I bought the speaker purely for the retro aesthetic, but I'm very pleased with the sound quality as well. It gets LOUD, and is much more clear than my last bluetooth speaker. The sound quality and amount of bass are perfect for my needs. I keep it in the kitchen next to my retro appliances and jam out while I cook. It holds a charge for several hours and I have had zero issues in the week+ that I've been using it. I would definitely buy it again, and I can't wait to show it off when I host Thanksgiving! I may even get the wood grain version for my dad. Super happy with this purchase! https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GS7CYXN/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
