For more details about the battery life, I haven’t had the chance to use it at maximum volume and test it! and wouldn’t want to either. they have said it can hold up to 30 hours. I have purchased a full battery charged as when I connected it at first it said "battery fully charged" and haven’t charged it until 5 days later when it announced "battery running low" with the softest voice ever !! when there are several phones that were connected to the speaker, as soon as one turns off the Bluetooth it reconnects itself with the next device without asking! this is weird and good, because usually other devices when (on iPhones) you turn off the Bluetooth and on again, you have to go through the settings/Bluetooth/and reconnect while with this speaker it does it automatically. these are some pictures and a video (wait until the end of the video and be surprised with the bass)
This whole fascination with bluetooth speakers began when I received a Bose Soundlink Revolve Plus from my company as a 20 year service award. The Bose was incredible, and could be paired with another Bose (only) speaker in 'Party Mode' to play through both speakers from a single source which I thought was cool as hell. The only problem was there was no way I was forking out 300 bucks for another Bose. So I began looking for a speaker with comparable sound but not a comparable price that would pair to another speaker for true wireless stereo. These were often recommended by Amazon, so I began reading the reviews and watching lots of YouTube videos reviewing these speakers, as well as visiting the Aomais (pronounced Oh-my) web site. The reviews were very positive so I thought how could I go wrong for $120.00 for a pair. Then, the day after Christmas the price dropped so I got a pair for $105.00. I received them and they were pretty straight forward to pair together. You have to hold in the plus and minus buttons on the front of them until you hear a three tone alert on each unit. Then they will find each other. This is after you have paired one of them to your tablet, phone, etc. I recommend turning them all the way up on the unit and control your volume from your phone/tablet. If you are using Android, get a could equalizer app with loudness boost so you can tweak the speaker to your individual taste and max out the output of the speaker. I haven't found anything they can't handle yet. And they are built for torture, it would appear. I sold my Bose on eBay for almost retail and used the money to fund these two speakers and an Amazon Fire Tablet with a 128GB memory card and had lots of money left over. Not one single regret. If you are looking for a premium speaker at a very non-premium price, these are the speakers for you.
UPDATE JANUARY 28th, 2018 The above text was published about a month ago or so. I've had these speakers long enough to comment on a few more concerns I've seen pop up in other folk's reviews. The number one concern was charging and battery life. Here is what I have found out after some trial and error. First, to know how much battery life you have, you must install an app that is available in all app stores called 'BatOn'. The Aomais Go does not seem to natively report its battery life to the host device like some other speakers do. But the BatOn app works in the background on your device and will 'ping' the Aomais Go every time you turn it on and report the current battery state. You can also open the app and touch the banner that shows 'Aomais Go' and it will ping it that instant and report back the battery life. The Aomais Go reports its battery life in increments of 10% from 100% on down. I have not paid attention to when the red light finally comes on, on the unit, but I would guess it comes on at 20%, or maybe even 10% to remind you it is time to charge them. It does not, however, come on at 30% which I can report as fact. Yes, the charger blocks get quite warm during charging, but I can hold my hand on both of mine and not get burned or have to pull my hand away. And here is another important fact. The red light does NOT stay on the entire time they are charging. Both my units had the red light shut off at 70% but continued to charge to 100% afterward. You know your units are at 100% from the app, but the charging blocks will no longer be warm either. And here is the last thing I can tell you. Amazon has 30-Hour Playtime is their description of this product. That is just a flat out false statement. I don't know who is responsible for writing that, but it clearly states 8 hours of playback time in the user's manual for these speakers, which I believe to be much more on par with their size. I have the volume maxed out on each unit so that I have full control of the volume on my Amazon Fire. I get 10-12 hours of casual listening at 30-40% volume on my pair before having to recharge. It also says 4 hours to charge in the user's manual. That is not true either. You can get from 30 to 70% in about four hours, but I found it took ten hours to hit 100% and see the charger blocks cool down. But remember, you need that app to know what you have for sure. You can pretty much just ignore the red charging light because the units do continue to charge even after it goes off. But I'm going to tell you what. Aside from someone having fudged on the charging and playback time numbers, these things are built like a tank, and the sound they put out is incredible. Remember, I sold a Bose Soundlink Revolve Plus in order to be able to afford two speakers that pair together that would deliver True Wireless Stereo for a fraction of the Bose cost. I have yet to be disappointed in my decision. These speakers deliver comparable battery life and charge time to the Bose, and they put out comparable sound. Put them in the corner of a room about 4-6 inches from a wall so that the bass can reflect of the wall and crank up Hair Nation. You will not be disappointed.
I'm an audiophile from the 70's and have seen the digital age since it was in diapers. The laser/compact/ thumb drive were NOT the betterment of the audio experience, just more convenient. To have a compact speaker raise the hairs on my neck at my age is akin to the " O" word. The first song I put through this unit was "Wish you were here" pink Floyd from actual vinyl album on aux connection, "wow" is the low end of the adjective depth chart to describe this technical marvel. The list of quality equipment I have to reproduce music has changed through the decades, my hearing and appreciation for the "TRUE" wave form has not! Rap,techno,and synthetic music I cannot comment as to this unit reproduction clarity ( don't care) however, I've listened to everything from Clint Black to Mozart, impressed is a condition I rarely have this late in life...... Buy it and enjoy
Follow up: I've owned them (added the second shortly after the first) now for a year, finding that when paired they are true stereo and not split mono was another unexpected bonus for these marvels. When camping I set these up with my HD projector and guests soon appear, good thing the RV has a microwave for popcorn....

I purchased the Aomais Go recently because I wanted a BT speaker that was smallish, but that had good sound, and enough sound too. I wanted a speaker that I could pair with the tablet that I watch movies on. I wanted to be able to surprise my wife when we go camping by being able to watch a movie in the tent at night, with some great sound that would be like our own little personal movie theatre tent. The tablet speakers do not immerse you in sound at all, and don't even come close. So, after a bunch of research on BT speakers, I arrived at the Aomais Go. The price was closer to what I would want to fork out for a speaker, not hundreds of dollars. The reviews were very favorable. The battery time (7-10 hours, depending on volume level - is what I have read. I have not even had to charge my Go yet, other than initially when I first got it) sounded very decent to me. Plus, being sturdy, waterproof, having a USB charging jack to charge a cellphone or a flashlight or another device was a real bonus. Not to mention I really think the little stereo looks sweet! It is as sharp as can be. It's a very attractive device, and even my wife said she wants one of her own! I think she also thought it was really cool looking. While it looks great, it does have some other features I have not yet used, like a Microphone jack. I have not used the full sized USB charging jack to charge another device either. I have not tested it's waterproof ability either, and probably won't, but I am happy to know that it is supposed to be fairly impervious, which also lends itself well to camping and kayaking trips, which I will take it on. As far as sound, I think it sounds very good. It's got all around good sound, and surprising sound really. It's not very big, but it sounds much bigger. I have a Craftsman 19.2 volt battery operated BT Job Site Stereo, which is very nice, but it does not sound nearly as good as the Aomais. It sounds good, and fine, but it does not have the full, deep, big sound that the Aomais has. I'm not saying it's got huge bass that will rumble the whlole house, but it does have a noticeably deeper bass, along with clear highs, that kind of surprised me. Also, it has not distorted on me while listening to any type of music I have played on it yet, near full volume. I make it a practice to never turn anything up to 100% full volume, but usually go about max of 95%. Overall, would I buy it again, definitely! So far so good, I really like it a lot, and I would recommend it to my family and friends. I have been using it every day now for about a week or so, and have had no problems with it and it pairs very quickly and easily. I hope it continues to work a long time because I really enjoy it, and would like another one as well, to try the pairing feature, and see how two combined would sound. Enjoy one if you get one, I am fairly confident you will like it a lot!
I feel like Amazon has a lot of fake reviews on electronics especially, but just to be clear I am real and I paid for the product myself.
I was pretty skeptical buying this speaker, because I had never heard of the manufacturer (and I have bought bad electronics on Amazon before), but I can now say that I am pleasantly surprised at the quality. I have seen a few video reviews of this product and they really focus on the fact that you can pair 2 of these simultaneously via bluetooth, but I really can't imagine that many people would actually need 2 of these at once. Just one of these speakers is LOUD on its own (your neighbors will hate you). This is coming from someone who always uses headphones at max volume and goes to extremely loud concerts. I imagine 2 would only be necessary for a large house party.
This speaker definitely shines at the low end and is somewhat biased for bass heavy music, but the top end notes are still clearer than earbuds, smaller speakers, phone speakers, etc. That being said, I haven't listened to a single genre of music on this speaker that didn't sound great. So don't write this speaker off just because you don't listen to mainly bass driven music. I honestly can't imagine anyone not being pleased with this speaker. Also, the battery capacity is just ridiculous. I can't even remember the last time I charged it. So I'd say the advertised 30 hours playtime is probably accurate.
Pros: high volume, deep thumping bass, clear top end, long battery life, sturdy/waterproof design, easy to pair bluetooth, portability, reasonable price
Cons: none currently (but I will update if that changes)
ps Parallax by Direct is a pretty good song to showcase the sound of the speaker in my opinion
filled out some form that was emailed. then the third one buttons stopped working also.( have to use a pen and deep press button which sometimes works) then one of them stopped charging. added 2nd return form to email back to them for return. still no email or call back for how to get replacement. called customer service which you have to call several times in a row for someone to answer. was given another email address to send forms and was told to if they didn't get back to me in a day to call back. that was thursday. no email back yet. called this morning with no answer(called several times) all i have is paperweights now.
stay away from this product. its defective and also aomais has horrible customer service.
Update: they sent 2 new ones and says they are an updated model that fixes the buttons problem. New ones appear to be of good quality and is fully functional. Will update if defective.
Update: Also left them outside all Fall and Winter... Liked having them by the fire... They're a little dirty... But.. Still work great.. Now charging for camp trip..
I use these outside and around pool in summer (two paired is freaking great!). I always forget to bring them in and it has survived big rain storms and left floating in pool overnight.. I'm usually disappointed by the cheap China junk with crazy names, but this was a nice surprise!! The only bad I can think of is the wobbly feet.
WOW !!! The sound & clarity of this speaker is awesome and it can be very loud too if needed. Looks and feels very rugged and can't wait to use it more and test out the battery to see how well it lasts. Being I spend a lot of time on the water and being its water proof that was a no brainer. I have hearing loss and the loudness of this speaker was a huge plus for me.
