are there controls on the speaker to change tracks? (back and forward?) also, what is the maximum distance you can connect between device and speaker?

There aren't any controls. There is only on and off. The range isn't bad but it depends on your device as well.

No controls on speaker, all through Bluetooth. It says 30 feet, I have had it on back patio with phone inside house 20+ feet away and no issues

There are not forward/backward controls. The only control on the speaker is an on/off button. I haven't experimented with distance, but can confirm at a minimum that it works fine from 10-15ft.

No, there is no volume control on the speaker, itself. That can only be done from the receiver or amplifier to which it is connected.

The volume can be controlled from either the device or the speakers themselves. But, I've found it's best to adjust the speaker volume to 50%, and then fine-tune the volume on your device.

The volume control works fine, however the track changing option takes a little getting used to, too figure out.

The two speakers are connected together by a cord that is about two feet long so that is their maximum distance apart. Basically only one of them has Bluetooth and then uses the cord to send the signal to the other.

Yes ....the volume controls can be touched to change songs.One advances the songs, the other goes back to the previous song.

It's pretty versatile, but we haven't gotten it to do that. The connection in back are for audio out only. They don't (appear) to support audio in (just tried it: no go).

The speaker does not have volume control. Only a switch that I believe shift from right stereo left channels.

Sorry, I don't use the bluetooth function. I connect with a very short audio cable. A friend of mine told me that audio quality is depreciated via bluetooth transfer vs. direct audio cable. Thus, I have not bothered to compare for myself since I am fine with resting my ipod atop the speaker, as it is connected via the audio cable.

You can .......but I return my unit .. I am not satisfied with it's performance.. sounds seems restricted supposedly be a loud speaker.

disconnect at 5 ft range is not reasonable. the unit may be defective unless the bluetooth adapter is blocked by the speaker itself or big/thick object in front of speaker. Please email amazon or bentsai01@msn.com for replacement. Thanks!

Tested with Samsung Galaxy S3 and the single button control works for pause/play and skip track forward/back. To use it, press once for pause/play. Rapidly press twice for next track. Rapidly press three times for previous track. I haven't yet figured out volume control. It appears to be lacking it.

No, you cannot independently control the speakers volume. There are a few presets to choose from, But no independent control. However, this system sounds Great. Especially on NASCAR Race Day!

My son soaid the classic couldn't go on it. I recall there were some adapters in the box for the dock so I don't know if he tried those. Using my iphone on it I can control the tracks either with the unit's own remote or if I'm using bluetooth, there is a free Soundfreaq app which lets you control tracks on the Soundfreaq through the I phone.

Yes, but be aware of two things: 1) The volume control does not work when you use the Auxillary input jack. In that case, you are expected to control the volume exclusively on the connected device. 2) The volume control buttons are combined with the next track and previous track buttons. In other words, if you tap the previous track button, you will go to the previous track, but if you hold it down, the volume decreases.

Go to your sound and change it to out- put. Every tine you connect it will change on its own.

Turn your device ( I pod, I pad, tablet ) volume up. you controle the volume for the speaker on your device you are hooked up to, not the speaker itself.
