Very durable for my news in my side by side. Not as much bass as I’d like but still produces great sound that can be heard above the engine.

I was purchasing this for my mother-in for her new hottub on her deck. This is suppose to protect from shocks, drops, and water resistant which is needed for outside elements. I dropped it several times while playing music and didnt skip a beat. Havent dropped it in water and will not but its good to know it can withstand rain. Needs more base, but this is not bose nor has bose pricing. If you dont plan on playing heavy base in your music, this is a great unit.

This is a great unit for durability, sound quality is good, battery life is excellent. There is only one thing I don't like, the volume control only works in conjunction with the input device, that is all you get, it is not an independent volume control, so it is not al loud as I would have liked to have seen.

Great sound and excellent battery life. Not 5 stars because the wireless charger though it works great, the phone vibrates off even at medium volume. Also quit working the second time I used it, but best buy replaced it with out question.

One year later, wireless charging stops working.
I really like the water resistant, put it in a pool, beach and where not.
Sound not bad. Could be better but I’m setting the bar so high.

Maybe I got lucky (read the other reviews on this speaker) but I have had no issues with my speaker. Set up was no problem, sound is amazing and it is built like a tank. Can have it on my rooftop and not worry about overheating, water getting on it, kids knocking it over, etc. I love it and glad I made the purchase. I only paid $150 for it, not sure it is worth the original $280.

Got this for $99 on clearance at B.B. loved the sound and power, minimal compression at high levels! Built like a tank! However after using for a few days, having all kinds of problems with getting Bluetooth to link with anything! And when it did link, after I turned off and went to use speaker the next day, it did not remember my phone (XSmax) ...after taking a while to get it to link again..I decided to return it.. I really like the sound and power though....buggy

I use this mostly at work, I'm a welder and I like listening to podcasts and audiobooks as well as music. Clarity at a volume I can hear is absolutely vital, if theres distortion at high volume or the volume doesn't go high enough, then it's not gonna work for me.
This is the best bluetooth speaker I've owned or even seen. It's loud, has great quality, and has held up to a dusty work environment.

I bought this for my husband to listen to when he is working in the garden. It does the job nicely. It has a great tone. Easy to use. The charge lasts all day and then some. We plug it in every night when he comes in from working.
You can't beat the price for that kind of sound. Built for outside and easy to clean.
Thanks so much for helping us find this little gem.

Bought this for our boat. The kids have tested the everything proof! It's been in the water, sand, and through having Gatorade spilled on it. It sounds best if you have the speaker sitting against a a wall or something to deflect the sound. Open air,the sound travels away very easily.

The speaker gives good sound. The "welcome" prerecorded greeting somewhat annoying, quite challenging to disable it. Speaker stopped working after about a year. Several calls to Altec-Lansing Service Techs could not get the fully charged, then the discharged and recharged again speaker to work, imputing that the otherwise very well cared for gadget to be brought to a technician to break it apart for repairs. This instruction was baffling given that the speaker had never been rained, nor fallen, nor suffered any form of "concussion". It was working one morning and stopped in the afternoon. So much for an expensive speaker, compared with still functional, beat up $120 Sony which I bought about 3 years before the Jolt! Very discouraging.

Been using this speaker for a month now and it rocks! Sound quality is great and the durability is awesome. My only complaint is the wireless charging can be tricky to access and somewhat slow to charge

The speaker is loud and holds a long battery time. It charges your phone while you are using it to play music. It is waterproof as well which helps around kids. Great buy!

The audio quality is good from a product with small speakers. And the battery life lasts as long as advertised. I am not unhappy about my purchase at all.

great sound, fully charged battery lasts about 8 hrs and the sound quality doesn't decrease as the battery dies, and its super durable, can really take a beating.
