BRAVEN - BRV-X Outdoor Speaker - Black

I was mainly looking for a mid-sized wireless speaker for my fishing boat. It turned out to be better than I thought. It is heavy enough to set in one place on the center console of my boat without bouncing all around. Weatherproof with no distortion and an awesome sound.

Shock, water resistant/proof , and wireless! What more can you ask for? Has a great sound quality even if you put up at max volume! Also it has a switch that can convert the sound for wide range. It takes out the bass to it but its still pretty awesome!

I love this speaker!! Small in size and big on sound. I've gotten about 8 hours out of the battery. Connects to phone without a problem. Plays plenty loud with more bass than I expected from a small speaker.

Excellent sound, in special if you use it in your backyard or exterior. Long battery life (more than 10 hrs. continuous.

Well, this is an armored marvel. I'm a Plumber and handyman. I take it with me everywhere I go. You can wash it off with a waterhose if need be. Sounds great, and is certainly loud enough for a jobsite. Great battery life. I recharge it at night while I sleep. Due to the huge battery, you have to use the special charger. A usb charger would take 18-24 hours, so that's just the way it is. Thing is, I can treat it like any other tool. I just throw it into my tool bucket. I'm not aware of another bluetooth speaker that would survive what I do to this beast. Are there better sounding speakers out there? No doubt about it. But they have to stay up on the porch.....because it's just to dangerous out there. I use it for movies and such on my Galaxy S tablet. Just remember to twist the back cap on tight. That protects everything. Fact is, you could use this thing for self defense.....not really kidding. It's real solid, and salespeople throw them on the floor while playing.

Firstly, I love the way this sounds. For a portable speaker of its size and price, it probably has the best sound quality I've heard. Secondly, this speaker is fantastic to use if you have a newer Android phone. The NFC pad greatly simplifies the pairing process, since I didn't even have to go into settings. I just placed my phone on the back of the speaker, heard two beeps, and started streaming my music. I also love that the speakers can be paired together to work like a Sonos system (but waterproof!). The USB port for charging is a nice touch, but it doesn't provide enough power to actually charge my LG G2. It only provides 1 amp, where most newer phones (with screens above 5") need around 2 amps to charge properly. If I could add one thing, it would be a DC charger, since this is mostly being used on a boat. That doesn't count against my impressions of the speaker, but it'd be nice to have.

I was shopping for a new Bluetooth speaker to replace a cheep one I had. I was leaning towards a well known brand, mainly because of the name. The sales lady had me convinced to buy that brand of speaker, then my wife suggested I look at this brand. This speaker system fit more to my style. It is more rugged, and moisture proof, and somewhat water resistant if used properly. It has very impressive sound, and has the ability to switch between inside and outside sound. The outside sound has more of the higher tones to make it better sounding. I took it on a canoe trip, and never worried about it, and the sound was awesome. I actually had to keep the sound turned down, so as not to disturb people, and wild life on the shore.

This speaker won't blow you away by any means, but it definitely puts out some sound. I have attached this speaker to the fairing on my motorcycle and can hear it pretty well going 45-55 mph(On the outdoor setting. There is an indoor setting for a clear and crisp sound, and an outdoor setting for less quality sound but much louder). But when I'm done on the motorcycle I can take it right off, and use it as a speaker while I'm taking a shower, getting ready for work, smaller parties, or sitting around a camp fire. It's somewhat pricey around $200ish, but looking at other speakers of this size, I don't think you'll find near as much sound. So short story short, you could find larger speakers at around the same price with somewhat louder sound, but if your looking for a smaller, versatile, and more durable speaker that has a clear and crisp sound, you can't go wrong here. 4 stars.
