Product description
The essentials
If you want a genuinely portable Bluetooth speaker rather than a “desk gadget”, the EWA A106 Pro is built around that idea: small enough to clip and carry, but tuned for bass using a high-performance driver plus a passive subwoofer/custom bass radiator concept. On paper, it’s aiming for clear sound with more weight in the low end than you’d usually expect from a mini speaker.
It also takes a practical approach to controls and connectivity. You’re looking at wireless streaming from a phone or other Bluetooth-enabled audio device, and the design steers away from extra add-ons (like a microphone or a 3.5mm jack) to keep things simple.
Key points: what you’ll notice day to day
The first thing is the day-to-day usability. A dedicated travel case and a metal hook are included, which is exactly the kind of detail that makes a difference when you’re moving between a shower, a kitchen, a bike day, or the car. The speaker also uses one main silicone button for power and playback control, so you’re not hunting for settings.
The second is the audio direction. With a passive subwoofer/custom bass radiator approach, it’s set up to deliver stronger bass than typical micro speakers. That can be a win for casual listening—think vocals and modern tracks sounding fuller rather than thin. That said, with small portable designs, you still shouldn’t expect big-speaker realism at all volumes, it’s more “impressively punchy for its size” than “studio accurate”.
Where it shines for everyday use
This is the sort of mini speaker you buy for situations where you don’t want to bring a larger unit. The product description calls out plenty of locations, from outdoor use (hiking, beach) to indoor everyday spots (dorm room, kitchen, bathroom) and on-the-move options (boat, golf car, car).
A small micro-experience: picture clipping it by the carry hook, pairing it to your phone over Bluetooth, and leaving it somewhere stable while you rinse off in the bathroom or prep food. Because it’s positioned as IP67 waterproof, it’s intended to handle splashes and outdoor conditions better than a standard “table” speaker.
If you’re the type who prefers music in the background while you’re doing chores or travelling, the included case and hook make it feel less fiddly than many other compact Bluetooth options.

Battery life and charging: practical expectations
The battery numbers in the description are one of the more reassuring parts of the package. It states 4.5 hours of play time on the built-in rechargeable battery, and up to 12 hours if you keep volume around 50%.
Also, charging is described as quick enough to matter for real life: about half an hour of charge for roughly 2 hours of play time with a 1A charger. That’s useful if you forget to top it up before you head out.
Worth noting: battery performance depends on how loud you listen. If you tend to run portable speakers at high volume, you may see less than the “up to” figures.
What stands out (and what may not)
The good: - IP67 waterproofing means it’s designed to cope with wet, splashy, or outdoor conditions. - Bass-focused design for a mini speaker, using a passive subwoofer/custom bass radiator concept. - Carry-ready bundle: the metal hook and carrying case reduce the hassle of taking it around. - Simple button control designed for quick power/play/pause and track switching.
The “not perfect” bit: this model is intentionally pared back. The description specifically mentions giving up a microphone and a 3.5mm jack, so if you rely on wired listening or want hands-free calls, it may feel limiting.
It also leans into a compact sound profile. If you’re chasing big, room-filling low-end like a larger speaker, the mini size may keep you wanting more—this is more “small but confidently punchy” than “fully immersive”.
Compatibility and requirements
To use it as intended, you’ll need a Bluetooth-enabled audio device (the description mentions smartphones and iPhones as examples). There’s also a charging requirement: a charging approach is described using a 1A charger.
What’s included in the pack
You get the EWA A106 Bluetooth speaker plus the essentials you’d expect for travel and basic setup: a micro USB to USB charging cable, user manual, carrying case, and the metal hook. The listing also references a 1-year warranty and a 30-day risk-free guarantee.
Mini FAQ
Is it good for the shower?
It’s positioned as a mini speaker for bathroom/shower-type use, and the IP67 waterproof rating supports that kind of environment.
How long does the battery last?
The description states 4.5 hours play time, and up to 12 hours at 50% volume.
Does it have a 3.5mm headphone or audio input?
The description says it doesn’t include a 3.5mm jack, so it’s set up around Bluetooth streaming.
Can I charge it quickly before heading out?
The listing mentions about 30 minutes of charging (with a 1A charger) giving roughly 2 hours of play time.
Should you buy it?
A solid pick if you want a genuinely portable Bluetooth speaker with IP67 waterproof protection, and you like the idea of stronger bass for its size. It makes sense if you’re planning to use it around water, outdoors, or on the move—especially with the included carry case and metal hook.
You may want to skip it if you need wired audio via a 3.5mm jack, you care about hands-free calling with a microphone, or you’re expecting full-size speaker sound quality. For those priorities, you’ll likely find more suitable options by changing your expectations toward either larger speakers or models with the specific connection features you require.
