Made Me Smile
Who wouldn't want a fidget spinner that lights up with LEDs that display geometric designs? How about one that can play music and lets you answer your smartphone? Well, many people would like something like this because it is fun and makes people laugh. I'm one of those people, but I'm disappointed that this version of this now well-worn gag gift category is rife with mediocrity.For instance, look at my picture I took of this device when I received it. Anytime there's a piece of masking tape stuck to a new purchase with "keep press hard" scrawled in grammatically incorrect English, consider that a warning sign. Forewarned, I pushed the on/off button, and sure enough -- it required the strength of a gorilla to hold the button down long enough to turn it on. Then it would only turn on about half the time. It has something to do with holding the button down long enough, but if you hold it too long, the thing gives up on you.Then there's the sound. You can't expect much from one speaker that's about a half-inch in diameter, hidden inside one of the device's circular counterweight pods. It sounds like a cheap transistor radio from the early sixties. The spinner does keep rotating for a good long while, but if you tilt it even slightly toward the vertical while it's spinning, you can hear rattling and feel unnecessary friction.But this is supposed to be a joke/novelty item, so I'll call that squawking sound and masking-tape warning and excess friction and rattling ... charming. Its LED light show is fun, where the spinning points of light create a variety of groovy designs. And the thing is solidly built out of metal, so it has that going for it.I guess this psychedelic spinner is worth its price for its ironic value if nothing else. My wife thought I was nuts for ordering it but it made me smile. I didn't expect much more than that.

Novelty spinner
I have a few fidget spinners and do not buy them any more - unless it is a unique shape or a novelty item like this one.Package is a basic white box like you get with gas station fidget spinners. No instructions or charging cables included. They declare the missing USB cable on description so no surprises there.Operating is easy. Click the button to turn on power. LED's light up and change every couple seconds. Makes for a good visual. Bluetooth pairing is done by long pressing the button from power off mode till it turns on and an extra red LED lights up. At this point you can pair it to your phone / pc. Speaker is pretty lousy. Didn't expect a Bose speaker on 15$ toy but this is not usable as a speaker.I noticed that the power button was wobbly and would slip off from center every time I spin. The case itself was not very tight and allowed charging port to move as well.I opened up the case to find a neatly arranged triangle. 1 'wheel' houses the chip and led, 1 houses the battery and 1 has the speaker. Must say I wasn't expecting this thoughtful placement of parts.I stuck the power button to the metal plate on the chip using Bondic and also put some on the case edges after closing back. Now works fine and does not shake / go off center.For a novelty toy - worth the money. Pictures included.

A fun way to pass time, but not much else
This was more of an impulse purchase, as my prior fidget spinner broke and I needed a replacement. I figured I’d pay a few extra bucks for something that also had Bluetooth audio capabilities. Here are my thoughts on the various features:• Size/Weight: Perhaps the best thing about the fidget spinner is nice and light and the spin is fairly smooth.• Sound Quality: Unfortunately, the sound is pretty muffled when I attempted to stream music from Spotify. Furthermore, you can hear a clear echo when you stream music while the fidget spinner is spinning.• Look: I like the lime green color, the plastic looks a bit cheap. Honestly, I would have expected better (physical) quality for the price. On the flipside, the lights are pretty cool and change colors while spinning.• Connectivity: No issues connecting the fidget spinner to my iPhone or Desktop PC. I will note, however, that sometimes it takes longer than normal to turn the device on.In summary, this is a nice thing to play with while you’re bored at home or at the office. I don’t find the incremental value of having a fidget spinner that can play music to be worth the extra money, particularly as you can play music or make calls with better sound quality using other means. But I can see this being the right fit for some I suppose.

Awesome fidget spinner to add to your collection
As soon as I saw this, I knew I had to have it. Now that it's arrived, Idon't regret the $9.99. This spinner does everything, lights up, playsmusic through its single speaker, and of course it spins!This spinner has it all:- Attractive green plastic- Shocking lights that flash and make super cool patterns when spinning- Amazing tinny 2 watt speaker- Powerful 200 mAh batteryI'm able to listen to sweetener 3 whole times before it dies! It chargesoff the same connector as my android phone, microusb, so I don't have tokeep extra cables around.A++

I purchased three from seller as stocking stuffers for Christmas ...
I purchased three from seller as stocking stuffers for Christmas of 2017 and these things still work. I got two metal ones and one plastic one. They all very durable. I have seen them dropped and watched one be repeatedly flicked off the counter in those “Mom watch this!” moments. The plastic one doesn’t spin as well the metal ones do. The batteries on all three of them last for 3 to 4 hours.

Love this on my desk at work...
This arrived quickly and was nicely packaged. Heck, you can buy one of these fidget spinners for the same price but it won't have the fun features this one has. I use this at work to listen to Pandora music and the person in the cube next to me can’t hear it so I’m not disturbing her. The light is a cute feature. This paired with my Galaxy S8 plus within a minute. I’m very happy with this purchase.
