First of all, I want to say a big thanks to Mocreo for sending me this product to test!

Let's begin
The delivery time was very quick, It came only 1 day after Mocreo contacted me, which is excellent!
So, when I actually opened the package, I was greeted by some excellent packaging. The packaging is high quality, it's sturdy and has a great feel to it whilst unboxing. Clearly a lot more work put into it than other speakers I have had in the past.

Opening the box I was greeted with the speaker first, and underneath it, the micro USB (To charge it), an audio jack connector and the quick start guide.
Taking the speaker out of the plastic wrapper it was encased in, the speaker has a very nice weight to it. It feels sturdy, durable. The top and bottom red parts have a nice soft rubber feel to them, as do the side parts (where the on off switch is, and the opposite part).
The controls on the side are easy to use, and they are labeled clearly. Below the 2 switches there are the ports with a rubber cover to protect them. There is a port for the micro USB to charge it with, an audio jack port, and a micro SD card slot.
On the top, there are controls for the speaker volume ("+" to adjust the volume upwards, or to change the song upwards, and "-" to adjust the volume downwards, or change the song backwards), which can also be used to change the song (As you probably picked up from what I said in the brackets). In the middle of the volume buttons there is a microphone, which is perfect for conference calls etc.
When you turn it on, you're welcomed by a voice saying "Hey, I'm ready, waiting for a connection". You can connect via Bluetooth, obviously, or by audio jack connection, or by inserting your Micro SD card, and the voice will let you know that you have connected whatever you connected.
The blue LED in the top left hand corner will let you know that it's turned on, and the red LED in the same place will let you know that it's charging.
The speaker is also waterproof, which is a fantastic feature and very useful for when I go out with my friends, and it starts to rain. I often keep the speaker in my bag when I'm out and about, and it sounds fantastic! The quality is very very good, and I think that it's overall an absolutely great speaker! Would I recommend it? Yes, I definitely would. I have only had it for a short while, and I have already been out, had it in my bag, handled it with wet hands, I went to go through all the tests I deemed necessary, and I can happily say it passed then with flying colors!
The big red volume button looks funny , it may be more convenient
I want to know if i use it to answer a call, whether the sound quality will be affected
I can't get any useful information from your post for it lacks of some data to prove what you said. I found another post, it's more detailed:http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/accessories/review-mocreo-mosound-bar-water-t2861401

Two weeks ago I was looking to buy a new Bluetooth speaker for my phone on Amazon for under 50 USD, and after a few minutes of browsing around I found this great deal from a company named Havit. I made my order and the speaker was shipped out the same day from their warehouse in China.
Today I received the speaker in the mail in a quite generic looking package, and inside that package there was a nice looking box with the speaker inside. Other than the speaker they included a micro USB cable for charging and audio cable so that you can hook it up to devices which do not have Bluetooth.
The speaker was really easy to connect to my phone, I just had to enable NFC on my phone and place my phone on top of the speaker itself and that’s it. If your phone is not NFC capable you have to hook it up manually, but it’s really easy. Enable Bluetooth, pair the speaker with your phone, and that’s it.
The whole front of the device is covered by a net which protects the two front speakers, and at the bottom of the device the bass is located. The device is made out of rubberized plastic, but a bad part with that is that it collects fingerprints very easily. At the back of the speaker you will find the line in, line out and micro USB -jack and the power switch.
The sound quality of this speaker is actually very good and all the tracks I have played through have been sounding very well overall, but the sound is a bit choppy at 100% volume. That’s the only bad thing I can find really about the sound, other than that the sound is very clear, and the mids and the bass is very good.
Overall this is a very nice speaker, and there is a few minor issues with it but it is nothing big. It is a great little speaker for the price. One thing which would be great is if they would bundle an AC adapter with it, but it is not really necessary.

Havit
I did also buy the same product as you.
The product is extremly cheap for its build quality and audio quality.
The bass isen't really located at the bottom as you say.
I did disasemble it (Great build quality) and find out that it's a ruber pieze moving to the sound pushed by the loud speaker's.
That made this speaker uniqe. There idea is great!
There speaker has great bass because of there idea. Without installing a subwoofer that often takes alot of watts. A can make the battery last half the time that it does without the subwoofer. The speaker is also 100% air tight.
Because of there gaskets and glue. And they also fitted the unit with a oversize battery. That resultats in around 11-12 hour of battery time.
I can only say! Great product Havit. I will buy from you again for sure!
Any idea what the battery is? I need a replacement but its not clear looking at the one I have what the specs are. A 3.7 3000 Ma? Or something else??
This is my review of the Havit HV-H913BT noise cancelling bluetooth headset - http://www.amazon.com/HV-H913BT-Cancellation-Bluetooth-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B00OUFPJN4
As I don’t own a car or so, I’ve not been using this type of headset for quite some time and therefore I was worried about that it was a product that was not useful for me. However, after sitting down a while I found some perfect uses for this product. One of the scenarios is when I work in front of my computer and need to make a few calls – holding a phone in one hand or using speaker phone while working is far from optimal. So with that said, let’s talk about the actual product.
First of all, the product came in a box that showcased the actual product through a window made out of transparent plastic. The box was kind of hard to open, and I had to rip it apart to get into it. Inside of the box you can find the actual headset, as well as a few accessories and some documents. The accessories bundled with this headset are a docking station, a microUSB cable, a plastic thing to put around your ear as well as some different kind of eartips.
The headset itself is made out of mainly black plastic, and front have a pearl’ish finish to it. There’s a few buttons as well such as a powerbutton (switch), a all-in-one button and volume keys. On the the back of the headset, the actual earpiece is located as well as charging pads.
When it comes to the sound of this product, I must say that I’m certainly pleased. Nobody I’ve made a call with have complained about the sound, nor have I had any issues with the actual sound quality on my end. The sound is clear enough for calls, but listening on music through this headset is not recommended as there’s a lack of details.
The part about this headset that really surprised me, though, is how comfortable it is and how well it stays in the ear. There’s no issues with the comfort at all, and it does not fall out of the ear. However, to get a good fit you might have to try all the different eartips to find the one that works the best for you.
The only complaint I’ve got about this product is related to the actual docking station, as it’s kind of hard to get the headset to charge in it. Some times, I’ve had to adjust the headset quite a bit before it even started to charge and this might be a problem. I think it would be much better if they just went for the ordinary microUSB charging slot, and skipped the docking station completely.
But overall, I must say that this is a product that have really impressed me – mainly due to it being so comfortable and the sound quality in calls. However, it got its drawbacks but they’re just minor and I’m really satisfied with the product.

Hands on
The headphones look lovely and premium, all black with white ear-buds and ear hooks and a grey Lumsing logo on the both sides. Around each side is a circle of chrome which looks nice. The right side Lumsing logo doubles as a sneaky button used for on / off and Bluetooth pairing. Also on the right is a volume up and down button and microphone hole if using as a hands free for phone calls etc. The left side only has a small input for the micro USB charging which has a rubber cover.
I tested this out on my Android Galaxy S6 and my HP laptop, it was happy to pair with both and save the pairing of more than one device which was useful as I sometimes use these for my laptop and sometimes for my phone depending on what im doing. The pairing was really easy, just hold the button long enough and it enters pairing mode and thats pretty much it. Putting these on, they sit in my ears really snugly, so snug that its like having my fingers in my ears so when I talk it sounds like im underwater. They do a great job of sitting in and shutting out the outside ambient sounds. This also means that the sound quality and volume they are capable of delivering is pretty good considering their size and how light weight they are. They come with ear hooks which I dont really get how to use so I've just ignored them, I haven't had any issues with these falling out of my ears, even when I use these when running they sit in there fine. There are different size ear buds depending on the size of your ears there should be something for you.
So far I've been using these for a week over Christmas and I've been really happy with them, the ease to just pick them up when I want to watch something on my laptop, I just turn them on and my laptop (windows 10) auto pairs with them no problem and the sound just switches to coming out of these. So far I havent had to charge the battery, seems to just keep going...
Positive points
+Really simple to use
+Comfortable and snug fit
+stays put even when running

About a month ago, MPow contacted me about a Bluetooth speaker they wanted me to review for them. As I wanted one for quite some time anyways, I thought why not kill two birds with one stone.
The shipping was rather fast, the device arrived just two or three days after I agreed to review the device.
Overview

Looking at the specs, the MPow AquaPro is IPX7 rated. For everyone not familiar with IP ratings, it basically means the device is water resistant and withstands immersion up to 1m for 30min. While the packaging titles the speaker “waterproof”, I personally wouldn’t call IPX7 waterproof, but rather water resistant. But this should still be more than enough for what most users are gonna do with it anyways.
Another point is the rugged shell: the case is well built and has a very solid feel, especially because of the green/yellow rubber coating surrounding the case
A, for me personally, rather useless feature the speaker has is the SOS alert, which makes a loud noise in case you’re in an emergency. But well, maybe it could come in handy for someone, someday, who knows?
The device was neatly packaged with a short, but rather useless manual, a 30cm USB cable for charging and a 60cm 3.5mm aux cable.
The speaker has 4 buttons on the top for power/connect, vol-, vol+ and play/pause. On the right side you can find the SOS button as well as the USB and aux ports and the charging indicator LED.
Features and Impressions
When I first looked at the speaker, my initial thought was that the speaker was rather small with 8x8x4cm, too small to be loud enough, nor make a clear sound when using max volume. However, I could not have been more mistaken. The speaker is more than loud enough and also has an impressively clear sound. But what impressed me the most is the incredible bass, coming from such a relatively small speaker. It even managed to move around my table once while I played a bass-heavy song.
Looking at the battery, it may not be the biggest battery available, but I got between 7 to 8 hours of actual play time out of one full charge. This brings me to my only big negative point about this speaker: the low battery alert. It really is annoying as hell. As soon as the battery reaches a certain level, the speaker starts playing a godawful sound every minute. This could have been implemented way, way better using an LED first and after a certain amount of time moving on to a sound notification. But well, it is something you usually don’t encounter that often anyways.
One more rather small criticism I have to add is looking into the manual. The best you can do is not to look into it at all, because as I said before, it is quite useless. The use of the speaker is rather self-explanatory and the times for powering the speaker on and off, as well as connecting are anything but accurate. But as the manual isn’t really needed, I don’t really care about that at all.
Conclusion
Now, to sum things up, the device really makes an impression. It is well built, it is more than powerful enough for pretty much all use cases and it is not expensive at all. I have been using it mostly for showering, and after one month worth of showers the device is still working perfectly. So if you are looking for a small, affordable but still powerful Bluetooth speaker, this is the way to go.

Hello guys!
Today I am here to review the YCCTeam Wireless Speaker, Portable LED Color Ball. I was contacted and asked if I would like to do a review, so of course I said yes, because reviews are what I love to do!
At first I was sceptical of this product, mainly because I had never heard of the company and the price of this Wireless Speaker is only £21.99 on Amazon UK, meaning it made me think that this speaker was going to be pretty bad. Eg : Bad sound quality, really quite, very cheap feeling etc. However, now that I actually have it in hand, it is almost the complete opposite!
The packaging this speaker arrived in was ok, nothing amazing. The plastic on the front was a bit dented in and just added to my feeling that this speaker wasn't going to be the best.

However, when I took it out the box I have to say I was surprised. It is fully plastic, not metal like its counterparts from brands like JBL or Bose, but this is only £21.99 remember. The build quality is actually top notch and feels very sturdy (I have already dropped it like careless me and there isn't a dent to be seen!). The setup process is pretty easy, just flip the ball upside down and there is a port where you can put in a micro USB, a TF card and the power switch to turn it on and off. When you turn it on, you are greeted with a voice that has a Chinese accent but is speaking English so you can understand it. Just turn on the bluetooth on your phone and connect to 'Color Ball'. Once connected the voice says that the bluetooth connection has been successful.
I have personally tested this speaker with a range of songs, such as Tsunami, Animals, No Copyright Sounds (Tobu), Galantis, Adele etc to test how the speakers handle all the different types of genres of music. It handled them really well and to my surprise, was nearly crystal clear in sound! There are two speakers, one on either side of the device. The speakers gets really loud which was a massive shock to me, so loud that I was literally forced to turn it down. It handles bass very well, which I didn't expect seeing as this thing is only £21.99 !
The speaker comes with a remote, with which you can turn the speaker on and off, change from bluetooth to aux, change the volume levels, skip/pause songs, change the brightness of the LED in the speaker, change how fast the light goes or stall it on a certain colour and you can change it so that the LED goes in time with the music, which is my personal favourite of all of them. The colours for the LED seem to be Red, Orange, Blue, Light blue, Yellow, Purple and Green which make for a really cool effect when it is changing. The light looks kind of glittery, but that must be due to the material that is under the plastic. Either way it is an awesome effect!
I can't but not recommend this speaker enough to anybody who is searching for a cheap, yet good speaker. Sure its not going to be as good as a £80 speaker, but its good enough for my needs and it gets loud enough and is clear enough for them aswell, which is very very good for the price.
