Nokia Play 360 Bluetooth Speaker -White

Secondipity is one of those great choices to consider when trying to save money and help. As they also say in their main web page "our tagline is Better Value, Better Life. We want a better life for everyone and, for that reason, we give back to our community. A portion of every sale on our site goes to help children in public schools learn to love the planet earth. Secondipity has partnered with DonorsChoose.org which works with teachers from all across the United States" this is my second time I've bought from them, the first time I bought a nokia E7 from secondipity through amazon marketplace, it was at a very price, it was like new even when they said it was used in good condition. however it suddenly stopped working after 3 months of use, I tried to get help from nokia or from secondipity even Amazon but no replacement nor refund or any other help was available. This time I was kind of worried from buying this play 360 in used condition (the first time, my nokia e7 was sold in used working condition but stopped working forever) but decided to be confident enough, I don't regret the first experience, this time the item seem to be working like new, no scratches (even advertised in good condition) nobody can notice whether it's new or used, works perfectly, excellent sound quality, amazing features NFC, Stereo 360 sound (when used with another play 360 L/R channel) at the moment I'm happy and satisfied with my purchase, I have a really good product for a great price and help children and people in public schools, the helping part is what really encourages me to buy again from secondipity. 100% authentic item Nokia brand, excellent condition, fast shipping, good price, really good customer service. I highly recommend buying from Secondipity here at amazon or from their main web page Secondipiy.com. this wireless speaker has deep bass, cristal clear audio output, nice connectivity features, easy operation, even a small carrying pouch is included with the sales package, has a removable battery (great when traveling and having to swap a new spare battery when no AC outlet is available) fast recharging time when connected to an AC outlet.

If you purchased the new Lumia 900, then this is a must! Actually, this is a great wireless speaker for any Buletooth device. Connecting to your devices is simple and easy, the design and quality of construction rivals anything Apple produces, and most importantly, the sound quality is superb. The speaker projects the sound upward and easily is able to fill a room. Surprisingly, the bass is also very good. I own the new iPad, a Lumia 900, and an HP laptop. You start to really apperciate the sound that comes out the Nokia Play 360 once you connect it to your device and hear the sound transition from the device to the speaker. Another great feature is the ability to pair two devices to the speaker, and easily transition back-and-forth to both devices. The battery life is also very impressive. I'm not sure if it will last the full 21 hours as advertised, but I do know that it easily lasted 8-10 hours yesterday on only a couple of hours charge. The portability of the speaker is also a plus. It's lightweight, and it comes with a well designed neoprene carrying case. Another feature that it has is the ability to sync with a second speaker for wireless stereo sound! I haven't tried this feature out yet as I do not have two, but I will be picking up a second after this post. The only critisism that I have, and this is really a non issue, was that the bottom blue rubber base had a powdery grim on it. This was easily cleaned off, and must have been residules of the manufacturing process. Really a non-issue. This speaker really is beautiful! Lastly, and surprisingly, yesterday when I was using the speaker with my cell phone and recieved a text message. My phone, through the Nokia Play anounced that I had a new text message, read it to me, allowed me to respond back verbally, and sent the text off, all without a need to push a button. That might not of surprised you, but it was the first time it happened to me, and I didn't even know that was possible! I like this speaker! Hope you will as well. Nokia's design and quality seem to be returning back to their high, high standards!

The Nokia Play 360 is a great portable speaker. The sound quality is really impressive. No, it is not comparable to audiophile studio speakers, but it is great for playing music off your phone or iPod. I've listened to it side-by-side with other comparable speakers and this is definitely higher quality sound than the Jambox or Satechi. That improved sound does come in a slightly bigger package, but it is still quite compact. If space and size are at a premium, you might want to compare sizes... If you're looking for a convenient speaker with great sound quality to use at the beach/pool/parties or in your office/workshop, this is a great choice. The bluetooth connection is a great feature and makes it easy for multiple people to help contribute their music. The included 3.5mm male-to-male plug makes it easy to connect a device that does not have bluetooth. The battery life is also great. One full charge lasted me 4 days playing for 6-8 hours each day at about 80% volume.

These speakers are exactly what I needed. The NFC works perfectly, and fast (on both a Nokia Lumia 920 and a BlackBerry Bold 9900). Actually, the speaker doesn't even need to be on... once the NFC tap occurs, it turns itself on and pairs automatically within seconds! Also works with my wife's iPhone 4s and iPad mini through bluetooth without a hitch (though no NFC on the Apple, too bad for them). I actually have two speakers, one for me and one for my wife. Connecting the two of them in stereo mode is simple enough... just turn them off, and press the power button for 5 sec on both of the speakers simultaneously. At this point, they beep at each other for a little while and decide that one is the L channel and the other is the R channel (announced clearly from the speaker itself). Once this is done, simply pair your device (either NFC or bluetooth) to the L speaker. Voila... stereo! The battery life is over 15 hours (amazing to me)... with a replaceable battery too (wow). Finally, the sound is excellent, especially with both speakers working together.... Size is a little larger than some might like, but I imagine it's necessary to get the sound that these guys put out... though still easily grabbable with a good feel in the hand. Actually feels very light when you are holding it. Build quality is excellent, as expected from Nokia devices. Definitely a premium feel (the aluminum grill is a nice touch, as is the rubberized base...) Finally, the pairing and volume buttons are easy to find and use (though remebmber... no need to use the pairing button with NFC devices). I really appreciate the micro-usb for charging, as these are easy to come by (no special charger required). Overall, everything is exactly as I wanted. Kudos to Nokia for figuring out a great way to get music off of devices!

I love Nokia and most products they design. This speaker is beautiful and provides quality sound (considering its price tier). I only wish its Bluetooth setup was compatible with all MacBooks (does not work with my MacBook Pro Retina 2012). Update: August 30, 2013, docking one star I purchased these speakers so I can use them with my laptop (MacBook Pro Retina 2002). Nokia Care responded that they no longer provide hardware modifications for these speakers (I read online that they used to) and that if I want to use Bluetooth speakers with my Macbook, I need to purchase another model... Sigh. Furthermore, after about an hour of use after completely charging both speakers, they both suddenly disconnected and died (still investigating this). Seriously considering returning them. Update 2: I also tested the speakers with my Lumia 520. They connect fine HOWEVER, every time the song changes when playing music with the built-in music player, there is a 2-second audio skip in the beginning of each song which is very confusing and ultimately unacceptable. I would have settled for using the speakers with just my Nokia but the connection is spotty and insufficiently seamless even with a Nokia-manufactured playback device... This is my experience at the very least... Sigh :( Update 3: the 1-2 second skip before each song does not occur in every use, however there seems to be no way to isolate and fix it. I have decided to return the pair that I got. I am opting for Nokia JBL instead. It is too much hassle to deal with skips and connectivity issues. I wasn't lucky with this pair but I hope it works better for others as Nokia's speakers are usually great.

Got a pair of these. Exceptional build quality and packaging. Sound quality cannot be compared to more expensive wired Bose speakers: not enough of powerful bass or clearest treble. But still, the sound is very good: both clear and loud for a large room. These speakers are nice for listening to movies, radio and all types of music when connected to a tablet or a phone. They are not tiny, but you can pick them up with one hand and carry around. They don't take too much space on a desk either. More convenient in use than other small Bluetooth speakers: - Charges via a micro-USB port. Any USB charger will work, with any micro-USB. Each speaker comes with its own charger. A Li-Ion battery lasts a long time and is replaceable. - Has the standard 3.5mm headphone jack for analog input. Each speaker comes with its own cable, too. Having standard connectors for both charging and audio input blows away other mini-speakers that require special unified cables for both charging and audio input. - It is easy to pair two of them for stereo output. Then it works for either Bluetooth or wired input. The second speaker always receives (stereo) audio wirelessly, you can move it around without tangled cords. - If two speakers are paired, the volume control works on either speaker as well as the power-off button: both will be turned off. You will need to turn each on separately, but they will automatically and quickly re-connect wirelessly. The pair will work with either Bluetooth or wired input to one of the speakers. - NFC works perfectly for switching the speaker on and automatic Bluetooth pairing. - Two Bluetooth sources can be used, you won't need to repeat the Bluetooth pairing procedure every time the source is changed.

5 stars for 2 years, but down to 1 now.... I love the speaker, It has terrific sound and battery life. I used it for 2.5 years and its going strong. HOWEVER, no one is supporting the hardware. It will not work most new Windows Phone 8.1 devices due to some kind of Bluetooth compatibility issue. It connects via NFC, but wont play any sound. Older hardware works great. No one is responding from Nokia or Microsoft. Super P.O. about this... its making me completely rethink my loyalty and love for the Windows Phone platform. The App Gap is one thing, but when devices that were designed to work with each other do not work and no one cares, that is a problem!

After reading and store testing lot of Bluetooth speakers, I ordered this speaker from Amazon. I have used it for a few days now and I must say that this device is unique and in a class of its own. The form factor, design, acoustics and technology of this device is similar to none other in the market. That being said, I absolutely love this speaker. My galaxy Note 2 connected with Bluetooth via NFC and Spotify radio and google music on first attempt. Subsequent connections are just a phone/speaker tap. Many people have complained about the sound not being too loud. I personally think that the sound volume is just about right and any more louder might distort the sound quality. Finally, the sound quality is EQUALLY comparable with a Bose system that I have at work. Perfect blend of crisp clear sound with excellent bass. As a matter of fact, this has the best bass I have seen in all the portable speakers I tested before buying this. I have this speaker sitting on a shelf that is in the edge of two walls in my bedroom and the room fills with sound at about medium volume. Increasing the volume keeps the sound crisp and clear with no compromise in sound quality. I highly recommend this speakers to anyone looking for a good quality portable speakers specially the NFC connectivity (Sorry apple users, you might have to wait for iNFC first). Update: My wife and I liked this speaker so much that I ordered another one for her to use in the kitchen area. Her Sammy Galaxy S3 connected to bluetooth via NFC and spotify at first attempt.

great product by nokia .......fine tuned as per my xpectations i luv it ...songs r clear nd bluetooth range is quite large

connecting two in stereo system could not be achieved. but otherwise nice one
