CONCLUSION

   I've been using the pocket Bluetooth speaker for almost 10 days now and although it took me around 7 hours to completely charge it the first time now that has dropped at around 6 hours and 20 minutes so Sandberg is quite close to the 6 hours recharge time stated in the specs. However not even once have i been able to touch 8 continuous hours of playback as stated in the specifications. I did manage to surpass 6 hours and 40 minutes at full volume but that's all. Perhaps Sandberg is using the maximum playback time at medium volume level in their specifications sheet, which would make sense. Regardless however almost 7 hours of continuous playback is nothing to laugh about and i doubt most people will be using it for such long periods of time. My only complaint about the pocket Bluetooth speaker is the volume level which although quite acceptable and on par with other similarly sized speakers I’d really like more (you never know when you might need it).

   Most if not all products manufactured by Sandberg are unfortunately not available in the USA however the pocket Bluetooth speaker currently retails at around 60Euros inside the EU a price tag which puts it right between similar products. Still although personally i like the way it sounds while the size/design make it extremely easy to carry around there are plenty of people out there who will most likely go for something better looking and at the same time cheaper (plenty of OEM units in the market) and so i really feel that Sandberg should drop the price a bit to hit the competition. Overall the pocket Bluetooth speaker is a good choice for people who want a portable Bluetooth speaker to pair with their smartphones, especially if they want to carry it around in their bags or even their pockets, however don't expect miracles in terms of audio volume since you may be disappointed.
