While some find it a bit heavy or expensive, the positive feedback on audio performance and resilience outweighs these concerns.

    We used this speaker on our hot tub once the hot speaker stopped working for the 3rd time. Just used it to put up Christmas Lights, loud enough for all the neighbors to enjoy the Christmas Music. It's a must if you are doing anything outdoors.

    Good buy. 50 hrs of battery life is accurate. Good looking, nice design. Various input ports for those who can't use Bluetooth or have older audio products that need a input cable.

    Bought this for a Christmas present for my husband to pair with another Boom Jacket2 speaker. We use these at the pool and beach to listen to music that is blue- toothed from my ipad. Truly a waterproof speaker that floats.

    This unit provides good sound, however, the linking as advertised to other Boom Jackets flat out does not work. It will sync then drop the connection within a couple of minutes, even when sitting next to each other!!. No help from Altec Lansing when contacting support.

    The speaker has all the features. Long battery life, microphone for hands free speaking and the ability to charge other devices via usb. Sent mine off to ALTEC tho as the highs produced a crackling, static like sound. Hopefully it was just a defect on my speaker.

    We haven't had this for very long, but it is very nice. I link my phone to it while in the garden or out by the pool and it has very clear robust sound. The charge port is handy as well, with recharging my phone.

    This had been a great Bluetooth speaker that we have used around the pool and to bring to the beach. Excellent sound and my daughter was able to connect it to her iphone in about 2 seconds. It was on sale for a great deal.

    Not a lot of depth to the sound of this speaker but I mainly use it with a blue tooth adapter from my TV so I can hear it from across the room without blasting it so my son doesn't hear it when he is sleeping. Very durable, great battery life and super easy to use

    The sound quality is great. I bought as a x-mas gift for my wife. Now she did complain about some disconnect. But it could be the blue tooth connection. Also the charge cord is short. Hope it could be longer.

    I was hoping this would be an upgrade over my JBL charge 2. But its not. Still a decent speaker. However the sound does get distorted at times. I used it and my JBL inside my jeep. JBL sounds better inside the vehicle. The Boom Jacket sounds better is bigger open spaces.

    I bought this for my stepfather to keep in his garage while he’s working on motorcycles. It’s heavy duty and has good range from his iPad in the house to the detached garage. The sound is good, sounds a bit tinny. But overall fits for our purposes.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
