Reviews for Carbon Audio Zooka Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

Okay--I am not one to be all up in a device, but this one really grabbed me. It's lean, it's not afraid of being colorful. I don't want another black or silver device. I want something that I can throw in my handbag that matches my shoes. Which is why I got the Zooka in red. Because I am obsessed with red shoes. Also--I am from the era of boom boxes. This is the new boom box, only, outside of the box. I love it. I love it for both my iPad and Macbook. But laying in bed at night and kickin' it with Netflix with booming sound... on my iPAD...? I love it! I also love that people say... "WHAT IS THAT?" when I throw it onto (insert my device here). It's some serious sass, and thank you Zooka for not creating another boring f'ing product.

The Zooka has nice sound but the operation is not as easy as the commercial indicates. The commercial shows putting it on the ipad and playing a song. BUT first you have to go to the ipad settings (each time) and go through the bluetooth. Also, it comes with a real lack of instructions!!! You have to use your ipad charger plug to charge it--the Zooka only comes with a very short cord.

After loosing most my sight I have become a true Apple lover, this product is no exseption. Easy to set up, Easy to use, works very well with all the apple products. Can be moves around doesn't have to stay on devise. Heavy, well built. color Choice are few, I did get a pink one because I can see bright colors. Sound quality is good and does get very loud. I will give it a good rating, pricey yet I did find mine on sale. 5 Stars its what the box describes..

Good - design, setup and volume.
Bad - Serious problem with latency. If you wish to hear the sound in sync with the lips of the speaker or the fingers of the performer it's not the product. I suppose this is because of Bluetooth. Did not sync up with the visuals on the New iPad or iPhone 5.
Recommendation - it's the best of the bunch but buy it somewhere that you can return it if it doesn't meet your needs.

Love this product - great design and great sound. Love the fact that my ipad can sit safely inside.

As a backer of the Kickstarter project, I received this speaker in the mail with a bit of skepticism. I loved the sleek design and feel of the silicone exterior. When I connected this awesome little speaker to my iPad2 for the first time, I was blown away. Crisp sound and loud volume. (Bass is lacking but look at how small it is). Next I tried with my iPhone4, instant satisfaction. Not only does it sound great, if I get a call, Boom Bluetooth in my car for $99! Now I use this thing every time I get in the car for a speakerphone. Great product Carbon Audio!

I could never get this to work. Absolutely no instructions whatsovever. Not one scrap of paper. Returning it tomorrow.

Apple should be embarassed to even be associated with this product and company.

I have found that the speakers on the new generation IPADS are really superior to this gadget that produces tinny, canny and low level sound. In fact, it takes away from the machine's own speakers. Now it sits on the shelf, waiting for a fate I can't decide.
