I was looking for a Bluetooth speaker that had rugged look and feel. I found this one to be exactly what I was looking for. I've had some Altec Lansing computer speakers for about 15 years and they still work just as good as the day I bought them. I anticipate this product to do the same. One thing I like about it is the clip attached to the side. It's come in handy when I've gone to the beach or use it outside while washing the car. I went with the black even though it came lots of different colors. Speaker sound for a unit this small was very surprising. I haven't had a chance yet to utilize it's water resistance yet but I've seen videos describing it. All in all a great investment.

Small bluetooth speaker is what I need and I found it in this one I use it in a car because my car does not have Bluetooth. phone is kind of bad when im driving,now I have a Bluetooth speaker with a clear speaker and responsive mic. Small enough to put in the pocket or hide it after driving. Music volume is immersive and surround inside the car. Although now I'm thinking I should buy the bigger model..but I need it small and unnoticeable. I've also lost too many headsets. This stays in the car and put it on when I'm driving.

Surprised on how loud the sound is from such a small device. With a speaker this size, bass is not too great but presentable enough to not distort most of my music. Slight distortion with very busy tracks on max volume. With volume 1 to 2 notches down eliminates distortion and still very loud. Love how I can attach to a small carabiner and attach while working/sporting outside, knowing it can withstand the elements. Unlike most this size, I am able to lay it flat (provides a nice 360 sound) or stand it up. Very important because when pointed direct, the loudness radiates quite a distance that may be too loud for others not even near you. Volume on phone calls lower than music volume, but was able to be heard with full sound and clarity. Great added feature of being able to skip/pause tracks on the device without having to access your phone. Overall, great BT speaker for size, sound, and portability.

was looking for a small, portable bluetooth speaker for use with my phone and to improve my laptop sound, for under $100.00. This certainly meets that criteria. It has interchangeable silicon covers that are thick and very slip resistant, possibly a little drop resistant. The controls are simple, its easy to synch, and will turn itself off if not used for 30 minutes or so. It comes with a short cable, so it can be used that way too.
The battery life is rated at 8 hours fully charged, this seems accurate. it has indicator lights for bluetooth and low battery. The sound is fine, no bass really, but for its size you wouldn't expect too much. The sound is very clear and detailed, and it will play surprisingly loud, it also sounds really good for acoustic music, where the detail may be more needed than bass. After listening to most of the best selling models out there, including the mini bose, this was the best compromise for me.

I happened to be at Best Buy when this Altec Lansing wireless speaker was on sale, and I was looking for a small speaker for having at work. To boot, it is waterproof, shock proof, and did I say waterproof?!?! It can actually float in water, but more for my desk, if I spill water on it, it won't fry it!
Having a metal loop and carabeaner to clip to a backpack makes it a great portable speaker, and it does last upwards of 6 hours before recharge is needed!

The Mini H20 speaker holds up to its IP67 (waterproof/dust proof/shockproof) rating. It even floats. Though this does come at the cost of a slightly muddy sound. In a similar price range, I can name two speakers that beat it in terms of sound quality, such as the JBL Micro Wireless and the Jambox Mini. Though neither of the other two speakers can boast an IP67 rating. In terms of the other speakers I listened to in-store, this is the best combo of waterproof portability, volume, and form factor. For comparison, I already own a JBL Micro Wireless, so I'll listen to that by my bedside, but I'll break out the H20 if I want to listen to my favorite tunes, podcasts or audiobooks near the water.

I was instantly sold at the Logitech product display and the price was right so I couldn't pass it up.
What's good: for a small speaker it's very clear, light, durable, waterproof and easy to use.
What's not so good: it can't handle songs with a lot of bass and when it's turned in loud in the bathroom while showering it can't handle the loudest setting and sound quality drops fast.
I will say my colleague liked mine, went to best but and the rep sold him on a similar small wireless speaker that wasn't this one and is 10 times as good at the same price. We tested at loudest setting and it's durablility and both passed with flying colors.
We might pay to get one for each phone in our family. Just not this brand.

The bass on this is amazing, the sound quality is great for the size of the item. The greatest feature is the ability of being waterproof and sand proof, great for the beach. Overall great product.

The thing that initially drew me to this was the price and it being waterproof. I was surprised that a lot of sound comes out of this little guy. Its about the size of an index card so it's perfect for travel. Not sure that it's 100% waterproof Bc I haven't put it in water but it's perfect for my needs

I hike, kayak, and am outside a lot (I am also an adventure therapist). This little guy has huge sound! Everyone is always surprised by how lout it is for such a small thing. It easily clips onto my backpack or kayak, so I can take it pretty much anywhere.

I bought this speaker because of the small size and the ability for it to go anywhere! The sound quality is great and it turns up super loud! Worked great on the ski slopes and am looking forward to using it around the lake! Easy to set up and connect any phone. Great product

This is one of the lowest price waterproof Bluetooth speakers and it has very good battery life and sound. It is small enough to carry around anywhere for music or speakerphone calls. The only negative is the loud voice indicating pairing and turning the speaker on and off.

I asked one of the staff if they could recommend a wireless speaker for my 17 yr old son . She said Altec mini is great; she has one and the sound is good quality. She was right. My son takes it everywhere. It's small, waterproof, and holds a charge long.

To boot, it is waterproof, shock proof, and did I say waterproof?!?! It can actually float in water, but more for my desk, if I spill water on it, it won't fry it!
The only annoying feature is when you turn it on, or shut it off, the preprogrammed Altec greeting/goodbye is much louder than the volume might be set. So when I turn it on, I get looks from those around me.
Even with that, several coworkers have looked into getting one for themselves! Having a metal loop and carabeaner to clip to a backpack makes it a great portable speaker, and it does last upwards of 6 hours before recharge is needed!

PROS
Bought this to keep on my disc golf bag so I could listen to some music while I played a few rounds. So far it has worked great for that. Light, compact and plenty loud enough for myself and others playing with me to hear without disturbing the more pretentious players on the course. Battery life and sound are as advertised.
CONS
It gets four stars because it has a very loud and unnecessary powering on and charging announcement. It has an indication light so I'm not sure of the point and /or why its blasted at max volume no matter the current volume setting.
