Customers highly value the Boom Jacket Bluetooth Speaker's sound quality, battery life, and durability. Many also appreciate its waterproof design and convenient size. While some find the bass lacking and the weight a bit substantial, the positive feedback on other features outweighs these concerns.

    I got this for my wife as a present, and it couldn't have been a better gift. She turned it on, paired her iPhone, cranked up the jams, and just brought it with her every time she went inside or outside the house. It's got super volume and sounds awesome, so she didn't even have to take it with her from room to room. She accidentally left it outside in the yard after doing some gardening, and when we got it the next morning after an evening of downpours, she just turned it on and it worked perfectly. Thank goodness she didn't leave the phone outside. She gets plenty of range out of it too. Outstanding product! I'd give it six stars if it didn't force me to listen to wifey's music all day.

    I was looking for a speaker that had a good battery and wouldn't die out after only 40 minutes of use and I found it with this one. I specially like to ride my bicycle and this one has a cycle mount that I didn't even know came with it at the time of purchase. So you can only imagine how excited I was to realize it came with one. Because that's mainly what I would be using it for, when I'm out riding my bicycle. Plus it's not safe using headphones when you're riding a bicycle.

    Sounds good enough for a Bluetooth speaker, charges your phone, and last up to 40 hours per charge. This is probably the best waterproof speaker on the market today. I picked it up while on sale for $99. Great value!!

    This well-made speaker has a very solid and nice design, very cool features and good sound quality too. The only thing I'm not 100% happy with this product is the battery. I can only get 20 or 25 hours of music instead of the 40 hours they say. But it's not the big thing, at least for me. I use this product every day since I bought it (like a month now). I must say that I´m not very careful with this speaker, even I have taken this speaker to the beach (twice) and still looks like new and no problems so far. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

    I have been waiting for a speaker of some sort to come out that's durable and can be put through the activities that I like to do. I have already taken it to the beach and out on a boat to go fishing and it works great. The sound is even better than what I thought it was going to be. I wasn't looking for something for necessarily sound quality, just something loud and clear enough that's waterproof, sand proof, and durable. I'm always outdoors and doing things that your average speaker wouldn't go through. That's why I got this speaker, and I would definitely recommend it. The battery life is really good, and it has more things and features than you would think (Bluetooth, answering/hanging up phone calls, and more).

    This is a very nice Bluetooth speaker. Durable, waterproof, NFC capable as well as being a battery to charge other devices. Overall it is an excellent speaker. The only flaws I found is after removing all the padding it's kinda brittle and light. The other issue is sound. The speaker is loud but if you are trying to pump music for a group of friends you might find it lacking.

    Great set of speakers. Got this randomly one day. It's nice and loud. Decently high treble and mid. Only downside I see is that there is no bass. Great battery life. I've charged it maybe three times in the last month. Water resistant like it says - have used it in the shower. Have not tried dropping it yet haha. Overall I think it's great but wish it had some bass.

    This speaker syncs with my phone easily. The music sound has full range of tweets and base. Waterproof? That is the best on the boat and at the beach! And it really does play for over 40 hours on one battery charge. My phone wont keep up with that battery life. I had to have others play their music to keep up the party. Love my speaker.

    I bought this bad boy on sale for 130. I couldn't be happier. After seeing some negative reviews I got a 2 year warranty. the first day I did have trouble getting it to charge, but I retried and it worked fine. I took this speaker to Wisconsin in the harsh winter on a lake house. Every night once we stumbled in, the speaker cover would be filled with snow and would melt out overnight. The thing is really indestructible. We would long toss the speaker on the ice, and it would just bounce and continue playing. The speaker volume is great for being waterproof! I am very happy I bought this speaker and would recommend it for outdoorsmen, or college kids who need speakers at a party(due to it being waterproof) Also, the battery level is Nice, it says forty hours, but I do not think you will go near that, especially if you are using Bluetooth, and the power bank charger.

    Small size, big sound. The battery lasts a very long time. The bass is lacking, but I still think it sounds great. Over wifi and Sprints new unlimited plans, the music from Pandora and Youtube sounds really good, especially on the vacations we took this year. As a plus the boom jacket even has hookups to attach to the rack of a 4-wheeler. But I didn't get to try it out due to Sprint not having any data where I was riding. Its rugged, waterproof, beach proof, life proof. Excellent product, now if only everyone in my family liked Alice N Chains, or Tool, I would be happy.

    Sound: great....... Alto it seems to go up and down like some things are really loud and some are particularly quite. Durability: excellent so far taken a couple of good drops and haven't dun nothing to it, says you can take it swimming and it will float, kinda skeptical of that but with a three year warranty I'm willing to try it out in the summer time. Down sides: no radio meaning I wish it had normal radio option along side all the rest if the awesome features. Better mounting place for tying lanyards cause I carry it everywhere and I usually have it round my neck. I had to go to hardware store to get an eye to tie to.

    I own one of these and bought another one 6 months later for my in-laws to use at their pool at home. Also bought the smaller version for my nephew. This speaker is perfect for the pool or when we go tubing. The battery can last a really long time, it can easily handle an all day use. The speaker sounds good. Nice and clear with no distortion, has a decent amount of bass. You can't adjust the treble or bass on this unit, but I don't consider that a downfall. It's pretty durable. Ive dropped it on cement, in sand, and in mud and it's held up fine. Pairs with Bluetooth easily and I've gotten up to 30 feet away from the unit while it was paired to my phone and it didn't skip a beat. Took it tubing a few weeks ago and strangers where impressed that it floats and you can sink it under the water, pull it back out and it works and sounds fine. Keep it in my car cause I never know when I'll use it next. Get it, you'll love owning this thing.

    I recommend this speaker for its size, overall sound and ease of use. The bluetooth works flawlessly and it will even charge your source unit while in use ! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is it could use a little more bass but I really like this unit. Long battery life too.

    I bought this product so I could take it on the beach and around the lake. I love how it is everything proof. You can lay it in the sand or throw it in the lake! The sound quality is great and super loud. It came with mounting straps so I could attach it to my tent on the beach. Super cool product, that people ask me about every time i use it!

    Unless you're wealthy you can't have everything, but this will get you pretty close. Waterproof, dustproof, compact and great sound as long as you don't go all audiophile and pick it apart. It's great NOT perfect. It pairs quickly and easily. It has a good range so the source can be some distance from the speaker. It has a charging outlet to charge a device and good battery life. The surface it is set upon can have a nice or not so nice effect on the sound so try different surfaces. Used in backyard with Pandora had no problems with quality, connection or volume. It's not going to blast the feathers of a pigeon and it shouldn't--not what it's designed for. It's a great unit, would definitely buy another.

    I had been hesitant of purchasing as we were looking for something that would live up to our active lifestyle that would provide a good quality sounds. This is the perfect little speaker. While it did take longer then it should have to pair with my ipad - after I turned it off and back on it had no issues. Also, just a piece of advice, be sure to check your volume on the ipad or iphone as well as our volume was turned lower on the ipad, but the speaker was all the way up so it took us a few minutes to realize why it was not as "loud" as we experienced in the store. We've taken this speaker outside now on numerous occasions and the battery seems to be holding up well. In addition to us not worrying about the outside conditions where we bring the speaker, its great as we have kids and aren't needing to hold our breath each time they go to adjust the volume, fall and break. For anyone with an active lifestyle, kids, or even those that are clumsy, this is a great product!

    Get this speaker if you are a hardcore/destroyer/off road kind of person. It's loud x but very heavy. I changed it for a JBL Charge 2 for sound quality. But if you a speaker that you can sink in the water, drop it and crush it get this one. Believe me. This is good for that. Buy it.

    I really put this speaker to the test immediately after purchasing it. I got a full charge on the battery which only takes 4 hours... not bad for a 40 hour battery life! Then our first outing was to the beach in Florida on the Gulf of Mexico side... the Gulf is very loud, and this speaker had no issues over powering that sound to deliver true clear music. Definitely worth the $199 I paid for it.

    The speaker sounds great. It is really loud and the Bluetooth works really far away. I had the speaker on the 3rd floor of a house we where working in and I was all the way in the basement and it still worked. The only issue is it does t seem to work as far as charging. I plugged my Samsung s5 in and it started to charge then next thing ya know it stopped charging the a couple of seconds later it started charging again. I left in on for about 5 mins and it just kept on doing it. I tried different cables and same results. Owell I still love the battery life of the speaker and the sound and how portable it is.
