Customers are saying

Customers find value in the sound quality of the Solar Sounds Solar Rechargeable Outdoor Bluetooth Speaker, with many praising its surprisingly good audio output for its size. However, significant concerns exist regarding the product's battery life and water resistance, as several users reported issues with both features after brief use or exposure to rain. Bluetooth connectivity also proved problematic for some customers, with inconsistent pairing and syncing. The speaker's overall durability is also questioned, with some units failing after short periods.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Unfortunately this speaker stopped working when it stayed out in the rain. Not really an effective outdoor speaker with limitations like that.

      Hello,

      Ion Audio Technical Support here. Sorry to hear you are having trouble!

      The Solar Sound is a water-resistant speaker, and as such should be left in an area with generous drainage and taken inside during heavy storms.

      If you are having issues, please reach out to us at www.ionaudio.com/support. ionaudio

    This item is cool, if you don't want to have wires everywhere, but don't keep them out in a storm they fill up with water and stop working.

      Hi, Ion Audio Technical Support here. While these speakers are water resistant, they are not waterproof. This is an important distinction. They should be left in an area with plenty of drainage to prevent damage from being left in a puddle, they should also be brought in during heavy rain and storms. We are standing by and happy to help at www.ionaudio.com/support. ionaudio

    One star because zero wasn’t an option. Bought two, the first one stopped working after the first two weeks and the second a week after that. Best Buy return policy is just about as great as the quality of these speakers!
