Altec Lansing - Baby Boom XL IMW270 Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Royal Blue

I received this speaker just over a week ago and have floated it down the river and clipped it on my backpack during the Kids Adventure Games and while mountain biking. It appears to be as everything proof as advertised. It is super tough, has powerful sound and great battery life all packed into a small, slick package. It is now our go-to sound for anything we are doing outdoors.

I love the amazing sound quality of this item, and it’s rugged and durable. It’s so lightweight and the convenience of its small size (plus the fact that it’s waterproof) makes it an outstanding choice for days at the pool! When I first turned it on and pumped up the volume, my husband and I both said, “Whoa!” Because we were both startled by the volume. I highly recommend this product!!!

Having just moved to Florida after spending the first 50+ years of my life in New Jersey and New York, I realized that I need to have some waterproof items. So, to enhance my pool and beach time, I went out looking for some fairly priced Bluetooth speakers. I was looking for portable and lightweight, waterproof and of course with good sound quality and battery life. I did what I usually do and headed out to Best Buy and ended up getting the very economical Altec Lansing Baby Boom XL Portable Bluetooth Speaker. After I was able to figure out the very complicated plastic packaging (punch holes in both sides and press up with two fingers), and get the speaker out, I found paring with my LG Smartphone very easy. The volume controls and Bluetooth button on top serve as dual use purpose. The Bluetooth button is also pause / play or answer a phone call. The volume up/down is also advance or rewind. With a certified IP67 waterproof rating, the Baby Boom XL can handle being brought onto the sand, mud or even tossed into the pool – it will float! Most importantly for me is the sound quality for an ultra lightweight speaker was excellent, with about 6 hours of battery life on a 2-hour charge. It makes this ideal for me to carry in my small laptop bag. It’s now with me wherever I go traveling up and around Florida. This product gets my 4.5/5 star recommendation and I suggest you head out to Best Buy and get yourself an Altec Lansing Baby Boom XL Portable Bluetooth Speaker today. Or buy two units and pair them for true stereo sound!

Music has always been a HUGE part of my life. I am one of those crazy ladies you would see belting out a tune in the car while stopped at a light. I sing as if I am standing before a crowd of thousands, even if I am the only one in the car. With the advancement of technology today, it has come a long way since my Walkman days in the 80’s and I absolutely love it! I love that this tiny power speaker is small enough to carry in my pocket, but loud enough to allow an entire room of people to enjoy the sound.

This speaker is small but mighty! The sound is crisp and clear! And boy does it have some BASS! I love that we can take it anywhere! And by anywhere I mean in the pool and on the go! The kids love that they can rock out with it in the pool! It's easy to operate and has a long battery life! This is a totally awesome speaker for the price and size!

I didn't know what to expect as far as the sound coming from such a compact speaker, but let me tell you - it ROCKS! I've had my Altec Lansing Baby Boom XL for a couple of weeks now and use it almost every day. I use it most often in my workshop but did take it hiking a few times and it did not disappoint. It's easy to connect to your phone or other Bluetooth device and it's even waterproof. No complaints about this speaker - everything I need and more!
