![]() Too bad, as the sound was perfect for my needs. Nowhere near the 10 hour battery life they claim and a dealbreaker for me as I routinely need a speaker that will play for 2-3 hours at minumum. I returned it for another and after charging to 100% (and playing loud) I found I only got about an hour of play before it shut off due to battery depletion. It just stopped charging and would not stay on for more than a few seconds at a time before shutting down. The first speaker I got died in less than a couple weeks. These do not sound near as well indoors though. The sound is very bass heavy, but outdoors that actually sounds good. Most are simply not loud enough to use in an outdoor party setting. There are very few speakers out there that are this size and power. I really, really wanted to like this speaker. After the week of cabin use, I’ll see how it fares and might even get another! I would definitely recommend this to a friend – solely based on how much my kids are excited about it! I gave it four stars do to the thin metal grille that will likely dent, no WiFi and no way to adjust tone. Also, a tone or equalizer would be awesome too – so you can adjust the bass more, etc. One thing I wish is that there was WiFi capability as well as Bluetooth, it would make the experience that much better. However, I don’t see you hauling this overseas with you as it is so big. The charger that comes with also has 4 international plug adapters – a good feature depending on your use scenario. Pairing was a snap – nobody should have any problems there at all. We’ll see how it fares after a busy week at the cabin. ![]() It has a protective metal mesh screen all around – but it’s pretty thin and I can see that easily denting. Water resistance is a great feature – as the kids plan to use it on the boat over the July 4th holiday. Could probably even be more if the LED buttons on top shut off after 5 min or something. Second, know that the battery life seems great thus far and I don’t think there will be a problem with reaching the posted 8-10 hour play time at all. I attached a picture of it sitting on my son’s dresser. Their initial impression was “WOW” right when it came out of the box and even before we turned it on! Once paired, they were impressed with the sound and also the loudness! I think I’ll bribe them with “speaker time” based on the chores they do! Yes – my 13, 16 and 20-year-old kids are fighting over who gets to use this speaker at home and on the lake.
