House of Marley Get Together bluetooth speaker review 

This was a great review, I'm thinking of getting one of these for my backyard.

I'm so particular about sound this speaker is so good, especially on the base! Sounds so good.

Really great review. Very comprehensive.

You can definitely tell the difference. We have a Bose and it is shockingly great when used as bluetooth; however, I wouldn't mind have something like this. The price is good and the review definitely helps one decide if it will work for them or not.

I was gifted one of these and everyone is always shocked to hear the quality of sound coming out of it. I personally love it and the classic wooden look is cool as ever .

Shopping online is for the brave ones, lol. One has to buy after reading reviews and analyzing them. This is a juicy video, great recycling hey, the speaker looks so neat.

Thanks GK, I managed to fix my jack problem on the mini however the larger Get Together had a battery issue. What annoys me is that the batteries in these units could have been designed to be easily replaced as opposed to what the Marley design team settled on. The current design has effectively put a use-by date on the likely hundreds of thousands of these units worldwide that will likely end up in a landfill. In a time when we need to be resource conscious why build obsolescence into their product?

Nice review. I paid C$90 plus tax on sale for using with my computer. The sound is good in terms of C$90 but I will not pay more, with more money I would get the Edifier R1700BT except that one is not rechargeable/portable. Speaker (or brain?) break-in helped. The constant female voice of "charging" is a pain in the unmentionable part of the body. That means you will not be able to keep the unit charging all the time. I would have returned it if not for the deep discount price. In contrast, I usually listen with earbuds: Momentum TW, Jabra 85T/75T, Sony 1000XM3 and Mifo O7. I switch to the speaker sometimes when I want to give my ears some rest. And I do not carry a cell phone therefore I would not use the speaker for that purpose. And yes, music does sound better corded over BT. Micro-USB is yesterday's technology. The USB-out charging port is only 1A, pretty useless for quick charging a demanding smart phone. Yes the Bluetooth can be improved with aptX support. And it is not water-resistant like the JBL, Anker or DOSS so I do not know if it is a good idea to take it into the shower room.

I’m having a problem connecting this speaker to the actual marley turntable?? The other two speakers connect no problem?

You'd have to hear it in person... It's going through your microphone's & then it's coming through my phone... So, you can't really get a good gauge on its sound quality & volume... It sounded better in the red speaker....

So i have 2 of these and of of them when switched on has a constant red light and it doesnt play anything unless its connected to the other speaker. Why is that?

Hi i got this one and love it but how do i change the language tho? I somehow pressed something and the language changed from English to Spanish. Thanks in advance for your help 😅

Great review. I love the speaker. Instructions tell me it can be used with phone for conversation.and has builtin microphone. Can you tell me where the microphone is?

I wish it had a USB C port instead of a USB Mini. I'm not buying any more electronics with idiotic USB Mini ports. People are complaining of easily damaged USB ports on this unit and the very annoying voice that constantly talks to you, telling you it's charging, it's powering off, etc. This is a pass for me, not matter how cool looking it is. It's also too pricey in Canada now, $180 and it's even Amazon Prime day today. Not discounted at all.

Big like

Is 117€ a good price for the Netherlands (brand new). I am talking about the non-mini version

The sound isn't so good on mine! I'm not impressed with performance But I love the look Plus the marley signature😁🤣

Is it louder then the megablast ue boom

Is it ok to play while charging, the battery will not damage??

3:50 Wait, will the battery actually last longer while the speaker is plugged in? I doubt it

How’s the battery life ....

I swear these people that make these speakers never like putting a skip or back button on them

Can you connect it to the duo?

Would have gotten this if it had stereo sound.

How to use mic

Just bought one used for £45

i cant wrap my head around how this is an award winning sound system. theres no stereo and no mids and no highs so no balance at all and all your getting is deep lows so ultimately they sound like your holding a pillow over your speaker i have a cheapy £15 Bluetooth speaker given to me for free with better balance

Should I get it for 50$

They look and sound good but they just don't last. Had both the mini and the full size versions and both went faulty in a few years and no one wants to fix them. Wont touch another Marley product again.

You must be test it while your moving, for testing the Bluetooth.

Looks great, but sounds awful!

Good sound, but: My Bluetooth Speaker after falling down once broken. On my request, no spare parts or repair option. Sustainability can only be achieved through circular economy and I feel screwed. Quote website: "Every Marley product shows that responsibility to the environment is taken very seriously." Such a thing is also called greenwashing and is even more disgusting than standing by one's greed for profit and, by the way, has nothing to do with Marley's values. The "support" (only reachable by mail) didn't even understand what I mean at all. I am very disappointed and can really no longer recommend these products to anyone. For JBL, on the other hand, there are many spare parts. The Marley speaker now ends up in the trash can - really sustainable, really climate-friendly.

You didn't even play reggae

Stay away from these, they work intermittently, I have problems all the time.

Sounds terrible
