The Altec Lansing - Baby Boom XL Portable Bluetooth Speaker is the perfect portable speaker for when you're on the go! Whether hiking, building sand castles, or laying by the pool, this small speaker that fits in my bag is packed with power.
I get incredible sound for a solid 6 hours and it has a 30 foot wireless range so to amplify sound, you can pair two Baby Boom XLs. It's also rugged enough to handle sand or mud or water. It has a certified IP67 waterproof rating pool which means this little powerhouse can even go into the water because it FLOATS!
Check out Altec Lansing Baby Boom XL Portable Bluetooth Speaker and have your on the go music needs fulfilled!

This speaker is very useful because I work in construction. I do not need to worry about it getting dirt. Beside the fact that this is very cheap I bought the insurance that would replace it anytime it stops working. The sound of this is good, it is easy to put anywhere since of the compact design. I hang this in my bag easily or place it in my pants while I'm working and it doesn't give me any hard time.

I’ve been very impressed with the sound this speaker makes. For one so small it makes good volume. It’s very compact and portable. My one complaint, is that when it first comes on, the volume is very loud and I have to immediately turn it down. Don’t know why it does this, nor do I see a way to adjust it. Other than that, I have been very pleased, especially with the sale price.

Loud for its size and still maintains good sound with decent base and quality. It syncs up well with my device everytime. I use it in the shower and it's gotten soaked and dropped a few times with no issues to function or sound quality.
The only issue I had was the small ring for the included carabiner broke easily from a drop, but I dont really use it.

This little speaker puts out pretty good sound for such a small device. As expected, it sounds a little tinny when it gets too loud, but it works great for our purpose. We primarily use it for a joke track (RiffTrax) that plays simultaneously with a movie. It's super easy to connect to the phone and the charge lasts a long time. Don't expect thumping bass, but it can definitely go loud enough to be heard throughout a large room.

This is a pretty cool speaker. The sound is certainly not the same dynamic range that earbuds can provide, but its loud and great for sitting outside on a table and not worrying about it falling off the table or getting wet. It sounds fairly good for the size, which is quite small. I am sure the next size up has fuller sound because the size will allow for a bigger woofer, but for the price of $30 this is good for music near the pool, etc.

I love my purchase. This is the second speaker I have bought to be able to pair with my first speaker, for two speakers connected together to one device. Great sound quality. Perfect size too. Have taken them to pool and beach, easily tucks in bag with being bulky. Long lasting rechargeable battery!

Ended up going with this after the first speaker I bought for my fiancé quit in its third month. He uses it to listen to podcasts while showering, but I think it would also be great for the backyard or beach. The charge lasts a good amount of time, as he only uses it for hour-long increments. Good sound, and pairs easily with his phone.

I love this little bluetooth speaker. It packs a huge punch flfor being so little. This cute little baby boom speaker definately lives up to its name. It has plenty of bass and is compact enough to clip to your purse or belt loop. I bought one for my best friend and he loves it also.

For the price, this little speaker does more than I was expecting. The connectivity, battery life, and sound quality are better than I was expecting, and while the volume curve is somewhat strange, it's still a good device. The water resistance and included clip are also a major pluses, making it a good product for people on-the-go!

This little speaker has pretty great sound, a lot of bass, and can usually last me all day at work (about 6 hours). I kind of don't feel like it charges as well as the old baby boom did and it only has the red light as indicator for the battery being low/showing its charging. Really don't like that it doesn't illuminate with a blue indicator light to show full charge.

I'm always on the move so this speaker is perfect for me. I like very much that you can pair two Baby Boom XLs speakers for an amplified sound via True Wireless Pairing and get double the volume! The Baby Boom XL is filled with so many amazing features to make the most of your listening experience!

I got this looking for a waterproof shower speaker that I could also use around the house, and it fulfilled that role amazingly. It's not the loudest or deepest sounding speaker but for the most part its doing its job as a little, portable, pocketable speaker that can be tossed around all day without a scratch.

It was difficult to sync two Baby Boom XL's together. I watched a couple of Youtube videos, and read the instructions but couldn't get my two Baby Boom XL's to link. I ended up doing a live chat with Best Buy, and after 45 minutes I was able to sync both speakers. Now that I know how to sync them, it's very easy to do. If you have this same issue, just contact the live chat on Best Best, and they can walk you through it. The sound is awesome, very compact, and it includes a clip!
My other issue with the speakers are they lasted for only about 5 hours. I have a couple of other blue tooth speakers, and by far these last the least amount of time out of all of them. However, it's easy to overlook this with the amazing sound these super compact speakers deliver!
I'm really impressed and happy that I purchased two speakers. Great sound alone, and when synced with another one it's great surround sound. Perfect for any activity where you would like music added; walking your dog, riding a bike, hiking, camping, at the beach. We actually plan on using both speakers to put in our little RV.
Good speakers.

This small bluetooth speaker has a remarkably good sound for such a modest size. It has connected easily with both my android cell phone and my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (tablet computer). The battery goes quite a number of hours between charges. A very impressive product.

This speaker is very cool. Sound is great, even does ok with low end despite its size. Set up is a busy. Once paired with your phone or tablet, just turn ut on and it's ready to go. Battery life is long.

I bought this speaker for use in my apartment. I stream music all day long since I started working from home due to quarantine. Great volume, full sound. Holds its charge close to 8 hours and recharges in maybe 30 mins, max. Great value for the quality.
