    This is an ok product. It took forever to link to my Bluetooth, but once I got it set up, the music sounds ok. It's not a high-end speaker so set expectations. But it will do the job if you are traveling and don't want to use you PC speakers....

    I was in need of a speaker to use while showering, came across this. Decided to get it. It does the job, as in sound comes out of it in the form of base line music. Nothing fancy.

      Make sure the speaker is fully charged. If it is unresponsive, press the switch inside the reset port. It is located in the waterproof compartment. iHome

    Can't beat it

    It sounds great without digging into your wallet. It may not be as visually appealing as other products or have swoopy pics strapped to a snowboard but it doesn't sound as "tinny" as those speakers either....which by the way are twice the price. I wouldn't make a habit of it but I did submerge the speaker while swimming and it hasn't missed a beat...pun intended. The supplied lanyard is great for hanging the speaker on the shower head too. The Bluetooth range is as advertised but also keep in mind of barriers or obstacles for uninterrupted sound. I purchased this because I wanted something that we could throw by the pool and not worry about having an investment (Bose) with the portability. Great product. I'm online today to pick up a few more for stocking stuffers this Christmas.

    Durable But Not All That Convenient

    Its range is unimpressive, sound is acceptable. Realize that small speakers cannot compete favorably to larger speakers especially when bass is concerned. The sound of the iHome speaker is not awful; for it's size it is good. I am bothered by having to hold in the power button for about three seconds to turn it on and the range is a limiting factor as well. 20 feet and the signal starts breaking up. I've used it in the shower a few times and dropped it a few more times and it still performs as it should.

    A nice product when you want music but don't want to risk damage to a bigger speaker. Durable and waterproof, perfect for the beach.

    Had bought this for downstairs shower. Worked well, but saw BOOM on sale for half the price. That one has about 85% of the quality for 50% of the price when on sale. However if I hadn't seen that sale, would have kept this item.

    Was great while it lasted. Actually didn’t use it much, but audio just stopped working. Bluetooth connected, and i can change speaker volume with iHome (showing its linked), but just no sound. I reset it, unpaired and re-paired, tried in multiple phones, none of which worked. I’m hesitant to try another iHome product now..

    Lousy Product

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I used the speaker perhaps 30 times over a three month period. I recharged after every use. After 3 months it would no longer hold a charge. I returned it the Best Buy in Redding and they told me "have a nice day".

      The speaker may have been charged with the incorrect voltage or needed a simple reset. In the future, please contact iHome support for troubleshooting and warranty options. 1-800-288-2792 or https://www.ihomeaudio.com/support/ iHome
