My mom got this for a x-mas present and I played with it for a few days, great for picnics or laying on the beach or cruising around a golf cart (That's what I did with it). It gets pretty loud, good for filling a room with music. You can feel the bass when its in your hands, the thing is really trying to slam! But you can't so much hear it. Good product. Worth 200? Ehh I wouldn't exactly be excited to spend so much on it. Bluetooth is really cool though, you can call through it too.
