Teenage present
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my son's birthday. Seemed to get good reviews. After he opened he said it wasn't that loud. and he was correct. Took it back and purchased a sony. The sony, in our opinion was a lot louder.

Not a bad little box
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used this while at the beach a couple of weeks ago. It was great for me to listen to in the little area I wanted. If someone showed up with something a little bigger I could not hear mine. It could stand more bass also. All in all, I was happy with it.

Not loud enough
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought for my dad as a gift. Thought he'd like the durability and design. He returned it, as he wanted something that would fill the room with music. This did not accomplish that.

Compact speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this speaker with its included mount, while riding my motorcycle. The only complaint I have is that after speeds over 45 miles an hour it is difficult to hear good sound even if not wearing a helmet.

Eh speaker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a decent speaker, for some reason it turns down when a certain volume comes up. Ex: phone is at max volume and the bass drop, the volume does a little too. It delays at start. Otherwise pretty good

Indifferent Option
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this speaker as a gift for my father-in-law. I felt the speakers cracked a little bit and while it did float, the speaker completely submerges so you can't hear anything while it's in the water.

Garbage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my husband for Christmas. The speaker lasted about a month before it took a dump. I returned it for another one, ya know what the h-e double hockey sticks. That one broke so I returned the new one. I got a JBL and its lasted longer than these two combined. They sounded okay when they worked which is the only plus.

Mediocre speaker for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this while on sale and did my research after I got home. The reviews on sound quality were only average, so I decided to exchange it for a UE Boom 2 (on sale).

Top-notch Bluetooth speaker
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second Altec Lansing product, an upgrade from the Mini Life Jacket, which is great for its size. The 50-hour battery life sold me on the BoomJacket II. I have yet to run it down with daily use. Really sweet sound, with a noticeable improvement in bass response over the original BoomJacket released more than a year ago. And this model is powerful. I paired it with my phone, cued up some Zeppelin and goosed the volume higher and higher and higher until I was laughing in delight. No clipping, no distortion, just a fine, clean sound. This speaker can knock monkeys out of trees. Definitely going to the beach with me. I also like the rugged design. Unlike a lot of Bluetooth speakers, this one doesn't look or feel dainty. It also has a pairing feature that lets you connect two BoomJackets for those times when you really want to make a racket -- and why wouldn't you?
