Customers are saying

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. The speaker's ability to charge mobile devices is also a frequently cited advantage.

    I was disappointed with the audio quality this speaker provided. The mini has better quality audio and is ½ the price. I would defiantly get the mini over this speaker.

    This speaker is not very good at being wireless. The bluetooth disconnects when only a foot away from the source. I had to return it only a week after opening it.

    I bought this speaker to mount to my hayabusa. I've tried many diffrent speakers but they were either to hard to mount or not loud enough. I charged and mounted this to my bike immediately and man was I blown away how loud it is. Got on my bike and hit 60 mph and still heard it loud and clear with a full face helmet on. At 70 mph I had to crack my visor open but could still hear it loud and clear. Past 80 mph the wind drowned it out but very few motorcycles speakers can be heard past 60 so I was extremely impressed.

    Decent speaker but no bass

    I bought this speaker based on some reviews and was somewhat disappointed. The speaker seems very well built, it's heavy and seems like it would do well in the elements, etc. The only part that I didn't like was the lack of bass. I'm not expecting a home stereo or even bose sound quality but I was just not impressed and for the price returned it. This speaker does get loud and I really liked the voice assist and mostly the battery level voice feature. If it had just a bit more low end it would be an awesome speaker. I traded it for the JBL Charge 3 and I'm very impressed with that - great sound!!!!

    Do not choose this brand of speakers over any of the others. The sound quality for the price for any of these speakers (small, med, large) is terrible. If you need waterproof rugged speakers, go with JBL or UE.

    Bought the smaller unit initially and it wouldn't take a charge. Returned it and upgraded to the larger one which worked for a week and then also failed to charge. Returned that for a Sony which has been great!

    I researched the boom jacket and the UE boom, both before purchasing. I'm super happy with my purchase of this unit. The sound is EXCELLENT. Easy to pair with my iPhone 6s Plus. Battery life is awesome, and the voice call feature is neat . Includes a mount to hang on your bike or from a backpack. I've had a lot of speakers and by far this is my favorite. For $100 I couldn't be more happier :)

    Awesome little speaker

    Don't buy this looking for great sound, buy it for the great sound and great features. Totally waterproof, rock solid, 40hr battery at normal listening levels, and it'll charge your devices. One of the first things I did was throw it in the pool. It bobbed a little and then floated back to the top. After draining some of the water out of the speaker area, it went back to sounding just fine.(Speakers don't work well when they're covered in water) But, it will float to where the speakers are pointing up, and it'll play music while floating. Doesn't have a lot of bass. No built in sub, only the two drivers and a small passive radiator on the back. It does pack a pretty good punch though. Plays plenty loud for pool parties and outdoor parties.

    This thing is pretty cool. Bought and used on a trip to hawaii. Completely waterproof and an incredibly long battery. It's also very strong. I brought this to work and accidentally ran it over with a mini hoe and its still working great! It does have some minor dents after and I'm not sure how the water proofness is of it anymore but I would definitely recommend this product for any kind of environment.
