Many appreciate its compact size and ease of Bluetooth connectivity, while some wish for improved bass response and more reliable charging capabilities. Positive feedback frequently highlights the speaker's ability to float and its reasonable price point. A few users reported issues with the charging port or the speaker's power functionality.

    My wife and I were in Best Buy shopping when she was looking at BT speakers for the bathroom. She expressed interest in this unit and we continued our shopping. I managed to get the speaker without her knowledge that same trip and did not have time to lookup reviews. Overall it is not bad, but I don't think the sound quality was worth the money I spent.

    Not the best but not the worst I've used either. If you have the money, go with a better brand.

    Battery life, Waterproof

    Rated 4 out of 5 stars

    Good sound, battery, but annoying voice

    The battery lasts a very decent amount of time for the charge length and it is indeed waterproof. Use it in my shower and out in the garage when I'm working and it can take a beating. The only main gripe I have (and should have paid more attention to in reviews) is the annoying LOUD voice that comes on when you start it, pair it with bluetooth, and when you shut it down. I have to smother it in a pillow if I turn it on late at night because of how loud it is. I really wish they would have made the volume controllable for it but for the price (got it on sale) and sound it is pretty good.

    I love the ideia of a Bluetooth speaker can float in water, but the sound quality is so bad.

    For the price, I do not think it is worth the value except the features of it being waterproof and shockproof. The sound quality is a bit distorted and staticky. I returned it to get the JBL Charge 3.

    This speaker was purchased in Dec of 2015. The first Mini Life Jacket lasted a few months before the battery stopped taking a charge. Altec Lansing swapped our dead unit for a refurbished one. Well it's July of 2019. Three and a half years later. Same situation. Battery won't take a charge. Why can't they make these speakers with an option to plug into wall to save the life of the battery which historically have horrible life expectancy. The search is on.

    After 8 months, the charging port died. The "Welcome to Altech Lansing" with every power-on is extremely annoying.
