I had a slightly larger Mifa speaker (A20) which had slightly better sound. This speaker, however, is sturdier and has a handle, which make it ideal for outdoor listening, such as in the garden or on a picnic. The volume is high enough for a city dweller whose neighbours are not deaf. It has a decent bassy sound; no tininess at all. The only serious thing I do not like are the noisy automatic sounds that speak and clang when the speaker is turned on and off or when Bluetooth is enabled. This noisiness is inconvenient when you do not want to disturb people in the next room.
