    Easy to sync with the phone. Great sound and portability! Can't wait for summer so I can take it outside and listen to music on the deck.

    This is a good deal for beach days. It can be loud but the quality of sound is really good. And being water resistant is good as well.

    I am a wireless speaker enthusiast... which means I have more than a few, much to my wife's dismay, so when I saw this was on sale I bought it. The sound quality is on par with other devices of this size. The build quality is very solid and I even tested that it floats upright in the pool! What I like least about this unit is the USB port charges my phone too slow. What I like most about this unit is that you turn it on, connect, and play tunes (real loud). No apps, no set up. Just play music. Simple, especially when compared to other brands that are jumping on the Alexa & Google Assistant band wagons.. Welcome to Altec Lansing!

    we purchased this to stream music via bluetooth by the pool and were surprised that this thing was not only perfect for summer sounds but super reliable and great vs the water. My son constantly put it in the pool to show me it could float and I didn't think the radio had a chance. It not only floated on the water but gave a great light show as well. Not sure how it would stand up to constantly being wet or with kids that are rough but our moderate use in the pool hasn't affected its performance as it still sounds and functions great.

    I was a little wary about this speaker at first since I couldn't find any online reviews from anywhere outside of Best Buy. I couldn't ignore the fact that it was less than half the price of the JBL Boombox though. It may not be quite as great as the JBL, but for the price, this thing really rocks! The bass booms, the treble is crisp, and I don't hear much distortion at high volumes. I didn't purchase this speaker with any intention of taking it to the pool, so I can't comment on how it performs with the elements. That said, I think it sounds incredible and I would highly recommend it.
