By default the speaker configures itself as a bluetooth headset , and requires expertise to disable that headset in playback and recording devices. You can keep the Speaker profile enabled to keep using it as a speaker.

This wireless speaker is amazing in terms of size and ease of use. It's loud for some genres, but for others like instrumentals or jazz, not really impressive. Indian music sounds pleasant, but somehow Western pop music doesn't work on this speaker. The music gets cracked up in higher volumes and lower volumes are not really audible. Good choice if you have loud music, bad choice if you want to listen to mostly softer songs. The absence of on board volume controls is a real bummer.

Compact and powerful. Perfect for a small room. Go for it.
