Conclusion: We like it
The Phoenix is a small, affordable Bluetooth speaker that, in Engadget's words, "puts out the best balance of quality and volume we've ever heard in a speaker of this size."

However, its long battery life, portability, and good high-volume sound make it a worthy option for on-the-go parties.
