Vanzon V40 Bluetooth Speakers, Portable Wireless Speaker V5.0 with 24W Loud Stereo Sound, 24H Playtime, TWS & IPX7 Waterproof, Suitable for Travel, Home and Outdoors-Light Green (HIJ)

Many of the differing opinions posted here for these speakers, and even my review, are influenced by how many BT speakers we have actual experience with. I have a big old BT speakers, old as in 2014 ;-) Its battery life is fading. Its size & mass probably help it produce its good bass. Since it's that old, it lacks the benefit of newer BT technologies; it connects slowly and it's too agressive at disconnecting, presumably to save energy. Compared to that big old thing, my pair new X5 Pro BT-5 speakers seem great. They're smaller, lighter, and sound great. Being able to space them apart for wider stereo effect is REALLY really nice too. At the price I paid (a little below current price), getting two was not very expensive. BTW, I think any TWS pair should have the same benefit of wider stereo separation (duh). People have different tastes in volume and bass. For me, these are plenty loud and have good bass, with great sound quality, especially if I can use an equalizer to increase the bass sent to them. They can't compete with my car or home stereo systems, but I never expected them to. They are for convenience for me. Pairing them together then pairing with my BT-5 phone works well, as I expect. I've been frustrated by how two sets of BT features are very often mentioned but poorly explained, CODECs and PHYsical Layers (PHYs). I wish we could share URLs here; I'd point to some articles on the subjects. The problem is how your devices will NOT make use of good new CODECs, and how your devices will NOT makes best use of the newest PHYs, if at all. Digressing briefly, it's interesting to note is how long it takes new BT specs to reach market share. BT-5 spec was established circa 2017. CODECs: By default, and most commonly used, is a CODEC called SBC, which BT requires in all BT versions. It doesn't matter if your audio source is FLAC, OPUS, AAC, or MP-3 (I think Spotify uses Vorbis!). BT will (almost always) decompress the audio stream and recompress it in the inferior SBC CODEC, before transmitting to the receiving device. Many of you can appreciate decompression/recompression with lossy formats will result in decreased quality. It's analogous to making a photocopy of photocopy of a photocopy. Detail is lost each time. You'll see references to yet other CODECs, used mostly I think for BT, being available in some devices, CODECS like aptX, aptX HD, LDAC, and even AAC. These other CODECs are to varying degrees better than SBC. But unless both the transmitting device and its software and the recieving device and its software will make use of the same BT related CODECs, they'll default to using SBC. Which is almost always the case. In theory an Apple AAC user could transmit BT without conversion to an AAC capable devive. Heck, in theory, any of those superior audio source formats (except maybe FLAC) COULD be sent without conversion if the BT receiving device supported the CODEC. Apparently none are so equipped. I'll let the reader reflect on why that might be ;-) PHYs: Without delving into what a PHY is, just think of PHYs as hardware features that can potentially provided enhanced performance. BT-4 introduced low energy (LE) with a good 1 mbit/sec data, made possible by what is called PHY LE 1M. BT-5 adds among other things, two more PHYs, LE 2M (doubles the data rate potentially for better audio quality) and LE Coded (quadruples the range, potentially). But implementing PHY LE 2M and PHY Coded are OPTIONAL. So a manufacturer can make a few enhancement required by the BT-5 spec, but essentially sell a BT-4 device as BT-5. And like with the CODECs, the devices may not support the same PHYs, thus preventing their benefit. Very few phones support all the PHYs yet. Most support either PHY LE 2M or PHY LE Coded, or neither. I have read of very few supporting BOTH yet. And those that do are both cheap and expensive models, so it's not obviously a cost issue. For Android owners, there's an app called nRF Connect for Mobile that can be used to identify which of these PHYs your BT transmitting device (phone, tablet, etc.) supports. My phone doesn't support PHY LE Coded. It does support PHY LE 2M (high speed). As required for all BT-5 devices, my phone DOES support BT low energy (BLE), but that's not a PHY by itself. I'm not sure, but I think all BT-5 devices must support PHY LE 1M. BT-4 with PHY LE 1M is actually pretty good, including distance/range. Speakers and earbuds and headphones support various PHYs, without telling you which if either of the two new BT-5 PHYs they support. I have yet to see a speaker description identify which PHY it implements. But there are hints. If the description mentions extra long distance connectivity, then there's a good chance it uses PHY LE Coded (long range). I wanted BT-5 for enhanced connections and the possibility of the benefitting from the better CODECs and PHYs. I cannot (yet) tell what these speakers support. While, as stated above, I was able to use nRF Connect for Mobile to determine my phone's features, I could not figure out how to use it to tell me about these Vanzon X5 Pro speakers. I wonder what the speaker manufacturers use to accomplish this speaker-to-speaker TWS connecting. But again, I digress. I just know my X5 Pros sound great in TWS mode, very good standalone, they connect fast, and (so far) have good battery life. I'm very happy with them. Other than specs, it's hard to know for sure how well they really compare to other similar speakers. People's opinions are so subjective and sometimes biased, it's hard to rely much on reviews.

Really impressed with this speaker! The sound is loud, clear, and has great bass for its size. It easily fills a room and works great for both music and podcasts. The battery life is amazing—I get hours of use without needing to recharge. It pairs quickly with Bluetooth, and the connection stays stable. I also love the TWS feature—you can pair two for even better sound. It’s lightweight, portable, and feels well-made. Perfect for home or on the go. Definitely a great buy for the price!

Clean and loud sound! Connect a second speaker for stereo surround! I was able to purchase two of these speakers for a total of $40 dollars and I am not disappointed. The music fills my garage and it sounds great. I used a single speaker as a soundbar with my fire stick, I have not set up surround sound with a movie only music.

I picked up the Vanzon V40 Bluetooth speaker for my weekend camping trips, and it’s completely blown me away. The 24W stereo sound is surprisingly rich and full, with clear highs and solid bass that fills my whole campsite without sounding distorted, even at max volume.The battery life is incredible – I used it for over 10 hours straight playing music and podcasts, and it still had half the charge left. It easily lasts multiple days of casual use on a single charge, which is perfect for trips where I don’t have access to power. I also love the TWS dual pairing feature; when I brought a second speaker along, pairing them together gave me a true surround sound experience that made our party so much more fun.The speaker feels durable and water-resistant, so I don’t have to worry about splashes by the pool or light rain. It connects to my phone instantly via Bluetooth, and the controls are simple and intuitive to use. The compact, lightweight design makes it easy to toss in my backpack, and the sound quality is way better than other speakers I’ve tried in this price range. Whether I’m at the beach, camping, or just hanging out in the backyard, this speaker delivers every time. It’s powerful, long-lasting, and built to handle all my adventures. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable portable Bluetooth speaker!

What's not to like about this portable speaker? I have an Oontz Angle that's not holding a charge as long as it used to so I decided to pick up something inexpensive so I wouldn't get bent if I dropped it in the lake or accidentally shot it while at the range. (Just kidding.) I read a few reviews on this - but frankly, I was a bit rushed on my time and while I was in Brazil I took a chance and ordered it. It was waiting for me when I got back home. It was a good purchase. Fired it up and ran through some of my usual tunes - Sp33fy M@n, Tiesto, Oakenfold, Hank Jr, ZZ Top, Rush, Ludivico Einaudi, and even a little Sturgill Simpson. EVERY song I played sounded simply outstanding! Surprisingly even the bass in Sp33y and Oakenfold sounded pretty solid. I don't typically expect to hear a decent bass sound out of portable speakers, but this bad boy - well if I put my hand on the table I can feel the bass vibrating my hand. Vibratium!! :-) Although audiobooks don't typically put a load on a speaker, my audiobooks sounded extremely clear, without any additional "white noise" in the background. In terms of functionality, it really covers the bases. Pairing via Bluetooth to my iPhone and iPad were a cinch, although I did have to disconnect my iPhone BT before I could pair it with my iPad, I do not believe that's a speaker limitation so much as it is a BT limitation, although I could be wrong. I found the 66' BT range to be accurate as long as it's relatively LoS (Line of Sight) Once you start introducing walls between your device and the speaker, the range is cut down dramatically, depending on wall composition and thickness. Just something to keep in mind. From my office to my master bath at the other end of my home, I could get intermittent connectivity. That said, I could move the speaker a couple of feet away and pick up a better signal with only an occasional drop in connectivity. I'm pretty impressed with the BT range all things considered. I know that doesn't tell you much since you don't know the layout of my home, but just imagine a few walls and maybe 30-40' of straight-line distance with walls in between. Like others, I provided several pictures along with my old flight helmet (just to increase cool factor and add some color) but specifically to give you a reference on size. One pic shows the buttons and you can see that it's pretty basic with 5 buttons, but they are multi-functional buttons, depending on how long you depress the button. For example, a short press on the (-) button reduces volume, while a long press plays the previous track. Personally, I prefer that than having 10 buttons on the speaker. KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) isn't a bad mantra to have. In terms of "connectivity", it uses a USB-C cord to charge the battery. I charged it overnight and have been listening to it since 0745 this morning (currently 1345) and it shows no signs of a weak battery or slowing down. If you are curious as to whether you can use a small charging block as you use on your phone, I've sent a question to their support to ask if I can use a block like for my iPhone or if I need to charge it using my laptop. I suspect I can use a block to charge it, but I wanted to make sure. It has a slot for a micro SD card with a 66gb capacity if you want to have music without having to pair your phone or worry about battery drain on your BT device. This speaker also utilizes TWS (True Wireless Stereo) functionality. This allows you to connect another TWS enabled speaker to your device so that you have two speakers synced together giving you true "stereo" sound. Keep in mind that both speakers have to be TWS capable for this to work. I am tempted to buy another speaker just to test this out because my Oontz does not possess this functionality. All in all, this is a fantastic speaker! I have not tested the complete waterproof capability yet, but it did a great job in the shower this morning! Closing comments: Just in terms of a comparison, I tested this speaker side-by-side with my Cambridge Works Oontz Angle, and while the loudness between the two was very similar, I found the bass in the Vanzon to be a better, richer sounding bass. I am very pleased with this purchase and the quality of the speaker and sound, especially for the price. I highly recommend this product! (That I paid for.) :-) Winner winner chicken dinner! Buy this speaker and I do not believe you will be disappointed!!

The Vanzon V40 delivers surprisingly strong 24W audio with deep bass and clear highs. TWS pairing works smoothly, and the 24‑hour battery easily lasts through a full day. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and feels well‑built. A solid portable speaker and a great gift choice.

This speaker exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is impressive, with deep and powerful bass, clear vocals, and excellent overall performance. Bluetooth pairing is fast and stable with no lag or interruptions. Despite its compact size, it delivers surprisingly rich sound and doesn’t take up much space. The battery life is outstanding and lasts a long time on a single charge. The build quality feels solid and premium, and it’s very easy to use. Sound Quality: Powerful and immersive Battery Life: Long-lasting Build Quality: Comfortable to hold and feels durable Overall, it’s an excellent value for the price and I highly recommend it.

First love this speaker. Perfect weight. Feels solid. Well made, doesn’t feel cheap like some. Sound is good. Product overall is Five Stars. Especially the price, under $20 at the time of review. But the pricing? Horrible. The price changes faster than Gas Prices on display at the stations. I call this the pricing pendulum. In the two days I considered buying it, the price was around $18. Then the next morning the exact same one ( color and all) was $85. The other colors stayed at the $ 59 price. Then a day later, this one was suddenly $19 now. So 18-85-19 in span of hours. Now imagine buying this for $85 dollars in the morning just to see it available for $19 at lunch time. I give the pricing negative five stars. It seems dishonest. And if I bought it high and then it dipped to a low price… I’d be furious. We’re shopping here not buying stock. This practice should be forbidden or governed closely by Amazon. This product is not the only one that does that, aim talking about everyday prices not event and sales. Stop the price pendulum. But again, I like this speaker so much I want to by another,,, but checking the price again …FIRST!

Super contente il est parfait

Great speaker

I ordered this bluetooth speaker with suggestion from my friend. However, voice quality is the best more than other product. Also, this is not heavy and very handy to take outside or camping.

Great sound quality. The main feature is its waterproof. Highly recommended.

Amazing quality! As described is thank you! High Quality Product!
