I originally planned on buying the Amazon Basics Bluetooth speaker. But, saw a great review of the Anker speaker vs the Amazon Basic. On every account the Anker sound better, was made out of better material, and battery lasted longer.

Take advantage of the hours upon hours of research I've done to find the "just right" wireless speaker to go with our Amazon Echo Dot. I spent so many hours on the internet looking at reviews, demos, etc. I went from store to store listening to the speakers in person at the various stores. In the end, I went with this Anker. This little speaker has such great sound for such a low price. The sound is head and shoulders above the cheaper Bose speakers that are a lot more expensive than this. The bluetooth never drops, it has been "Alexa, play [music]" and go since day-1 and I've had it for over 3 months. It sounds as good as or better than the sound bar I have above it that is 6x larger and 5x more expensive. I have not once regretted this purchase.
If you purchase this for use at home or the office, buy a power bar that has USB ports on it. It powers by USB and I found that if I use a standard USB adapter that just plugs into the wall that it gets too hot to use with peace of mind. It needs something more robust.
