Reading all the ratings and reviews, I was a bit skeptical about the performance and battery life until I tried out the Riva X Turbo myself. Upon opening and installing the associated app, that app didn't respond right away.....what a great way to start, right? Well, I figured I would continue and persevere (boy, was I glad that I did). Setting: Now I know all the audiophiles would are writhing in pain and anguish, but I connected my phone to the RIva unit via Bluetooth (as this unit is going to be used on-the-go camping and in a workshop). I placed the unit on a quasi'-hollow coffee table and set the volume levels to half on the unit and on my phone (turbo and surround sound on). The room that it was testing in measures about 10x15. Sound: After playing for 2-3 hours, the highs and mids come through crisp and clear. Bass needs to be adjusted a little with an equalizer, but without tweaking the unit shakes the entire table. The turbo function does not distort the sound. The surround sound function was negligible in that room setting, but that may be due to unit placement (not in a corner or near walls. Overall, I was thoroughly surprised with the performance and most of the reviews were on point. I haven't had the opportunity to completely check how long the battery lasts but after 6 hours of 3/4 volume and turbo on, I was at 70-75% battery left. If you are looking for a decently heavy but portable unit (about the weight and size of a brick), then no further because the Riva Turbo X should do the trick. Extra: Splash proofness was not tested but the I/O port protector is located on the bottom. If I test this functionality, I will update this post. Happy Listening!Read full review

This is a high quality speaker. Very well made and great looking. The sound is slightly better than my Bose Mini, but not much. I must admit that I have not used it enough yet to qualify a break-in period. If the sound does not vastly improve it is somewhat overpriced.

Read a lot of reviews by customers on many similar products. At the end of the day if you want Loud Sound, Awesome Sound Quality and Excellent Built Material this unit is for you. It doesn't come cheap but if you look around there are good deals. FYI... you get want you pay for. And the android remote control is a great feature. Make sure to get the carrying bag, it provides easy transportation with room for all the different cords options. Best Bluetooth option out there.

I love this speaker. I used to own the Big Jam Box. This speaker has UNBELIEVABLE bass - when combined with proper speaker placement in a corner or against a wall, you just wont believe your ears and the walls shaking...really. And the highs are crystalline. It's truly a party in a box, and worth every single penny. The Riva Turbo X is AMAZING. The bass from that speaker is really unbelievable. My house was truly shaking. The highs are crystal gorgeous. You wont believe it. Put it in a corner...and your house will shake too. I am an electrical engineer...sound systems...computers...I love the RIVA. Screw these stupid sound tests, buy it - you wont be disappointed...the enclosure is really solidly built too...not like my easily dented Big Jam Box (with no highs and weak bass). The data port is for charging your cell phone. Be certain the speaker is connecting properly to bluetooth on Windows computers (RIGHT click the speaker icon by the clock) Be certain it's NOT connecting to the hands-free telephone mode, or there will be a tremendous loss of fidelity. Just choose Turbo X STEREO mode.Read full review

My only complaint is that the Riva turbo isn't as loud as I had hoped. Don't get me wrong, it's got a lot of volume but I guess I was expecting something a little more.
