I bought one a dollarama and it works great. If actually is better than a very expensive name brand one that I got as a gift at a christmas party from work
Thank you it's quite good, I can hook up my phone to ring nice and loud for incoming calls and being hard of hearing that's a good tool for a hard of hearing person like me. Thank you, I'm 80 years young and you explained it very well.
i bought one today, checked this vid to learn how to charge it You got some good tunes playin from yours. Opening up the back and i noticed sd card and USB input.
I have two! It's 5 bucks, so you can't really complain. I use them for external gaming speakers and other things. The radio is an FM scanner and I got quite a few stations! I think it's location. They don't last long when they do get them in. Tech 1 sells a bunch of cheap accesories at The Dollar Store. I was actually surprised to see this. And yea, it's only uni-directional. For what it is ~ Pretty cool! ( Battery life is decent too. )
You can if your phone has multiple Bluetooth chips, which most nowadays do. The only thing is, you'll probably find they will move out of time. Or you could run a 3.5 mm jack splitter and run them that way. I have done both before.
I paid $6 for mine. Can’t go wrong for 6 bucks. The sound for songs with bass sounds muffled, but if you play songs with a lot of treble it actually sounds pretty crisp
Fantastic review! My only complaint about this portable speaker is how LOUD it is when turning it on or off. I have never owned a portable speaker before, though, so I'm not sure if that's a problem with this particular speaker only or all portable speakers. I don't suppose anyone knows if there's a way to turn down the volume on this particular sound?
@@ravenlit I completely agree with you. I don't think there's any way to turn down that voice.When it first comes on. Most portable speakers just let out of beep, but not this one.
@@BargainSavage I thought I'd come back and give an update on my Dollarama-bought Tech-1 Rage speaker: I, uh...something weird happened with it. I sleepily went to plug the USB charging cable into the micro-USB port on the speaker to charge it up, and accidentally inserted the micro-USB tip into one of the other non-micro-USB slots (I think it was the standard USB port) and suddenly the speaker went dead. And now it won't turn on. Or off. Or I don't know _what_ it's doing, but long story short, it doesn't work anymore. Have you ever had this happen with any Bluetooth speaker? Or is this just a possibility with this particular type of speaker because it's cheaply made?
I found tons of radio stations but then where I'm at in southwestern Ontario I have stations coming outta the Ying yang And that's with out a cord for antenna lol, and like u I'm still playing with mine to see wtf it all actually does lol
If you know what you are doing. Theoretically, you could take the micro usb port out of it and then connect the power wires to 5 volts. I haven't had one apart but there should only be 3 or 4 wires connected to it. 2 for power and 1 or 2 for antenna.
I also have one but I'm facing a draining battery issue after full charge my other bluetooth device like headphones retain the charge what is the issue with this one ?
There's a micro SD card slot in there. You can load up a card with mp3 files and play them that way, just be sure it's in MP3 format, and not FLAC or m4a or any other file format, 👍
You shouldn't have to have to change the battery because it's rechargeable. Now I can't say for sure, but it most likely has a lithium ion battery that would cost more than the unit itself to replace.
@@BargainSavage I watched the Video from beginning to end and your review was very thorough. Loved it! I'm your latest subscriber. Great job and thank you for the quick reply. Thumbs up of course.
I found this Bluetooth speaker on dollarama and it didn’t even last 1 hour the quality was so bad that I threw it away and smashed it for fun I did buy it with my own money I will probably get a lot of hate reply’s but it is what it is it was bad speaker
Yep, it is definitely rolling the dice when you buy stuff from Dollarama. I was super impressed by the one I got and yours was obviously crap. You shouldn't get any hate for destroying yours. It's your money, do what you want with it.
got one of those a while back. figured it was only arouing 5 bucks.. still feel like I got ripped off 4.99.. worked one.. literally one time.. fo about 20 minutes while I tested it.. 2nd time and every time after. IF I can get the damn thing to sinc at all, it is static and lousy souind with an unreliable battery. stay away from this piece of crap.
Share food with the homless and never lie. reverse all lies ever told very important for the soul. Tell elder's to share food with the poor and be a food servant and do this in person .lieing costs our soul
I just got one at Dollarama and love it, no distortion at all. Mine did come with the instruction page printed in both English and French.
@nanagaga2001 Awesome, they must of upgraded it.

Thank you for the great feedback.
No distortion on the one I purchased. Beautiful sound. I have one from Shoppers paid $99.00 for it, no difference in them other than color.
Is there any difference in sound quality?
Good review... I just bought one from Dollarama right now..... It works.... 5 bucks.....
Thank you. $5 like really it works and it's only $5 👍
Great review my friend! Love that you explained all the functions!
Just bought one! For the price how can you go wrong! Mine works great!😊
Glad you enjoyed the video and the new purchase. Thank you.
@@BargainSavageHey man, thanks for the great vid. Do you think it's possible to pair with a receiver and use as cheap rear channel, surround speakers?
@N3bula79 For $5 it's worth a try, but I would think latency would be a problem.
@@BargainSavageThanks for the response, and yeah you are probably right about the lag/delay 👍
i bought one today, checked this vid to learn how to charge it

@@teeonezee It's a great little speaker for the price.
Have this exact one I found while, adventuring, and it works well for a blue tooth speaker and could have fooled me for a more expensive one.
Thanks for posting ! Fantastic moustache!
Thank you for watching and pointing me in the direction of this great little bargain.

@@novaterm I agree
awsome speaker better then my $34 dollar speaker no distortion on my too
Thanks for sharing. Would be nice if multiple speakers could be paired to one device.
You can if your phone has multiple Bluetooth chips, which most nowadays do. The only thing is, you'll probably find they will move out of time. Or you could run a 3.5 mm jack splitter and run them that way. I have done both before.
Depending on your main device you can add up to 3 other units
I believe as long as your device has Bluetooth 5.2 and/or released after 2020
It should be somewhere in the audio output options...
Can you connect two of them together
@nicholasnixon4284 Only if your device has duel Bluetooth module. If connected like that though, they can play out of sync.
I paid $6 for mine. Can’t go wrong for 6 bucks.
The sound for songs with bass sounds muffled, but if you play songs with a lot of treble it actually sounds pretty crisp
Yes I have to agree it doesn't like much bass. But super for such a small amount.
Ya my instr. We're in French too. How long do I need to charge my speakers for?
Till the light stops flashing. But I don't know how much time that would take.
i got 1 2 days ago its good nice bass
It must have gotten an upgrade the one I bought sounds so good I have a 200$ speaker it’s obviously better but it the 5$ one was shockingly good
@@gameladeditz Awesome

@@BargainSavage Well, it's not so bad. $5 for a portable speaker that doubles as a weird alarm that can wake the dead? Not a bad deal :D
@@ravenlit LOL 😆

@ravenlit I have never had that happen. My wife has used this speaker a lot over the past year and is still working great.
I found it has a radio on mine ..... I think lol but I find it's annoying with only french instructions lol
Only French in yours too hey.
seems to be common, I bought one today and only french also.@@BargainSavage
@@BargainSavageOnly French in mine also, maybe a production mistake and why they ended up in Dollarama haha
I found tons of radio stations but then where I'm at in southwestern Ontario I have stations coming outta the Ying yang And that's with out a cord for antenna lol, and like u I'm still playing with mine to see wtf it all actually does lol
Thanks for putting the work in on this, on mine the charger port is shot, any other way to get it to take a charge?
If you know what you are doing. Theoretically, you could take the micro usb port out of it and then connect the power wires to 5 volts. I haven't had one apart but there should only be 3 or 4 wires connected to it. 2 for power and 1 or 2 for antenna.
It's cheap enough just to take apart and learn.
@@BargainSavage Yeah, Copy that!
Good idea👍 If I frak it up, I'll replace it.
im ur 800th subber
Thank you and enjoy the show
its the BEST speaker
I also have one but I'm facing a draining battery issue after full charge my other bluetooth device like headphones retain the charge what is the issue with this one ?
@@rohangoingwild Probably the issue is cheap chinese shi....stuff. I find it's a roll of the dice on some of the items.
Hi does it read MP3 songs in a USB key?
@@SaadBoumaaza I believe it does.
what is the M button for
@McJones78 It has been a while since I reviewed this, but I would guess that it's for mode.
There's a micro SD card slot in there. You can load up a card with mp3 files and play them that way, just be sure it's in MP3 format, and not FLAC or m4a or any other file format, 👍
How long does it take to charge the whole battery?
Can't really say for sure because I plug it in at night and just unplug it in the morning and it's fully charged.
How do we get to the battery to swap it out?
You shouldn't have to have to change the battery because it's rechargeable. Now I can't say for sure, but it most likely has a lithium ion battery that would cost more than the unit itself to replace.
@@BargainSavage I watched the Video from beginning to end and your review was very thorough. Loved it! I'm your latest subscriber. Great job and thank you for the quick reply. Thumbs up of course.
@@sally12240 Thank you for all the praise.
can you sync 2 of these together?
Don't think so unless you have dual bluetooth or higher in your phone. But that way they could go out of sync a bit.
How long does the battery last for?
It has been a while since I used it, but if remember correctly, it would play for around three hours.
19:52 I guess I didn't remember correctly, but I did mention it in the video.
Wish there was a reset& or Bluetooth button for resetting nthis beauty
How do we charge it?
Plug-in the Included micro USB charger.
I just got one it had English in the instructions tiny little spot no real details
Mine won't hold a charge longer than about 10-15 minutes.
@@MoonbeameSmith From new?
@@BargainSavage well 3 dayz old now...
@MoonbeameSmith That's poor I would try and roll the dice again for under $5. Hopefully they haven't went way down in quality.

Yeah I just got one and it won’t even connect to my phone😢😅
It will play music off of a usb flash drive
Yes it will.

@ChrisTorris That's bad luck, but not the first time I heard of it. On the other hand, my wife has used one quite a bit and even left it in the rain.
I got one of these speakers by a gift and the person get me tell me it was expensive and its $80 dollars
Maybe they bought it somewhere else or maybe they were just blowing smoke.
My son had it working,,,so so...and then he left
It with me ACK..not working now!!!
Oh no!
Just bought it, hurts my ears at over 60% volume
Ya, I might like a little too loud of music.

Bluetooth stopped working randomly.. I did the forget device thing but it won't even find the speaker anymore
