    Actually could you let me know how the stereo works with these when paired together pls?

    Are the left and right channels separated?

    I ordered a black one but received this. Very disappointing! Wrong colour, no box or accessories and it looks very different to pictures of other ones I've seen

    Does this seem like a genuine one to others as i cannot find a matching official picture of one like this?

    Sorry lads, didnt physically see it yet. Thats a pic of the item sent to me by the person who picked it up.They didnt open the wrapper because they didnt buy it.

    Never had one before so never considered that could be packaging. Got it for 70 euro so was half expecting something to be wrong

    That's not a black one! I'll give you 60euro for it to save you sending back. Will go nicely with my not black one received day ;D

    You made the right choice.

    I find the Dot needs to be in a position where its best to pick up voice commands, whereas the speaker needs to be in the best position for your sound in the room.

    With the Echo you cannot separate both.

    Yeah glad I went with the boom now, being able to use the speaker in the garden during the summer sold it for me.

    I have the JBL Charge 3 which is supposed to equal or better the UE Boom 2, but I don't think the Flip is up to the level of either based on the reviews I saw.

    Megaboom arrived this morning, with the expected delivery date of next Tuesday!

    Probably gets away with the "as new" tag. Apparently there's supposed to be some sort of hook thing that should've come with it so you can hang it from something. Can't put my hand on it though.

    For £99, I'm delighted.

    Yes, I got 2 of the Blue Megaboom last week at the £99 mark. They arrived on wednesday with amazon prime. Serious sound. Make sure to upgrade the firmware in speakers via the megaboom app on your smart phone.

    Enjoy!

    Just contacted customer service there and they're giving me a 10% refund because the little hook thing that I was never gonna use, was missing!

    So £90 all in. Chuffed.
