As others have said, this thing rocks. I bought 2, and I use their stereo function all the time. 2 years later they are still perfect.
However the big issue for me was portability. There was no way I was just quickly grabbing both of these chonkers with one hand while the other was full. And there wasn't a good way to hang them from anything eithor. However one day I realized that a couple Nite Ize gear ties would be exactly what I needed. Just buy the long ones, wrap them around each side, and tie them into a handle in the middle. Adds a little scuff protection as well. Gotta love cheap product making expensive ones so much better.

Handle Solution for this otherwise awesome speaker
As others have said, this thing rocks. I bought 2, and I use their stereo function all the time. 2 years later they are still perfect. However the big issue for me was portability. There was no way I was just quickly grabbing both of these chonkers with one hand while the other was full. And there wasn't a good way to hang them from anything eithor. However one day I realized that a couple Nite Ize gear ties would be exactly what I needed. Just buy the long ones, wrap them around each side, and tie them into a handle in the middle. Adds a little scuff protection as well. Gotta love cheap product making expensive ones so much better.

VFM-
It is Value for money to me as my wife gifted this speakers in deal of day for just 14k which was amazing.
Portability and weight-
The weight of the product is pretty much good which near to 2.95kgs and slight difficult to carry everywhere unless you take it in Car. So it is not pocket friendly speakers to carry. But we can get use to it.
About the product-
The audio clarity is crystal clear and sounds good in 50% volume even. When you play outside in 100%. This makes the party speakers a complete one. Great sound. Bass is good and punchy. But in very high volume, bass flattens sometime I feel, but best part of these speakers are that we get multiple motion detection playback effects, Dj effects, light effects (USP) of this speaker.
Timely delivery by Amazon. Great service during lockdown. :)
I have compared this product with JBL Charge 4 and felt this is 10% richer in sound quality of that but it will be strong competitor by JBL latest Charge 5 or Xtreme 3 products which are yet to launch in India.
But price difference will make a win over them.
