77% appreciated the sound quality, but 23% were disappointed
I took the speaker to the garage or outback to do yard work and my neighbor complimented the sound quality coming from what he thought would be a much larger speaker.
The sound quality of this speaker is exceptional. Do we really need to care about audio quality when most of us are listening to crappy compressed audio off our iPhones? If we truly cared about audio quality, we would be on CDs or lossless or uncompressed audio. This device and most of our consumption is now about convenience over quality.
The sound quality is excellent for music, TV, movies and video games.
The HK speaker is great but the battery issue should have been resolved. I haven't done anything with the battery or sound for the last 7 years, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

70% appreciated the compatibility with voice assistants, yet 30% found it inconsistent
For personal use, the speaker requires an app to switch between input sources, which could be a drawback.
Connecting the speaker is cumbersome and the synchronization between the two speakers is inconsistent at best.
73% praised the compact and portable design, although 27% found it bulky
The speaker is portable and punches above its weight, although it cannot compete with a subwoofer.
The Hyperboom speaker is still portable despite its larger size compared to smaller Roam type speakers from Sonos, etc.
Marshall Middleton is a good portable option, but it comes with a high price tag of $299.
A smaller Bose or JBL device with 80% of the volume and 20% of the heft would be more convenient for many people as I find the size and weight of this speaker to be less suitable.
66% found it easy to connect, however 34% encountered issues
I can turn off the app from my phone.
The speaker has a clear sound with a long range and can be used outdoors.
I frequently experience disconnection with the speaker and am prompted to download the app.
