I got one of these in my last BoC and I’m pretty impressed with it. The audio quality is much better than the one on the iPad and even has a decent amount of bass for a relatively small speaker. My only small complaint about it is that sometimes I accidentally change the track instead of the volume since the same button does multiple things depending on how long you press.
I bought one last time they were on here. It works great. during the summer I had it out on my Jetski and it handle the shock and bouncing just fine. it also got wet and had no problems. now I have it in my shower where it gets soaked everyday and it still works great. I actually haven’t charged it since august and I use it in the shower every day (about 10 minutes minimum)
Love this speaker. It hangs permanently in my shower and is used daily. Decent sound and good battery life (recharge about once every two weeks, average 2 hours/day). Range isn’t that great in my experience, but that isn’t a big deal for me since my phone is usually stationary on the bathroom counter. Appreciate the dedicated skip fwd/backward buttons.
I agree with the above comments. sounds great at moderate volume. battery life is very good. would appreciate separate buttons for volume and next track. seems that many of these inexpensive bluetooth speakers use the same bluetooth module. (i have 2 others that function the same way)
Yeah I’m not sure how sound would get through very well if it was completely waterproof. Clearly it’s only splashproof. I would think completely waterproof speakers would be an impossibility.
Also the pyleaudio.com product website linked above confirms it’s only splashproof.
I bought this speaker and it was very meh. I also have an Axion BT speaker that is $29 on Amazon which sounds much better and a Soundfreaq Sound Kick that I got on sale at Target for $79 which sounds much much better. Granted, neither of these are splash or waterproof, but the sound is what’s important to me. My go-to waterproof speaker is a Grace Digital Eco Extreme which is actually a case with a built in speaker. It’s great because it also keeps your phone dry, but you lose access to the controls so random playback or play lists are what you’re stuck with. Anyway, this speaker is okay, but there are much better options to spend your money on.
I have been using this speaker for months. I REALLY love it. Sounds pretty great
It has been dropped in a bathtub full of water, fully submerged, with zero incident. I am not sure if you should hold under water for long periods of time, or why you would want to, but we use it in the shower all the time.
I did some reading about this cool looking speaker and this is my synopsis. Numerous reviews including ilounge, Amazon and others indicate the con’s as: Bluetooth distance less than advertised, audio distortion at high volume (though most seemed to feel the audio quality, incl.bass, was good at less than max volume), poor quality buttons that didn’t fit well into the cutouts for them - and they often accidentally changed/skipped tracks because some buttons perform different functions based on length of press and they would inadvertently press too long, and many who decided to do a quick ‘dunk’ test but quickly wished they had not. However most felt that it was a good value if it could be purchased at a reasonably low price, like $39.99.
Yeah, this definitely isn’t the best speaker, and I just can’t recommend it. The range isn’t very good (I get popping even at >5 feet). The speakers also can’t handle highs/lows very well at all, tones get merged together, and overall quality is subpar.
It is waterproof though (although I can’t find any documentation about how good it is), and for the most part it does work well in a shower setting.
