Not great, but cheap Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This speaker is advertized all over amazon, ebay, aliexpress and many other stores. Given the advertizement I am surprised that I cannot find other reviews of this speaker.

It is definitely an option when the built-in speaker is in an awkward place and you want a speaker aimed at you.

It comes with a long cord with a 3.5mm mono plug so will fit many transceivers. It has a mounting bracket and comes with screws and tape - several ways to mount it.

The speaker has a MIN-MAX knob but it is a PASSIVE speaker - no amplifier inside. Still, this would allow the volume to be controlled if you can't use the transveiver volume control, or for quick monitoring purposes. Because it is passive, it won't generate more volume than that the driving transceiver will deliver.

Audio quality - not so good. It will certainly do for full-quieting FM QSO's but I wonder if the conditions are not as good. It sounds a bit like "in a pipe" - not surprising since the unit inside is hollow and not filled up.
I found that quality and volume went up if I bypassed the volume control- the unit was easy enough to open.

The unit feels cheap-ish as the control panel is a sticker (that was not installed correcty, but that was easy to correct. The sticker covers holes not used on this model.

Consider this if you want something cheaply but I suggest to re-consider if you want a good quality comms cpeaker
