Ion Audio - Road Rocker Bluetooth Speaker System for Apple® iPod® touch, iPad® and iPhone®

This ION Road Rocker is a decent size, easy to take around with you at the pool, around the house, in the back yard, in the car... etc. The sound is loud enough to hear from far away even outside. It has very good sound, but not audiophile quality. However, I was a little disappointed with the bass response. I was expecting a little more since its in a larger box shape. Behind the sturdy black mesh grille is a 3.5 inch woofer, a 1 inch tweeter and 3/4 inch bass port. With my phone paired, I can crank the volume up to about the 7th mark before it starts getting distorted. So if you have a quiet song you should be able to crank it all the way up without distortion. The PA function kind of sucks. If you want to hear yourself talk or sing, you have to crank up the mic volume and lower the main volume as whatever is playing on the main volume will over-power the mic. The USB charging port on top next to the dock only works when the charger is plugged into the Road Rocker. You cannot use the main battery to charge your device. The dock is kind of narrow, so if you have a bulky phone + case it may have a hard time sitting in there. The shiny corner protectors are a nice feature to protect from bumping while carrying it around. On the back of the box are 3 green LED lights that tell you the charge level of the battery. I ran this box continuously for at least 10 hours before the first LED light turned off. Don't let the battery run to nothing, make sure you charge it as it says after each long use. The bluetooth range is about 20-30 feet depending if you have walls in the way of the speaker and your playing device. I use this thing almost every day and I'm very pleased with it. For the price and features it has you can't beat this Road Rocker.

loved this item, price was incredible and so convient to travel with.its like a mobile party you control.

Saw it for cheap. Been eyeing an outdoor/portable/bluetooth speaker for awhile. The higher end one had a radio on it, but I figured that I could use an app instead. Got it and was very excited...until I turned it up past the 4th notch....and the distortion began. It wasn't even at LOUD yet. Changed the setting on my phone to help. They didn't. Contacted company. Have not heard back from them. I don't recommend...unless I have a defective one and if this isn't normal, then I would...it's got a lot of fun features.

I purchased this audio to use in Physical Education classes outside. Design is great and not many buttons or controls makes it simple and easy to operate. It is not going to do the job, simply because the sound is distorted bad at higher volume. If listening on volume 3-4, the sound is OK. With the increase of the volume, somewhere at level 5-6, the base sounds terrible. Playing audio with no base was fine on higher volume. I'd like to have the same system with quality speakers, that can handle the volume coming from the amp.
