    Loud enough and feels sturdy. I’d recommend to everyone looking for a rugged BT. It’s also bigger in scale than the picture. Aux in is great as speakers now normally only have BT.

    Won’t turn on only a month after return period is over. Great waste of money. Does not keep water out as described.

    Great speaker to use outside

    First of all, I got this ION speaker Black Friday 2018 on sale for $49.99. I bought this speaker just because it was on sale and wanted a rugged speaker to use while I work on yard, cars etc. To my surprise the sound was great and have taken a lot of abuse and still going. I would definitely recommend this speaker but wait to its on sale and don't pay full price. For $49.99 I don't think you can get a better speaker at this price point. I have more than one Bluetooth and this one is definitely worth picking up.

    The good: Speaker sounds great, fantastic battery life, and totally waterproof and durable. The bad: The FM tuner is a pain to set the presets and the reception isn't great. The waterproof door on the back to access the power plug and the headphone jack is really hard to open. The verdict: I'd still buy this again. Love it.

    This is a great product! It is very portable, very durable, and very loud if you want it to be! The sound is also crystal clear and it is very easy to pair to bluetooth. We use it in the backyard and when we go to the drive in theater. I also love that it is rechargable so i dont have to worry about replacing batteries.

    Great speaker, the reason for the 4 stars is the charging, is not good. You don’t know when is totally charged, but overall is really water proof and that is awesome, you can deep it in the water and the music keeps playing it’s awesome

    This was the only waterproof, blue tooth speaker with a FM radio that was available at the time surprisingly I am impressed with the outter construction of the speaker sound is good wish the antenna was better for FM radio and if it told you what your battery percent when powered on would be great but for a river radio it will work.

    This is a very good speaker for the money. Good sound and it is tough. The only thing I didn’t like about it, is that the Fm transmitter doesn’t work all that well, but it’s probably for the lack of antenna. But honestly not many people use this as a true fm radio. The Bluetooth on it is great and the sound is crisp.

    I purchased the Ion Audio Aquaboom due to the fact it’s water proof and has a built in FM radio. Keep in mind, you can only program 6 FM stations. The sound is loud and crisp enough to enjoy your music. However, if you like music with loud bass there’s definitely some noticeable distortion. For the price point, you get decent sound.

    We purchased the Aquaboom Max Bluetooth speaker for cookouts and camping. We were pleased to learn that it was completely waterproof and it even floats. I am impressed with the quality of the sound and the rugged durability of this speaker. The connection to any Bluetooth source is easy. FM radio is an added bonus and works well. I have recommended this speaker to several friends, and one person who was at our cookout has already purchased one for themselves after seeing mine.

    I was searching for a Bluetooth speaker at the last minute for a party at my house and stumbled upon this bad boy. I think I only paid $100 for it and it was by far the biggest speaker for anywhere near that price range. It was easy to connect(pair) my phone to it and it has nice loud clear sound. It is advertised as being waterproof but I haven’t tested that. I don’t want to risk it, but I’m sure it would be fine. Seems well made.

    Received this as a birthday present. Love it. I work in a very loud and dusty environment and this will hold up great. The volume is loud enough that I can actually hear it, unlike a lot of others that I have tried. The ten hour charge is also great.

    Worse ION product I own

    I am a big fan of ION but not this Aquaboom Max Boombox Speaker. The radio presets are a pain to do. One digit at a time is all you can do. No scanning availability. The radio portion does not come in that well. The boombox has to be positioned just right for any stations to come in and when they do they are a weak signal. It seems the boost bass does not work. I push the button and I don't hear the difference. I have played it all day on one charge which is good. But if you charge it fully and then don't go back to use it in a couple of days, it's totally dead again. I like size and the portability to it but it is heavy. I would recommend looking for something else. Unless this is on sale, it's not worth the purchase at full price.

    When i got this and charged it it worked great the sound is good but the FM radio is very touchy, when we tried charging it a second time it would not charge and hasn't been used since, hopefully it's just mine and not all of them.

    We use this portable speaker at the beach and fully charged it worked like a charm. The only downfall is that some of my tracks is low then you can increase the volume if it is already maxed out. Very good and sturdy speaker for outside.
