    I bought this jewel for my son who has Autism and LOVES music, but with also having Sensory Integral Dysfunction, his music MUST have quality sound! (No transistor type of high treble shrill sound). Well, not only are we both ecstatic about this little beauties sound quality, I am simply BLOWN AWAY by it's personality! It's a little Tank that can basically follow you anywhere! AND, not only does this little brick size slice of goodness have quality sound and versatile travel abilities, it's just what I called it, a little Tank! Those of you who never have accidents may cast the first stone, but let me tell you, accidents happen....to us all! But, if you have not been blessed in having a teenage Autistic son, with Sensory Integral Dysfunction, and the inability to speak, then you will not possibly understand all the fun and comedic times we have together. Our little Tank has been dropped, more than once, it has gotten wet, it has been left in high heat, and left outside over night! Because of it's personalities, it has become a member of our family, we all keep going, giving our best, no matter what we face!

    I love this speaker. It very loud and durable. I can take it anywhere without worry of it going to break easily. If I forget my charger it has a wireless charge available. It doesn't feel cheaply made. The only thing is that it does have some weight to it but besides that I don't have any other issues.

    I like the fact that it's water proof, rugged, for the price you pay is pretty decent. But the one thing is I wish the Bluetooth should be better! I can go no further then maybe 10 feet without cutting out. Even though it's range is 30 feet. But I guess it's ok but it could be better. But I do injoy the quality of the sound. Sound pretty good, bass is decent. But all in all I would recommend it.

    This is our second speaker purchased from this brand. The one before was used in a very dirty hot welding shop and lasted 3 years. So we purchased another one knowing we would get our moneys worth. we have purchased other more expensive brands and they would only last about 3-6 months in that environment. They have updated the speakers and now they have wireless charging to charge your phone and also the battery life on this thing last a LONG time. DEF. recommend Also the price is very reasonable bought it for $60

    Amazing sound from a tough little device!

    The sound is great for a small room or even an outdoor area. Connecting to it from any phone is a snap and it stays connected. The clear box it comes in is a bit tricky to open, but it's pretty darn tough and works great for storage if you want to toss the whole unit in a truck storage box. I "drop tested" the speaker accidently getting it out of the box before I even got to use the thing and there is absolutely zero evidence I did (short of me just stating it in a review...this is anonymous right?:) ). For real it's tough and sound is quite amazing for a tiny device. Oh, the Qi charging is also quite nice if you have a capable phone. If not, it does have a USB out for keeping the phone topped off. I've connected it to google home and that works great as well...far better sound than the speaker in the GH, and no noticeable delay or lag which is nice.

    Great music player loud enough for personal use. It is water resistant haven’t been brave enough to check to see if it floats. I don’t know if it will play 30 hours but it lasts a day at normal volume.

    This is a great wireless speaker for the price, the sound is very rich for such a small speaker. Love the bass, and the fact that its waterproof so it great for the beach or pool. You won't be disappointed.

    Santa Clause purchased this for my 19 yr old daughter and had compared several units in the store for sound, features, price and this seemed to be the best option. Until we got it operating at home we did not know how well this unit actually works. We are very pleased with sound quality, volume, etc... I am normally a Bose buyer but VERY glad that I went with the Altec Lansing compared to all other brands and models at Best Buy.

    Great sounding speaker. Looks durable. Speakers cuts out within 10 feet of blocking the device with your body. I've owned 4 other brands and have never experienced this. My $10 speaker has better Bluetooth connectivity than this. Too much money considering Bluetooth sucks.

    I drive for a living. The truck that I use every day, doesn't have a radio. I use the Altec Lansing - BoomJacket Jolt Speaker to play music, listen to the radio from my phone. The Altec has no issue over coming the engine or exhaust. It's held up well setting on the dash and getting banged around a few times.
