Insignia™ - Rugged Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Black

Very compact, great audio, but battery does not last as long as I would like and a very short charging cable. Bluetooth sync sometime difficult on a fast Window 10 PC.

This is perfect speaker while I am at work listening to Pandora

This is the same company that made my DVD Player, and they fail to disappoint

This thing really puts out some good sound. Especially for the money. I got it on sale for half price @ $9.99. It has plenty of highs, mid range and bass. And it’s water resistant too. Nice to carry in a backpack for when you need it or even just leave it in the shower or on the back yard patio. I might go buy a few more at that price!

Bottom Line Up Front - This is a perfectly acceptable small water resistant bluetooth speaker at a relatively attractive price (less than $10). The main deficiency is the apparent lack of any button or control to change music tracks on your phone using the speaker. The speaker comes with a rubberized exterior including speaker controls that seem to be splash resistant as advertised. I bought it for my daughter who wanted to use it to listen to music she stores on her phone while showering. Remaining comments are hers. The speaker has adequate volume and sound quality for its size and has so far worked well when placed in the shower and does not seem to be affected by humidity. The speaker has an attached strap which would be useful to hang the speaker from the shower spout. Unfortunately, the strap is so long that the speaker would be directly under the shower water spray if hung from the shower head. Instead I placed it toward the back of the shower. So far, it seems to work well in that position despite occasionally getting splashed with relatively small amounts of water. The speaker does have up/down volume control buttons. However, there is a quite dramatic change in volume (up or down) even with one button press so it is better to set the volume with your phone’s controls before showering. There is a very loud piercing beep whenever the speaker connects via bluetooth to your phone and/or when the volume control on the speaker has been advanced to maximum. While I appreciate the notification, I wish they hadn’t made the beep so loud and piercing. I also wish they had placed the phone button somewhere else on the speaker other then between the volume buttons. Since the buttons are small and hard to see due to the lack of contrast between the color of the buttons and the speaker, accidental phoning is very possible. I feel a better design solution would have been to locate that button somewhere away from the volume controls. I have not found a way to switch back and forth between music tracks through the speaker, a feature I wish it had. I feel this is the main deficiency with the speaker Overall, a decent speaker, particularly for the current price. As indicated above, the one thing the speaker seems to lack is any apparent control to switch between tracks through the speaker. It is quite frustrating not being able to do that when in the shower.

I have been buying Insignia products here for a while, I own an Insignia version of an instant pot, their 2.1 soundbar + subwoofer combo, two pairs of Bluetooth headphones, etc. The products themselves are always decent, actually pushing the boundaries of price to value. This little badboy is no exception. It's ridiculously easy to set up, has decent battery life and it sounds good. Like legit, I bring it to work to put on music for everyone and they're impressed with the quality, doubly so because of the price I paid for it. The thing is small, square and cool looking. That is part of the appeal though, it's small size. It easily fits in your pockets, meaning you can easily transport it to and from anywhere. The speaker actually sounds as good as others that cost six times as much and it's pretty loud too considering how small it is. Legit, the thing cranks and there's no distortion or hissing that I can detect from it. I can live without being able to skip tracks from the speaker, considering I am mostly streaming the music from my phone, this doesn't bother me but I can see where others would consider it a detriment. All things considered though, this is such an awesome speaker and an amazing bang for the buck. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a good sounding, solidly designed, Bluetooth speaker on the cheap and I can say this without hesitation. You will get what you paid for and then some. Make great gifts too.

This little speaker is really good for the size. I use in an old vehicle without a radio or speakers and it has a good sound.

I got this on Sale and my friends bought them too. I got 7 insignia brands including TV, cd player, fryer etc and they are reliable, durable and offorable quality products. I stronly recommend this brand and product.
