The Review: The packaging, is a a resealable box which has a you can see the speaker inside and the words of  GoGroove GroovePal Jr on the front of the box  and on the back of the box it lists the functions and info about Panda International which a portion of this speaker goes to support, For the tiger speaker its the same but there is a a added booklet which talks about the panthera conservation with a drawing of a cat a kiddo can color while listening to his/her tunes

The speaker do have five identifying marks on it which is the GoGrove logo followed by the Gogroove Groove Pal Junior product name on the back of the speaker along with marks for the “link up”, MIni USB and volume The speaker indeed lives up to the kid friendly design in my opinion…

The speaker also functions as a nightlight when not using the speaker I noticed the blue is more powerful then the tiger orange The speaker comes with MicroUSB Charging Cable,3mm headphone jack cable to connect your device to the speaker  Next picture is the instruction booklet which if you want to read it will give you a lot of helpful tips on how to install batteries or use power from USB .  

Sound Quality: I used these for a few weeks and I found they were good for using Pandora, watching YouTube videos on my tablet and phone and  macbook I recommend turning the volume all the way and controlling it on the device

Conclusion:So yes the speaker is inexpensive, but is it even worth it? I would say yes if you want a speaker for the kiddo but also with a light for at night You won’t break the bank then with some other kid speakers out there So in all it’s not bad for a speaker, but I think they could do better if they added bluetooth and maybe something to dim or make the night light brighrter but if this doesn’t bug you then you are sure to enjoy this headset from Accessory Power The final score averages out to be a 10 out of 10, but that takes into account everything, but as you can see below it the pros out do the cons by a long shot.
