Customers frequently mention the Boom Jacket 2's excellent sound quality, durable build, and long battery life as significant advantages. Many appreciate its waterproof design and convenient size. While some find it a bit heavy or expensive, the positive feedback on audio performance and resilience outweighs these concerns. The speaker's Bluetooth connectivity is also praised for its reliability.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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?

    Sound wasn’t too bad but the charging port wouldn’t make a good connection it was a pain to get the cord to stay connected.
