Another con is the missing twist ring volume control. Twisting the volume is quite a bit faster than using buttons. I thought I was going to jump on this immediately. Now I'm left wondering what else Amazon has done to cut costs. I certainly don't want a weaker speaker (hey, that rhymes)
It's lighter, for one.
They took off about 80 grams.
A few milimeters in height.
Same width.

I'm thinking it's all from the ring.
The warranty? I'd rather have the $10. If I can't break it in 90 days I won't break it in 9 years.
I just need to see if the Bluetooth works while connected to the stereo. I vaguely remember it was changed but I'm not sure.
I may move my music to the Amazon cloud if I get one.
