    Very bad sound quality. It’s expensive for the quality. The weather proof is good but bad quality sound.

    I purchased this Bluetooth speaker but ended up returning it. The physical features were nice but the sound quality was way below my expectations. I personally wouldn't recommend this product.

    Have never been able to get it to pair with my iPhone or iPad. So far it is worthless to me. This is the second one I purchased. Took back the first one because it wouldn't pair either.

    I was looking for fidelity, and also volume. The quality of the sound is okay, but the thing is not loud at all. Extremely disappointed. The battery life also sux. I get 6 - 8 hours, at best.

    Worst speaker on the market

    Worst speaker ive ever owned, even though only owned for 1 hour. Every song sounded like it had static in the background which i am assuming is from the speaker trying to have the extra bass effect. I would not recommend to anyone, i would only recommend that altec remove off the shelves as soon as possible.

    I've had AL products before and I thought they were a great value. This one is awful. I use it only 1-2x a week, and the battery dies quickly and then turns off suddenly when the battery is around 20%

    This speaker did not last. It stopped working after a few months - would not charge. I tried different charging cables, but it seems the battery is no good.

    Good speaker.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I enjoy the speaker. It's compact. it's got nice crisp clear sound. But for the love of all that is good and holy can somebody please explain to me why altec Lansing refuses to say how many watts their speakers are. I've owned at least seven different ones never once have I seen the watts. Altec, why must you be so secretive. Like is it really that big of a deal if we know that information? I've actually passed up on about four of your speakers because you refuse to reveal that information. You want to join the crowd and reveal that information just like every other Bluetooth speaker company does. Good Lord I like your products, but come on. Why. There's no reason for the nonsense.

    For the money, this little speaker is great. The sound is very full and seems to fill the room. The charge lasts for at least 10 hours.
