It’s even got a loop to add a cord to put it in the shower for these who want some music to sing to & keep their phone safe.

I got one of these a few woots ago. It won’t rattle the foundation by any means, but for a wireless, rechargeable, portable setup, it definitely does the trick. It will cover a back yard bbq or private beach/boat party, but that’s about the range. With a direct line of sight, the bluetooth will go a good 15-20 feet. With walls in the way, significantly less. Have not tested the waterproofness of it, but on the site they show it fully submerged, FWIW. For $40, you can’t go wrong. I may grab another as a gift.

I purchased one of these during the last offering and it’s defective. I can’t seem to get any answers and they were notified prior to the 21 days.

Be careful with this purchase!

I have one of these and use it all the time. I use it in the shower and haven’t had any problems with it yet. The range stinks for the bluetooth and the outer metal sometimes rusts (which rubs away) but so far so good. Bluetooth controls work properly with the iphone 4, 5 and 5s.

For a cheap waterproof bluetooth speaker I say grab it.

Woot Member Services contacted Pyle Support in regards to your email inquiry. If they haven’t contacted you via email/phone, please write in again at support@woot.com and let them know. They’ll be more than happy to help find a solution.

I really like the picture of the guy at work with his Pyle speaker… while he is grinding metal and has safety earmuffs on. Yes, he must really be rocking out.

I’ll repost what I’ve shared previously about this device (slightly edited to remove a reference to another post and keep this one up-to-date):

@atomizer

I bought one of these in October, I’ve been using it every day since, and I generally like it. It sounds good (particularly in the shower), has long battery life (I recharge it once a week and it has never died on me), and sufficient range (the audio player I use is in the next room, not too far away but I’ve never had any connection issues). Mostly, the fact that it’s water-resistant and can be controlled in the shower (changing volume & skipping tracks) are what sold it for me.

The odd things are the speaker positions and the controls; this device is oddly constructed with regards to the orientation of those two things. With the device standing/hanging and the buttons facing you, there are two powered drivers on the left side and two passive radiators on the right. The arrangement of the speakers mean that it’s possible to have them or the controls facing away from the user, which is inconvenient at the very least. If I hung it at the opposite end of the shower rod that would either put the controls away from me where I couldn’t reach them, or the speakers against the wall, muffling the audio output. This (and the controls) limits the convenience & usability of the device.

Regarding the controls, there are three buttons (power, back/down, forward/up) and the charging port. These 4 objects should really be reversed, because when the unit is hanging/standing the down button is on top and vice-versa. Look at any remote control in your house: if you want to lower the volume, do you press the button on top? Nope, but on this device that’s how it works! And imagine skipping to the next station/channel by pressing the button on the left! It works, technically, but is counter-intuitive.

Finally, the worst thing about the controls, and this unit, are that the forward/back buttons are dual-function; one button controls both volume and track skipping. It’s nice to be able to skip tracks remotely but the buttons should really be separate. On this device a tap/short press controls tracks, and a hold/long press controls volume. The problem is that a hold will often be interpreted as a tap, so an attempt to adjust volume in the middle of a track will often skip to the beginning or next track. This is even after you’ve held the button and clearly hear the volume adjustment; the device does both functions with the single activation of one of the buttons. This is why they really should’ve added two extra buttons and separated the controls. Plus, having volume control attached to the “hold” input is imprecise, and often you overshoot the desired volume and have to use the opposite button to readjust, which increases the likelihood of inadvertently skipping tracks.

I have another Bluetooth speaker from Woot (by “Braven”) that is actually very similar in functionality: two active drivers, two passive drivers, a pair of dual-function buttons. However, the controls on the buttons are reversed compared to the Pyle: you tap to adjust volume in steps, and hold to skip tracks. This is how it should work, and it does indeed work perfectly.

I like both units, and am going to continue using the Pyle one because it’s the only such device I have that’s shower-safe, but I will never be happy about the control configuration of this thing.

I bought this speaker last August when woot had it. Used it on my Kayak under the bungee cord, flipped my kayak and soaked this thing…it continue to work after this soaking. And battery life is great, got about 8 hours of music from it while kayaking the whole day!

[govtdonkey]

Bought one of these and it didn’t come with the charging cable. Contacted woot support twice with no help. Not sure I would buy from here again. Customer service stinks.

[wootley1]

Got one for my son for Xmas. Smaller than it looks in the photos. Very heavy, apparently quite a bit of battery packed in there. Very good sound even though he has horrid taste in music.

In short, a good Woot so far. He did like it right off. Best speaker of it’s type that I’ve seen or heard.

I’m sure it will go most everywhere with him.

I bought one of these speakers last time they were offered by woot. I’ve had no problems with mine. I use mine in various rooms in the house as well as in the garage while working. I haven’t tried mine in the shower (literally) where it would be subject to water splashes, but I may set it nearby on the sink top.

This would be a real steal if the price was $10 less @ $29, then I’d probably buy 3 more.

[Linuxbaby03]

I’ve got one of these, and please don’t waste the money on it like I did. It doesn’t seem like that much, and I saw that there were mixed reviews on it, and figured I might get a good one. It is an utter piece of garbage. The range problems are exceedingly difficult to address, by the time I got the phone in range of the shower I could’ve used the built in speaker just as well. Battery doesn’t last at all either. Go google for another water resistant speaker, any speaker, just not this one.

Sorry for the problems. Have you contacted Pyle customer support. They should have the cable to send you. We won’t have the part.

I picked up one of these last year on Sellout Woot for the same price. I use it outdoors on my golf cart and by the fire pit. It’s been left out in the rain and still works fine. The battery will last long per charge. As others have said; the sound is decent … not amazing but sufficient for most needs. I have minor issues with the range … it will start to cut out when it gets about 10 or 12 feet away from the source. For what I use it for and for the price; I like it.

[rhinoceros1]

I got this as well a few weeks back on woot. Same model and same price. The manual says it takes about three hours to charge and you get an average of about 6 hours of play time. However, I just took this speaker camping and it lasted way longer. I had it basically maxed for 4 hours that night. Then I took it into my tent and put it on low volume. It lasted all night. Then we hiked out with it playing at about medium volume and it lasted the whole three hour hike. Then I just stop playing music through it and let it sit on the seat still powered on. It still had juice after the three hour car ride. This speaker just rocks. One thing to note, it only comes up with a usb cable to charge, no actual 110v plug for the usb to connect to, so you’ll have to charge it through your PC. Or already have a same voltage usb 110v plug adapter laying around.

Got my last time for patio and shower duty. Great in the shower. I have not even turned it up all the way. Loud enough for me. No problems or complaints so far.
