“Cambridg Soundworks should win an award for this one !”
After reading a number of good reviews on the OontZ 3 , I decided to try one. The price was low enough to take the risk and so I gave it a shot. When the package arrived, the box was rather small and I thought it was perhaps the wrong item because no speaker system that received such great reviews could possibly come in such a small box ! I was even more surprised when I opened the box to find the item exactly as the image portrayed in the ad and started to laugh thinking that there couldn’t be so many people that believe this thing could possibly do what they said it would. I figured for the price it wasn’t even worth it for me to send it back so I decided to have some fun with the little thing. Plugged in my Sony MP-3 player and fired it up as the unit did come partially charged. Instructions were easy enough to follow as the diagram clearly showed what every button and indicator light would do as well as the inputs for non wireless items and usb charging. I initially kept the volume low so as not to destroy the little thing right off but quickly discovered that increasing the volume did not bring about any distortion ! The clarity, fidelity of sound was amazing ! OK, so it wasn’t as loud as the Bose but… I had it outside on my deck and my brother and I could feel the bass vibrations in the decking boards ! My wife came home while we were now “blasting” this thing and asked me to turn it down so we could speak ! She was totally blown away by what it could do and how clear it sounded. Next was to try the blue tooth side for my cell phone in the car to see how well it would perform as a hands free speaker system. Yet again it was outstanding ! This thing is so amazing sounding and SO portable, it’s easier to move around than the Bose or any other player we have. It just replaced all of them because it takes up virtually no room at all… can be placed just about anywhere, even hidden from view and fill the area with great fidelity no matter what you are playing. I tested it with a variety of recordings to see if there would be any discrepencies in the sound quality. Clannad, The Doors, Motown, Jimi Hendrix, Moody Blues and many others all performing and sounding fantastic ! I use it on my patio when friends are over and can simply pickup the speaker and MP-3 player with one hand and move it to the kitchen counter…. the dining room for background music, etc… “They” say it’s great for college dorms and I’m sure it is but it goes well beyond the dorm my friends ! My brother is ordering one to use with his laptop as an external monitor… again… so much more space saving than his old conventional monitor. It doesn’t have a powered sub woofer but he said the bass is more than sufficient from such a tiny, portable unit ! We made comparisons to other systems… called it the working mans Bose and even made jokes that it was designed with “alien technology”… who knows ? Mebbe ? The engineers at Cambridge did a magnificent job on this one and even though it is built in China, you will NOT second guess the quality of this item ! I will be ordering a few more as gifts before someone realizes what a winner this is and the price starts to skyrocket or they become back ordered for a year due to demand !! Can I say more ?? Probably ! But I will simply end with this one closing remark…. “BUY ONE AND SEE” !

I was always a fan boy of Cambridge Soundworks and I blindly took a chance at buying this speaker. I was reluctant initially but looking at the disastrous experiences I had with cheaper bluetooth speakers, I just went by my gut feeling. And I wasn’t disappointed; rather I was blown away by the overall clean sounds this little well-bodied gadget produced. It produces an overall full bodied sound that is loud enough, easy on ears and sounds delightful even for an audiophile.PROS:1-Clean and clear sounding with almost negligible distortion at the top volume. Amazing mids & highs. If you are an audiophile, you’d definitely appreciate this (Guess almost everything that comes out of Cambridge Soundworks).2-Brilliant battery life – Just after unpacking, I played it for more than a day, on & off, without even charging. Just charge and forget it; it lasts. I could even figure out battery levels on my iPhone, which I feel is awesome.3-Bluetooth pairing – It is easy breezy & never gives up. It’s simple & automatically re-pairs without any issues.3-Angular design – It can be placed horizontally and vertically anywhere. Easy to switch ON/OFF as well. The materials used are of great quality and doesn’t feel tacky at all. Looks elegant and doesn’t interfere in the aesthetics of the interiors as well. No flashy lights makes it clean-minimal design.CONS:1-The bass isn’t great but is definitely clean. Anyway, I’ve not come across any mini speaker with great bass (in my limited exposure). So personally, not asking for something big in this range.2-It’s a tad expensive in spec-to-spec comparisons (thanks to the import duties), but considering the sounds it produces, it’s forgivable in the long run.Overall, I am sorta satisfied with this little brilliant performer. I hope it keeps delighting me for a very long time.

Good clear sound, nice bass, and easy to connect with iPod. Speaker is solidly made and just the right size.
