Misses the mark for the price
Posted .I was very disappointed in the performance of this speaker. Deeper bass is completely lacking and if you try to push up the bass, it starts distorting. For 300 you should expect much better performance than speakers costing half as much. This speaker is easily outperformed by speakers like the JBL charge 3 , Fugoo xl, NYNE bass, and so on. I have a comparrison video on my review of this speaker on amz.

Not worth the $300 price tag
|Posted .I've been using this speaker about 4 weeks and here's what I've noticed so far... Pros -battery life is fantastic! When fully charged this has lasted me 2-3 8hr days at work at a higher volume setting -silicone exterior case does a good job protecting the unit from scratches -the ability of the unit to float is great for out on the water. I've let it drop a few times into the water and it just kept going -Bluetooth range is excellent, at least 100ft Unfortunately that's where the pros end Cons -right out of the box the speaker had a very tinny and crackly sound -volume is not great for a speaker of this weight. (Probably because most of this speaker's weight is in batteries not drivers) - the silicone casing is attached with 8 push pin grommets and I've noticed 4 of the pins have already fallen out - the barrel plug for the charger had to be pulled slightly out of the speaker for it to actually charge - using the 4 buttons on top of the speaker to perform 8+ different tasks depending on how long they are held is not ideal - the unit has the same drivers on both sides which would be good in the center of the room but I find it is usually a waste of battery and sound in many applications as it is usually facing one direction Overall I would not recommend this product especially at $300. It has most of the ruggedness I was looking for but none of the sound quality or volume.

Quality sound in a rugged design.
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendPurchase the original about 11 months ago. Compared to every other speaker available at the time in the showroom floor, to my ears, it had the most accurate sound reproduction, not emphasizing the bass or treble in an effort to move a speaker off the shelf with flash, but rather produce an accurate reproduction of the music (with in reason, given the size of the speaker). That first unit quit charging. Contacted Altec Lansing Support and they shipped me out a replacement unit. Other than the new one being black versus blue in color, the overall support experience went well, and the replacement has been working great. I am a musician and a bit of an audiophile. This is a great unit to listen to. Out does not fatigue, and works well when paired bus Bluetooth to our Amazon Echo, or attached via cable to my Audioquest Dragonfly Red off of phone, tablet or computer.

Decent sound, durable, great for on the go
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendThis is an outstanding speaker for anyone who is constantly outdoors. The durability met my expectations and although the battery life didn't quite meet the description, I loved that I could take this baby by the pool or beach and not have to worry about getting sand or water on or near the speaker. The quality of the sound is decent but after watching a video on YouTube comparing the JBL Xtreme and Altec, I took it back and returned it for the JBL only because I prefer to have a louder sound and deeper bass in my music, something the Altec didn't quite meet my requirements for. The JBL is not waterproof and does not float like the Altec but the bass is both deeper and clearer and has an overall better sound. The JBL also has a strap for carrying it, slightly more light weight and makes sense for at home and at work use. However, I will be returning to Best Buy on Friday to purchase the Altec in preparation for a river trip I'm taking next weekend. This way, I can have the best of both worlds owning both of them. If you're on a budget, what it really comes down to between the two speakers is whether or not you prefer durability over sound and whether or not you prefer more bass or more treble. I suggest doing what I did and looking on YouTube at sound comparisons before purchasing either speaker. Overall would highly recommend to family or friends.

Q: QuestionWe bought the speaker Dec 23 from BestBuy in San Diego (Chula Vista) CA. The on/off button has ceased to turn on the speaker. The blue light flashes for a limited period. I was not able to perform the drain down technique. Common problem?
Asked by BuyinAmericaLiveinBermuda2018.
- A:Answer I had that sane thing happen to me.... in my case, someone had put the rubber casing on backwards so that my power button and volume + were switched. So when I figured that out I held the volume up button down and it turned on. So then I just took the cover off and put it back on the right way. :)
