Extremely happy, I was down to the last minute again, I was having a party at my house. I didn't decide what to do for entertainment so I decided to go to Best Buy and get another Bose® SoundLink® Bluetooth® speaker III I have one and I love it but I didn't think it would be loud enough to have it outdoors for a party. I saw their was a Sony Representative their and I asked her what is the loudest portable speaker you have and she showed me Fugoo XL Water resistant speaker OH MY GOODNESS JUST GREAT. I am very happy

I use 5 days a week, to listen to my ipod. (Plug in style). I have used the bluetooth about 20 to 30 feet no problem (not sure of range). Produces great sound with talking capabilities telling you when battery life is half and low (or by pushing the power button quickly will give capacity. Next I love that I can charge my samsung galaxy s4 or ipod at the same time while listening to tunes. My phone at 40% will charge in about an hour and half, and my Ipod dead will charge fully in same time while you listen to it and it will not drain the speakers battery down that much, I would guess about a quarter, but not positive. I bought as a try it or buy it. I love it. Thanks Best Buy for you customer service.

Love this product! Long Battery life and quality sound! We take it everywhere we go! Camping, to the lake, in the barn, and even in the shower! It's loud enough to have a dance party outside, even if it's raining!

There's a lot of choices out there right now, but this is a very nice addition to my collection of speakers. It has some very decent bass, with neutral mids and highs. It's not overly exaggerated like the Bose Soundlink III and JBL's Xtreme. Bose has a bloated bass and JBL has bumped up bass and enhanced highs. Not bad in either case, just a reference for those who haven't heard them next to each other. The battery life of the Fugoo is a huge selling point, but the water proofing is truly impressive. I have submerged this thing completely under water several times to ensure that its not a gimmick, and it's still impressive to me. It's very durable and hold up really well to drop tests, and the 360 degree sound is a nice experience. It has similar power of the JBL Xtreme, but since it spreads its sound out in four different directions, it makes the speaker sound less powerful. It's misleading because of how it disperses sound, but it's a really nice unit to have. I recommend it to people who don't have a need for ear bleeding listening levels, but want accurate, warm sound. The speakerphone works well and the battery charging feature is decent. It's a little on the heavy side, but it's equivalent to its peers. Fugoo has finally made the carrying straps available too, which has changed the user experience for me.

I have had this speaker for a few months now and I Love Love Love this portable wireless speaker. I did a lot of research on portable wireless speakers on the internet and narrowed it down to 3 choices...... Fugoo style XL, Boise (not waterproof), JBL Flip 3 before buying this speaker. Then I wanted to Listen to them before making my purchase so I went to Best Buy and they had all 3 of them. I am the picky type and knew what characteristics I wanted from my new speaker and this Fugoo XL had them all and much more! I wanted a 360 degree sound from a balanced bass, treble, sub-woofer sound like my stereo sound in my living room or a boom box sound..... to be able to use it outside and on the water in the boat (waterproof).......able to charge my cell phone battery at the same time I am listening to my music, a very long lasting battery (35 hours of playtime), small enough to travel with but large enough to be durable and heavy duty to get a GREAT Sound. I also can use it for a speakerphone thru Bluetooth (up to 120 feet) (voice enabled speakerphone) which is an nice extra I didn't count on. So far it has become one of my Favorite things!!!! I love the sound inside my house as well as outside. It Rocks!!!! I listen to Jazz, country, rock and they All sound Great! It also has an "inside" setting and "outside" setting. Also, I would like to add how easy this speaker is to operate. With me being over fifty, I can say it is VERY easy to use. Some of this new tech stuff is over my head. I definitely made the PERFECT choice for my needs. I carry it outside on my deck to listen to while working in the garden or out front when washing the car. When I get a phone call, the music stops and pauses and then resumes after the phone call is finished. I absolutely Love this speaker. If I had to give a complaint for this speaker it would be that it did not come with a strap to carry it around which would make it much more convenient, but they do sell those separately. They say it also has a remote control you can purchase separately, which in my opinion should have been included in the purchase of the speaker as well as a strap, but I just use the buttons on the speaker or my cellphone and have not really missed a remote. It is kinda heavy but still carry's easy but needs to be in my opinion, because it makes it very stable. It will NOT blow away in the wind..trust me!! If you want a 360 degree stereo living room sound to go with you outside on your deck or patio, in the basement, upstairs, in the car, at the beach, in your boat, practically anywhere then you will love this speaker!!!! It is worth every penny of the price I paid for it and time I had to wait for Best Buy to ship it. Actually the store here in town sold out of them, so they ordered me one and it came before its estimated delivery date which was only a few days :) Thank You Best Buy for having this speaker in your store for me try out! It made the difference in my choice!

I was looking for a Bluetooth sound system for around the house. I wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money for a high dollar unit but wanted something a little nicer than those units that sound like it was coming from a tin can. Stumbling on to the Fugoo display inside the store, I was immediately impressed. Great sound, sharp looking, waterproof, light weight and portable are just a few things that struck me at first. And the Fugoo system connects with your phone with ease. My 20 year old son came home for the holidays and was equally impressed and asked me to get him one.

I have purchased two fugoo style xl speakers. The first one sounded horrible out of the box so I exchanged it (because of the reviews I've read) for the same model. 2nd one out of the box it is missing two of the sticker legs so it wobbles back and forth when playing music. Is this a common thing? When you pay $300 for a speaker you'd think you'd get a quality checked product?
Sincerely,
Disappointed

I bought this speaker for my wife for Christmas. The sound is excellent. Plenty of volume out of the speaker, but also plenty of actual bass as well. I have recommended this speaker to everyone I know. It also has great battery life, which worked out great for our recent camping trip.

Got this in a rush to replace my jambone speaker after loving it for over two years. It has a very similar appearance which made it very user friendly and was actually $10 cheaper. Even better abilities, 35 hours of battery life, waterproof, range works with my phone inside and the speaker outside. The volume and bass are very strong and only seems to have some static at its highest level. One notch below is fine.

I reviewed and went to Best Buy and had a demo with all the top Bluetooth speakers. This one sounded very clear with volume up, and a good balance of bass, mid, and high. The greatest feature I liked was that it's waterproof. Not just rain proof.
Battery life has been amazing. I haven't timed it, but I have listened to it at a medium/low volume for 3+ hours, and when I check the battery level, it announced "battery at 3/4".
Very pleased with this speaker so far. I hope they will make a software update to connect multiple units like jbl and ue does.

The Fugoo XL is a great speaker. Sound quality is superb but it seems a bit muffled when compared to something like the JBL Xtreme. It does have 360 degree sound which is nice. I was trying to decide between this speaker and the JBL Xtreme and went with the JBL for several reasons. The Fugoo hits a lower bass note but overall does not go as loud as the JBL or keep its bass at higher levels. Indoors it does a great job but using it outside even when placed in outdoor mode, most bass gets lost and it just can't pump out enough sound to sound very good in an open space. I would still recommend it over most speakers in this category but for me, the JBL Xtreme is just better.

I was looking for a wireless bluetooth speaker to use in my family room that was softer in appearance and would not look like a big electronic piece on the shelf next to family pictures and vases. This works well in our space. It's inconspicuous and blends in softly with everything around it in my opinion. The sound quality is great for the space and easily fills the room without going very high on the volume. It's portable obviously, and I've used it on the patio a few times and produces more than enough sound to entertain a backyard BBQ. My only gripe with this speaker is when you turn it on, a VERY LOUD annoying voice says "POWER ON". I'm afraid that I will wake up my small at night when I'm just trying to have some light music in the evening. I'm sure there's a way to disable it, I just haven't looked it up yet.

Bought this for my teenage son. Not only does it have amazing sound, but it's portability comes in very handy. He swims 2-3 hours per day. Since the speaker is water resistant he can have it at the pool, play his music and workout.

My Big Jambox's charging port shorted out, so I took a chance on this device after researching online. I loved the Big Jambox, but the additional features of true surround sound, 35 hour battery life, and being waterproof were too much to pass up. I'm glad I made the switch!

Bought this unit for my son to upgrade his smaller one. Great battery life (as long as you use a reasonable sound level), full sound and recharges quickly. The USB post allows charging of other devices handy. Being water resistant is a great addition for outdoor use in case it rains unexpectedly.

The Fugoo XL was a gift for my wife who loves listening to music indoors and out. The sound quality is rich and strong and the battery life is excellent. Bluetooth connection required a few tries but works well for streaming from iPhone 6.

This speaker is great because it is shockproof/waterproof. The sound quality is great and substantially better than similar products. The volume quality is great with a very crisp sound. Easy to sync.

I highly recommend the Fugoo Style XL! Save some money and pick this one up and buy the other jackets later. It sounds great and lasts me three full work days before having to charge! Being that it is completely waterproof and has great bass were major selling points for me. At only 95db, it's plenty loud outdoors. You won't be sorry you purchased this one!

I have tried many bluetooth speakers. Commom issues: they are not loud enough (for outdoors) or the battery life is too short.
I never heard of Fugoo... I typically stay with more "known" brand names. But after reading the specs on this speaker, i had to give it a try...
This Fugoo speaker performed flawlessly! . Its loud, and the battery easily lasts all day.... YES, ALL DAY!!!
I couldn't be happier!! A+++++

Unlike Bose, JBL, or etc., it has really neutral "hi-fi like" sound signiature, and is able to produce sound at 360 degree. Also it is able to produce low bass about 45-50 hz (There is no speaker out there that can play such a low bass like this one). I think it is the best outboor bluetooth speaker in the market now.
