I have taken this speaker to work and it stood up to all kinds of cold, ice, snow and dirt and it keeps sounding great! just washed it off in the shower!!! can't wait to see how it holds up on the Kayak this summer!

Look, I’m a bit tech savvy. My Husband however isn’t at all. He loves this speaker for it ease of use and spectacular sound. This speaker lives outside with me wherever I am in the yard.

Best speaker I have ever purchased! Super loud and connects super easy! Definitely recommend this to any of my friends!

This thing is awesome. Sounds as you'd expect from Altec Lansing . It's waterproof. It's got great battery life. You can charge your other devices via USB directly from the speaker. Don't have to worry about your phone dying while you're trying to stream music; just plug it into the speaker. It's Bluetooth has got good range. It's durable. It's the right size. Compared to similar products it's a complete bargain.

the speaker sounds great and is durable but has some flaws. I have repeated connection issues with iPhone. It will pair but iTunes won't given me the speaker as an option. I know that sounds like a phone issue, but it only started after downloading ALTEC's companion app. Since then I have to go to Bluetooth settings and connect to the speaker and then connect to the app. For the price it should be simple, turn speaker on, turn Bluetooth on and enjoy. I have noticed with Android phones it is that simple. Problem 2: battery. The battery life is great but when you use the audible battery feature, it pretty much always says "battery life is 100%" until it dies. Doesn't seem like a huge deal but again, for the price it is annoying!
