Cheap. Sounds a bit like a wet fart. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I received this today, having ordered a week ago on eBay. I was fairly skeptical of it being a legitimate Nagoya product given the price, so the generic box with no branding and low quality sticker on the front weren't much of a shock.

The weight. Is good. The cable length - good.
The sound quality... Abysmal. My only interest really in this speaker was the volume control on it - I'm playing around with a QYT KP-WT12 which requires an inordinate amount of button pressing to change the volume but otherwise suits my use case for it.

Having the radio output set at a fairly high volume, the speaker output at half way in a quiet room is distorted and difficult to make out clearly. Dropping the radio volume and increasing the speaker volume isn't doing much for it.

As noted in previous reviews, the hollow speaker box has a "pipe" sound to it.

I paid AU$13 for it, and I see the seller is now selling it at AU$19. I'm glad I didn't pay that for it.
That said, it can go in the junk drawer when I get around to buying a far better quality speaker that will ultimately go with the radio into a vehicle.
This speaker might at least come in handy for something one day. A long with the other things I've been carrying around for the past few decades.

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
