Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the PlayTough Pro's sound quality, waterproof design, and battery life, with many praising its ease of use and portability. The speaker's volume and Bluetooth connectivity also receive favorable feedback, while some users highlight the impressive bass for its size. However, customers are negative about the charging port, citing issues with its durability and accessibility. Overall, the positive aspects significantly outweigh the reported concerns.

    I liked the product but the charging port overtime got pushed back and now it won’t charge so I can’t use it. Best Buy wouldn’t give me a new one even though it had only been about 4 months. So now I’m stuck with a broken speaker that I paid $70 for.

    Speaker would die very fast, you probably get an hour of max volume playtime before the battery drains and lowers the listening volume. Also the max volume is not that loud. I had it 3 feet from me max volume and was not surprised. Get a JBL instead

    I purchased this speaker to be a smaller portable speaker for my cheer team to practice outside. It is not loud enough and then the volume changes on its own or just disconnects from my phone.
