BolaButty Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Up to 24 Hour Playtime, Gifts for Men

I wanted to replace my previous Bluetooth speaker. I had it for years and decided to switch because it was too heft and large for the backpack I use for conventions. I saw this one for sale, with a $9 off coupon. I figured I'd try it, and if it wasn't as expected I could always return it. When it arrived, I was very surprised. It's slimmer than my previous speaker and much lighter. The sound quality isn't compromised by its size. It actually has good, clear sound and the Bluetooth range is more than adequate. Controls are at the top for ease, and the charging/aux ports on the back have a cover for safety against water and other things. The sides have different light options that you can cycle through or turn off if you don't need it. The speaker was ready to use out of the box. Charging is fast, at least for me. And connecting it to my phone was a breeze. Overall, I am happy with this product and glad that I decided to take a chance on it. For $9 off, at the time of purchase, it was definitely a bang for my buck.

I love this speaker! The shape is stable on flat surfaces. The charge is long lasting. You can turn the lights off so the charge lasts longer. I use it to watch my shows or listen to music on my phone while I'm cooking, and need can't hear my phone speaker over the cooking noise. The sound is excellent and it's easy to carry around room to room as needed. Connected to my phone and my laptop easily, no problems! This was a great buy!

I LOVE this speaker! Is small (See photo. I have small hands) but very loud, and good quality sound!! Good bass.. beautiful pink shade... and price was great!! I'd definitely. Buy again!!

Back in June 2025 I bought this speaker and it's adequate. Sometimes the bass and the high notes are a bit too much for this budget speaker but for the price of these, it's not horrible. The sound isn't as rich and clear as say my old-school Yamaha stereo with a great sub-woofer which I bought in 2012 and I didn't get the Bluetooth option for it (regret - but who knows if it even would work with a newer phone) but it's also a power hog and with the costs of electricity that continue to rise, I thought having an external speaker for my phone would be beneficial. Being on a tight budget also creates a challenge. Would I prefer a single speaker that offers a much more environmental sound from one of the well-known brands? Of course but sometimes you take a chance on the budget versions and here we are over a year later and I decided with the price deal that was offered I would go ahead and get another one (09/2026) as I had recalled that this company stated you could pair two of their speakers together. Much to my chagrin the two speakers would not pair together. They've upgraded/changed the firmware since my original speaker purchase so they aren't compatible - so note that if you buy them separately with a considerable time frame apart. Having no easy way to return it (no working car) and I really didn't want to have Amazon spend money to arrange for a pick-up. I know they make billions and it's a drop in the bucket but there's a principle at play. I don't like to return things when possible. So despite Amazon's AI not finding a fix and having issues getting to the support page for the speaker company (there is, however, an address on the tiny user manual - you need a magnifying glass to read it, or if you're over 50, your reading glasses will work) I popped on to my favorite browser's AI to see what it could find for me. Samsung and Google Pixel (according to that AI) both have multiple pairing abilities within their systems. It states "most Android devices support 2-7 devices simultaneously". There was hope to be had in that! Whoot! So I clicked on the Samsung link the AI provided and from there I was able to connect both speakers to my phone. The instructions on Samsung's site weren't totally clear but through a process of elimination, I figured it out. Just make sure to pair both separately to the phone (keeping one off while you pair each individual speaker just like you would any device) and connect to both. If you only need one speaker connection you'll have to use which ever one you paired first as your guide to which speaker to connect. Now, I just got this resolution just before I started to write this long review so I am sure I will have to go to a couple of extra steps in order to connect both within the phone but that's alright. I didn't waste any money or brain power to figure out how to appropriately return it without making Amazon come pick it up and hassling them on their end; and I am getting what I desire, two speakers for a more environmental sound that you get from a stereo. It isn't all that bad at all. I am listening to a song on both as I type this and I am really liking it and happy I found a solution. The newer speaker, BTW, does not have as much an issue with the bass/highs as the older one. I probably played it too loud at one point and damaged the cone in the speaker unit. It doesn't have a tweeter so it's from something that was damaged over time. It's not horrible but is a bit annoying when listening to certain music. So I drop a star for the experience with the bass and the high frequency tones (some crackle on the older one) with the first speaker I purchased and not having backwards compatible firmware to connect two that are essentially the same but not manufactured at the same time. I could add another 1/2 star just because for the cost of these (two for less than one of the top brands) I am getting nearly the same experience and if I only need one then there it is. One thing to note, I don't know how long the batteries last on their charge. I only use it in the house. I usually keep the speaker plugged in to the charging port unless I need to carry to another room while cleaning or doing laundry and I am engaged in a podcast. The other thing is, our utility company has instituted an increased charge at certain times of the day (which is unconscionable IMO) so I am reduced to using my phone and the speaker(s) to listen to podcasts or watch videos instead of on my two-monitor computer set up. That's a whole other topic not for here but if you're in the same or similar boat, this is a cost savings for electricity as well. TLDR; If you cannot pair two speakers together and you have a Samsung or Google Pixel, there is a work around as Android can connect 2-7 devices on these phones - definitely works on Samsung One UI 2 or above and Android 10 Q and above. Decent sound for a budget speaker but don't expect fully technical sound, these are budget but sufficient for most situations. Great for use when your electric bill is bonking out your budget.

I wanted a Bluetooth speaker that was easy to move around but still had enough sound for more than just sitting on a desk. This 20W portable speaker hits a nice middle ground between portability and volume. The sound is clear and has enough punch for listening around the house, outside in the backyard, or taking along on a trip. I'm not expecting a speaker this size to replace a full stereo system, but for casual listening it puts out more than enough sound. The IPX5 water resistance is especially useful for outdoor use. I don't have to worry as much about an occasional splash around the pool or beach, although I still wouldn't treat it like something designed to be submerged. Battery life is another strong point. With up to 24 hours of advertised playtime, I can use it throughout the day without constantly thinking about the charger. Actual battery life will obviously depend on volume and how it's being used. I also like having TWS pairing, so there's an option to pair two compatible speakers when I want a wider or louder setup. For the size, this gives me the combination I was looking for: good sound, decent battery life, and enough durability to take outside. Throw it in the travel bag, take it to the beach, or set it out in the backyard. It's a lot easier than dragging around a giant speaker every time I want some music.

Buy it! More value than its price. Loud clear sound. Connected to my old pc desktop and it sounded loud, clear . Distinctly h1eard the off-tune voices of singers which my old boom box didn't. Clearly heard the string picking of classical guitars. What really got me was not the audo volume, but the quality/clarity of music it gave. It's like my dad's oldie Marantz/JBL combi vinyl records.

I own 2 and they are great! Sound quality is great and they last longer than 6 hours before they need to be recharged! I’ve used them on the beach, by the pool and in my hotel rooms! Can’t get a better deal! AND a small fraction of the cost compared to name brands and honestly I think they work better! I’ve had mine for over 2 years and still no complaints! You might see a little sand on them because yes they’ve had multiple trips to the beach!

Easy to connect to my phone and laptop. The sound is very clear and loud. The battery lasts long as I didn’t need to recharge for about 6 hours after receiving. The size is just right as it’s not too big and can be carried around easily. Also love the colour.

استلمتها اليوم ومن وقت ما وصلت وانا واضعها عالشاحن لأنني كنت اعتقد ان البطاريه فارغه ولغايه دلوقتي مر 5 ساعات وكل ما ابدأ في تشغيل موسيقي تطفي علي طول اعتقد ان اللي كاتبين تعليقات تابعين للبائع

Buen sonido y buena duración de la batería. Sería deseable que se pudiera elegir si las luces se encienden o no....

Ease of connection and long battery life. Sound is loud and clear.
