Not worth the headache for me
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I bought this speaker the same weekend I bought 2 other altec speakers from other stores, and the whole reason I bought these speakers was to connect them together through the True Pair system... and well long story short it doesn't work. So minus 1 star for that. Loses another star for all 3 speakers having different Bluetooth pairing instructions. Loses another start for having the worlds worst customer service: website is plagued with typos, their app is a waste of space, they have a phone number that doesn't dial, the 24/7 chat service isn't 24/7, and their email link bounces... you know what they lose another star for that. Just don't waste your money and time trying to figure this out. If you just want a rugged speaker then this is it, but don't expect it to pair with other altec speakers

IDK if it's a feature or a bug
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.IDK if it's a feature or a bug, but it shuts down after a while, so I'd have to turn it back on.

Highly disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When i received and used this, the sound quality was less than that of other small, cheap bluetooth speakers I've used/seen. I could have dealt with that, but, aftee using the initial time (for about 15 minutes), after 5 minutes, the maximum volume was cut in half, and it was only at 40% (i fully charged it before using it the second time. Hoping it was a fluke, i charged it again, & the same thing happened after 5 min (max volume cut in half), and this time, it was only at 20%! Every time i turned it on & connected to my phone, phone says battery on speaker is at 100%, then after 5 min of use, it's at less than 50%.

Little Annoying Things
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very light so when the volume is up the speaker will move around your desk. Also, when calls come through, the speaker will ring super loud and there is no way to turn this off!

Portable and Rugged!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I must say it lived up to my expectation, I actually thought being a pocket size Bluetooth speaker will affect the sound rather it has an amazing sound which is quite exciting. Am so loving how portable it is, it’s so easy for me to take it around whether am indoor or outdoor and the carabiner clip that comes with it is quite helpful, I have learnt to use it more after the speaker fell off my hand and straight into the water, thankfully it is waterproof so it still worked very well. The battery life too is impressive , when using it during my outdoor activities it’s 6 hours of battery life was more than enough for me. I must say my experience so far using it has been amazing!
