    Let's start by saying I like this product, especially for $50; I felt bummed when yesterday it stopped working right after 2yrs; I didn't buy an extended warranty because those usually are a pain to handle in my personal experience, but I regret that this time. It has good sound and moderate range, like my Shoks headphones, I use it almost daily for a few hrs.

    Great sound from a compact, yet sturdy and rugged looking little speaker system!! Love that it has so many extras like wireless charging, multiple lighting settings, etc. WELL WORTH the money and a great value compared to the pricier speakers that do the same thing. Not gonna test the waterproof capability. : )

    The speaker is great and audio is great quality but the wireless charging of a phone really drains the battery fast. Overall I liked it for the price.

    This thing is awesome. Does die quicky if you use the phone charger, but regardless it still performs nice. Great for dirty work environments. Charge last months when not in use.

    Speaker packs a nice punch for the size. Had a broken piece when received due to packaging being damaged. Hopefully, it will not lead to a fatal issue with the speaker when placed in water.

    Quite a little powerhouse here and it has wireless Qi charging. The lights are sort of a nice addition for nighttime use and the little kids think it is cool. Now the sound is of course what it is bought for and that does not disappoint, especially with the Altec Lansing name on the line. It operates and connects effortlessly to streaming music through phones and such.

    The Lifejacket Jolt is Awesome!! The sound is excellent quality and loud. The Jolt is the only Bluetooth speaker that has a mounting point that is the same as used on cameras so I could easily mount securely to my boat.
