Roland BTM-1 Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Guitar Input - Perfect for Musicians, Outdoor Performances & Home Practice

I love my BTM-1. I bought it after a huge price drop. I acknowledge that the original $199 is steep. But! This is actually an amazing Bluetooth speaker. It is much better than most such speakers. So the original price is not so far fetched. I love listening to music through this. As a keyboardist I also wanted to use this as a portable amplifier. And it does a beautiful job of this too. But it’s important that you plug your instrument in the AUX port. Usually the guitar amplifier input works fine for keyboards but on this the dynamics of the keyboard sound create unpleasant sounds when connected to the amp input (unwanted distortion). Connected to the AUX port however and this sounds sweet with a piano or keyboard sound. I’ve used it with the Yamaha PSS-A50 for example and it sounds great!I’ve also seen complaints about the battery life. I don’t use mine a ton. But it’s held its charge for weeks when used a few days apart. I think it’s a great device and has gotten a bad wrap primarily because of the original high price. It should have always been priced lower. Hope this is helpful.
