I received this SoundPEATS P4 portable bluetooth speaker at no charge in exchange for this review. Overall, it is a pretty good, pretty solidly made bluetooth speaker. 

The volume is controlled by turning a dial at the top of the speaker. The maximum volume is quite loud from the unit's two 5 Watt speakers, and the sound quality sounds fine to me, though I am no audiophile.

You can also move to the next track or the previous track by sliding your finger across the top of the unit. The location to slide is printed on the top of the unit, but even so, I found this to work a bit sporadically. If you don't slide your finger in exactly the correct way, nothing happens. 

To pause playback, you must briefly press the power button, which is on the bottom of the unit. It's not near the bottom, on an accessible part of the speaker. It is "underneath" the speaker, so you must lift the speaker in order to pause whatever is playing. Pause is a pretty commonly used function, so I think a pause button should have been included on the top of the unit, with the other controls.

There is an area where the micro USB charging cable, which is included, can be plugged in. The same area has a spot to plug in a standard auxiliary input/output cable.

The light on the unit is lit blue when it is on, and red when it is charging. It turns green when fully charged. (It also turns a pretty purplish color when on and charging at the same time.)

In addition to the issue I have with the location of the pause button, the other reason I am rating this a four-star product and not a five-star product is that unlike some similar products, it can't be used as a charger, to charge other devices. It has a 2000 mAh battery, which would not really be large enough to charge much of anything else. The manufacturer claims ten hours of play time from this battery.

Overall this is a pretty good bluetooth speaker for the cost. It did pair easily, on the first try, with my Windows 10 computer. If you don't have an issue with the limitations I mentioned, you would probably be happy with this speaker.
