Promate BOOM-10-BLK 10W Wireless HD Bluetooth Compact Lightweight Speaker - Black

I purchased two of these today instead of going for the Ultimate Ears UE WONDERBOOM 3 as it was half the price and offered linking the speakers together.
However there are a number off issues with them:

• The true stereo sound instead of playing on both speaker, only plays on one side and the volume plays on the other at maximum level
• Aux in to any device, PC or cellphone will not work no matter how many times the "function" key is pressed
• The voice prompt when you turn it on is extremely loud!

Good sound. Good features (3.5mm analogue input, two types of memory card, as well as bluetooth. Battery life is good.
Problems are all ones that can be worked around:
1. Turns on defaulting to high volume and you have to press the "-" button quite a while to get it quieter.
2. Says what mode it is in when switching on (at high volume!).
Solution for these if you want to avoid embarrassment when taking it to a venue: turn it on at home, set it to the correct volume and input, and leave it on until needed - the battery life is good, remember.

3. Analogue audio input via 3.5mm cable supplied includes a high level of noise sometimes, e.g. when a smartphone is nearby.
Solution: use a better, longer, shielded cable. It is nice they supply cables with the device, but that 3.5mm audio one is poor.
