft and melodious sounds from Josh Groban and Bocelli.... I found some Broadway show tunes from Les Mise and Evita ... the sound was great it was hard to believe it was coming out of just one speaker. when a song had some deep base you actually FEEL the base WOW.....7. WarrantyThe Negatives( not many)1. the size .. for a bluetooth speaker this is Big... it needs a fair amount of space to sit up mid range from the floor to get the best sound2. huge power cord. . similar to the big ones for lap tops as this guy take some power to get all that sound out there.. so it will be hard to hide this plug and big adapter that it needs3. Not a portable item.. this speaker is meant to be placed somewhere.. not that it can't be easily moved but it isn't designed ( no handles ) to pick up and relocate easily4.no battery.. it needs to have ready access to power. So that aspect alone moves it away from being take along item.. again this is meant to be placed some where in your homeThis is a substantial investment but if you want your music to pick you up and literally dance you around the room this is the item for you to consider.It makes even everyday tunes sound outstanding.. Darn even the dumb local radios stations sound pretty darn good...I am PLEASED to have this speaker .. and plan on many enjoyable evening listening to wonderful MUSIC . and can whole heartedly recommend this product.

I ordered the Hercules Wireless Speaker for use primarily with my computer. I have old speakers with little volume and wanted to play music with a speaker which would fill the room. The Hercules speaker has some limits to volume, but... is more than able to fill our kitchen dinning room area.(30x15) The sound is great and the base quality very good especially for a single speakers unit. Since it is a one unit speaker the stereo effect is not as high as some other speakers but it does have a "sound body" that feels powerful.I don't have a cell phone with all of the internet possibilities so I had my nephew and son try the phone connection to this speaker. From what they said and from what I was hearing, it sounds great and is very easy to connect. Ease of use is always important. The tiny round remote is great and very easy to use.If it has a fault it is the fact that the speaker must be plugged in somewhere. I'm certain that the volume and power would not be easily possible if it was battery operated. I took it outside about 30 feet from my desk top and it worked great.It was a nice addition to the deck.The key is that I did not have to have the speaker connected to the computer. Overall, after listening to the music on this speaker for a few days, I would not even consider going back to my old set of stereo speakers. They now sound tinny and weak. The quality of the Hercules speakers "shouts out to you". Those with more phone, etc. options will likely have more to say about this speaker.

When I received this speaker, I was expecting sound as loud and big as the box it came in! Unfortunately, I was let down. I was excited to get the speakers home and when I did, I carefully unwrapped the monstrosity, set it up and used Bluetooth to connect my iPhone 5 to it.I proceeded to give it the old bass test and put some of my favorite rap songs - ugh; I was hoping for so much more.I'm not an audiophile, but to me the sound seems muffled. The bass isn't crisp and clear, but rather cheap sounding and uneven. Raising it to a loud level creates static and just makes the music sound unappealing. I have another Bluetooth wireless speaker which is the Creative D200 and I gotta say, to me you get the same sound from both and at 1/3 of the price I would recommend the Creative over this one.The app that's made for the iPhone is practically useless. It drops connection and it's a little confusing.I find the Bluetooth connection to be weaker than my Creative speaker; for example, with the Hercules I noticed the connection dropping here and there from only 15 feet and one wall in between, whereas my Creative speaker has never lost a connection and I've walked around my entire apartment and even onto the patio.Certainly, the Hercules has a higher volume limit, but it doesn't really matter because at that level the music becomes distorted.For the price of the Hercules I'd suggest you look at Bose, Beats or Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air (although twice the price). You can get a good speaker, along the same quality if not better for much less than the price of this one. Also, don't forget it takes up a lot of space.
