Customers commend the X-Series Rock Portable Bluetooth Speaker for its exceptional sound quality, impressive battery life, and loud volume. Many also appreciate its durable build, water resistance, and convenient features like the USB charging port. While some find the speaker larger than expected, the positive feedback on audio performance and portability outweighs this concern. The speaker's strong bass and Bluetooth range are also frequently praised.
First off let me say WOW this thing can be loud!!! I opened my box and found that it was very well protected in a Styrofoam cocoon. I had to tip box upside down to get it out. So no worries about being damaged during shipping. Once removed I opened the accessories box which includes, Instructions that I found lacking a little but acceptable. They are very basic and would be easier to read if the info came as a booklet form and not a map type folded paper. They do have about 10 languages in the manual. They also have a pass through audio cable, and for the ac adapter, about 5 different plug in styles for standard U.S. plugs as well as euro type plugs. The unit came with about 75% charge. It only took about 15 minutes to finish charging it. The charge is to last up to 10 hrs. There are indicator lights in the plug port (that has a plastic water resistant seal) there is also a USB port for use as a power bank and an audio in and out to connect multiple speakers. Connecting via Bluetooth was a snap, this units is Bluetooth 4.0 compatible and also has NFC for easier connection. The range is about 100 feet. There is a built in Microphone for hands free calling. This speaker is on the large side, great for parties and pool/beach days. It weighs about 12 lbs. and is 21 inches wide. The sound from this unit is very impressive. With the built in Amp there is a good mix of high tones, mid tones and Bass that you can feel the beat. To get the best sound out of it make sure it is on a flat hard surface, as I first played it on my carpeted floor, It sounded muffled until I put it up on the table and then I was blown away. It was loud enough without distortion that my dog ran from the room. The carrying handle in the back is very nice and it is hidden, you can just pick it up and go. Although this is slightly water and dust resistant it is not water proof. If caught out in the rain, you do have a little time to get it under cover without worry. I have many Bluetooth speakers and so far this one sound all around the best. I would not hesitate to recommend this unit to my friends or family.

Well – the title says it all. Yes – my 13, 16 and 20-year-old kids are fighting over who gets to use this speaker at home and on the lake. Their initial impression was “WOW” right when it came out of the box and even before we turned it on! Once paired, they were impressed with the sound and also the loudness! I think I’ll bribe them with “speaker time” based on the chores they do! OK – for the details. First know this thing is Big. I attached a picture of it sitting on my son’s dresser. It takes up the entire top. Second, know that the battery life seems great thus far and I don’t think there will be a problem with reaching the posted 8-10 hour play time at all. Could probably even be more if the LED buttons on top shut off after 5 min or something. Water resistance is a great feature – as the kids plan to use it on the boat over the July 4th holiday. It has a protective metal mesh screen all around – but it’s pretty thin and I can see that easily denting. We’ll see how it fares after a busy week at the cabin. Pairing was a snap – nobody should have any problems there at all. The charger that comes with also has 4 international plug adapters – a good feature depending on your use scenario. However, I don’t see you hauling this overseas with you as it is so big. One thing I wish is that there was WiFi capability as well as Bluetooth, it would make the experience that much better. Also, a tone or equalizer would be awesome too – so you can adjust the bass more, etc. Overall – very impressed. I gave it four stars do to the thin metal grille that will likely dent, no WiFi and no way to adjust tone. After the week of cabin use, I’ll see how it fares and might even get another! I would definitely recommend this to a friend – solely based on how much my kids are excited about it!

This is a fantastic speaker for outdoor use. One of the big problems with your typical smaller Bluetooth speaker is that it can't get loud enough in an outdoor setting with many people around. That is definitely not a problem with the Nyne Rock speaker. What I like: 1. Slick Rugged Design - really is what a boombox designed for the year 2017 should look like. Has a substantial weight, but can still be lifted with one hand using the hidden handle in the back of the unit. Does not feel like it is something that can be easily broken with the rubberized frame. Also, the water resistant IPX3 rating means you don't need to worry about incidental exposure to water from light rain or spills/splashes. All the connections are hidden behind a panel at the back, which keeps the overall look very clean when you are using it wirelessly. 2. Sound - Is great, only get slightly distorted at max volume, but max volume is so loud I would never use it anyways. Good bass and clarity. But the real highlight for this speaker above all others is volume. No other Bluetooth speaker I have tried comes close. 3. Bluetooth connectivity is as simple as it can be, automatically goes into pairing mode when turned on, and you just need to select the device from your phone or tablet and you're done. 4. Battery life of 10 hours - I haven't tested this myself, but if it can last close to this long with the amount of power it is able to put out, that is very good. You can definitely find smaller speakers that can last longer, but with 65W of power, you can't really beat this. I can't really think of anything that I don't like about this speaker. If you are using as intended, to fill an outdoor space with music, you won't be disappointed. It is a very big speaker, much bigger than I expected, but once you hear how loud it can go, you understand why it is so big.
