Could be straight out of Compton! Hasn't arrived yet (you need to be super patient when ordering stuff from Gearbest!) but the user reviews are, ahem, interesting to say the least! I thought it was worth a punt at the price. Hope it's not a bitter PILL to swallow...

Precisely. I genuinely do wonder sometimes what expextations some people have compared to what they are paying. Scary. 6/7 quid delivered from China and plays from an SD card. Serously....

Cor blimey, what do you expect for £6? A Beats Pill?
Mine got delivered today and I'm well happy. Especially like the funny Chinese woman's voice.

Mine arrived today. Not particularly good quality. I wouldn't suggest them over Kitsound Invaders even with their design fault. Very tiny, but quite loud. Will be good enough for my needs. Bluetooth goes quite far. For £6, not bad, for anything more poor.

which xiaomi product is this for £13?

Received mine today - took a while but expected. For the price I really don't have any complaints. Sounds a bit tiny at low bass I suppose. The Asian woman speaking when you connect and disconnect is a but strange (and loud when you're not expecting it) but again, I can live with that for the cost. We only wanted it for BBQ's and being out in the Garden in the summer so will certainly work for that.

They've posted it out to me. Apparently. For £6 I'll take the risk - If they don't send it, I'll claim with PayPal.

The kitsound invaders, whilst relatively good sound, and look decent, they break easily. So avoid them - The wiring is placed in ridiculous places so they easily break. Massive design floor. I bought one, which was faulty and Vodafone sent me a replacement and then I purchased another, which is now faulty so I took it and found the design fault.

FWIW (and I'm no expert!) all the KitSound stuff I've purchased via the Vodafone store on eBay has had pretty good reviews and been excellent quality. Maybe worth having a look?
remoteviewer

Had a few things from them before without any problems but not this time. One positive though had a ebay voucher for £30 today so will have a look on there for a decent one. Any suggestion £50 budget?

It's GearBest. What did you expect? You were warned about GearBest's track record of sending out inferior cr.@p.
On a positive note, at least you received your package - many people find their smart-phone orders get mysteriously "lost" during shipping.
Given you can buy exactly the same speakers on eBay for £7 to £7.50 (sourced from the UK, and with the ability to easily return them and Paypal protection) it does make you wonder why anyone would order from GearBest in the first place.

Received mine today as well agree with your comments volume down button was stuck had to take it apart to try and fix and doesn't seem very loud either.

Mine arrived today, they don't appear as good as the reviews stated.
The box it came in was very flimsy old and bent up, unlike the "hard" cases people are opening on YouTube videos for fivestar f808's.
Not impressed so far with sound quality.
Seems very similar to "market speakers" one ones you may see on a beachfront in Greece or Spain!

Gearbest why do you continue to to list items as in stock when you don't have said items. In the western world this is considered as fraudulent behaviour and you will lose customers because of these dirty tricks.

Different product different day but the same story with me! It really hacked me off as the item listed in stock was needed in a hurry Gearbest refused to refund and so it took over 2 months to recieve in the end.
Fraudulent dogs, mods when will they be banned from here???

I ordered one on the 21st March I have just contacted them and they haven't any stock and it won't be replenished until the end of March even though it's showing stock on the site.
This is the reply I got,
We're sorry that the remain item you ordered is one of our most popular ones.
Although we anticipated this and have submitted a large order with the manufacturer, they have been unable to supply the goods on time leading to a delay in your order.
We have urged the manufacturer to expedite delivery and the items will be in stock again at the end of March .
We would appreciate that you wait for the items to come back to our warehouse.
We will ship the order promptly once it is available.
Once again, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that may have caused and we look forward to hearing from you.
Mine just arrived (ordered 2 weeks ago) and to those stressing about the F stress no more - it's a Fivestar and the f is definitely on the front of the speaker. Just charging it up now but tried bluetooth from my phone and connected no probs. Very loud and sounds really good for the money (and, yes, that Chinese lady inside doing the announcements in Chinglish is very cute :smile:)

Is this digital FM? Really want one with Bluetooth! Where did you get the smart bottle @kos1c?
I have a soundlink mini on a similar basis to this. More than adequate for the kitchen and garden.

Rated Hot for the product but I want to make you aware about the seller.
I would not recommend gearbest. I ordered something from the EU warehouse on 5th March and I still wait for the parcel to be delivered. On 6th March, one of my friends ordered something from them and his parcel wasn't delivered as well. The customer support is rubbish and they just say to wait to be delivered, even after they said on 10th March that it will be delivered in 1-3 days.

From two of the user reviews
Pros: Just like beats pill except needs a beats sticker on the "f"
Cons:
none it works great
Pros:
better then beats pill, I love it. works great and can't beat the price.
Cons: has f where beats b is on the front, but no big deal. buy it you won't regret it.

"connected-er succesfully", the best one is if you try and go past full volume, she goes; "The volume is at biggest!"
The soundlink mini knock off is the same internally.
