Does this speaker work if you just put it on a hardwood floor, or is that too big of a surface? Any estimates of the Bluetooth range?

It does indeed work if you put it on the floor. I feel the bluetooth range is good. It can work even if in different rooms. If it's across the house, it goes in and out.

Any hardwood surface works. Not sure on Bluetooth range I've never been more then 15ft away from it while its playing

Yes, it works great on a wood floor. I think it sounds the best on wood. I set mine on the kitchen table often. If you want to boost the volume, put it on a 5 gallon bucket. Hope this was helpful!

It will work on any surface, including a hardwood floor. The wood gives it a nice rich sound. I'm not sure of the range, I've only used it reletivly close to a device. I have noticed the volume is a bit louder when connected with a cable instead of Bluetooth though.

I have it in approximately the same size room and its plenty of bass .although I have hardwood floors and they echo a little. If you like music with heavy bass it will make your neighbors mad if you crank up its volume.

Hi, Justin. I would stick with an external speaker. The BassJump is a base-reinforcement speaker that compliments the laptop's build in speakers. It works OK, but I think a separate, full range (and wireless) speaker is the way to go for training situations, which I also do as a career consultant. BTW, I just got the Bose SoundLink Mini and it is an awesome bluetooth speaker. Not cheap, but great performance for a tiny portable speaker. Fills the room with sound. You might want to check it out for your training.

Mid and high are ok, bass isn't so great but the thing is tiny. The speaker itself does vibrate at the lower frequencies so I found if you put it on a hard surface it tends to sound better. If you are looking for the chest pounding thuds of good base, this speaker won't do it.

You can put in carpet safely. I have put it all the time in Wood floor and it will give extra bass. Speakers are not that powerful for a big room. I am using only it for Surround sound and front I have floor standing speakers

How much ambient noise? Is it enclosed? Whether you're talking about either an open air area or a pretty large, probably loud closed environment, that's going to be a fairly tall order for this speaker, I think. You might want to try something a little bigger.

it worked with my Bose UB mini cube dual speakers.if you have a solid floor this will be better than on a carpet because it has the tendency to fall due to balance.perhaps it is because the base is not that heavy.

Anthony it's not a quality speaker it's no good reason why if you was using WiFi why using it with bluetooth connection it doesn't work right save your money I thought mind away.

I used the bluetooth outside of my house and it worked. As for the system and speakers i would not recommend. I would recommend spending a couple extra dollars on speakers and look for a bluetooth adaptor to add to an auxiliary port

I've only used it outdoors under a closed deck - and then only as a "instant" music speaker that I then take in when we're finished. I'm on an expert, but given the casing, etc, I'd say it's not an outdoor speaker as a regular or permanent fixture.

Only works with AirPlay (built into my MacBook Pro and added by application to my Dell PC). Range = the range of your WIFI. I plug in my Soundfly in the garage, outside porch, etc. and it works perfectly. THIS IS NOT A BLUETOOTH DEVICE!

When I forget to disconnect and take my laptop into the living-room (30'/2 walls) its still connected and sounds fine.60' is a long distance for perfect quality Bluetooth (really has more to do with the source in this case and much less about the speakers since it is, mostly, one way) and regardless of device: unless you have direct line-of-site, I would expect compromised quality.

I believe this device needs to be positioned as close to the listeners seating level as possible to be appreciated. The front speakers should roughly be in the same plane as the listener's ears. Don't think you are likely to be satisfied with a floor location. Check the return policy. If you don't like it you may be able to return within 30 days for refund, but you also may have to pay return shipping.

It's good for 10-12 feet as a wireless unit. I normally connect the SHARKK using the 3.5mm cable that is provided rather than wireless because that better suits my needs. I've demonstrated the clarity, power and even the bass generated by this incredible little speaker to friends and family and amazed every single one of them in the process.

I've used mine for quite a few hours. The sound is good, but it's so small even if played both a right and left, you really wouldn't be able to tell. This is not a high end Bluetooth speaker. It's OK for within 25 feet and the sound is good, not great.

I haven't tested this out but I will say that when I was using it, I had the speaker on my countertop in the kitchen and was able to walk to the back of my house and didn't notice any issues. Probably ~30-40 ft.

Hi Colette, I have a play:5 on the first floor of my small house, it is about 650 square feet of open space. The sound from the play:5 is great, I would recommend it highly. I haven't heard a play:3 but I wouldn't be concerned by the play:5 being too loud, bass is usually the issue for neighbors and it isn't too heavy on bass, just a nice full sound. Hope this helps.
