We use this for our homeless ministry and various other outdoor events. We previously had an ION Pathfinder which got stolen when packing up after an event.
This Sport XL works well. It has adequate volume for small to medium gatherings. The link feature would allow for at least a second unit so you could increase volume that way if needed (we don't use that feature). FM radio and Bluetooth streaming work well. Bluetooth pairing is easy to do. It does have a 3.5 mm aux jack but I have not had any need to use it so far. I have used it during light rain showers and had no issues. Luggage roller feature is nice but the unit is also not too heavy to carry. The included microphone is not the greatest quality. It feels very light and flimsy but it does work fine. Not sure if using a higher quality mic would improve the sound or not. Will try it someday. Battery power is very good. We have not run it till fully drained, but have used it for several 3 hour sessions (both with the mic and music) with plenty of power to spare. The only thing I miss in comparison to the Pathfinder it the wireless charging pad.
Unless you think you need more power, this is a great unit.

Was a christmas gift for my dad, his old speaker stopped working and this was a major upgrade. He loves it, its very loud and much bigger than I expected looking at it online but very happy with it. Comes with a microphone which the kids enjoyed playing with. The radio is clear, Bluetooth fairly easy to set up and we linked it to Alexa so he can have her play what he wants. The wheels are a big plus and moving it around it no problem.

I purchased this Tailgate Speaker to play music on a parade float. It worked great. Easy to use, came fully charged, Played for over two hours and still shows full battery. As far as the bass goes, it has plenty, however it depends on the setting on your source of music. Too much bass or too loud, it will distort. Radio is ok. It is somewhat heavy so wheels work well when moving.

For the price point you get a quality sound that seamlessly connects to your phone. At 100w this speaker can get as loud as you needed to get. Construction of this speaker feels solid and well made. Battery life is wonderful and the wheels and tote handle makes its quite mobile and a breeze to navigate.

We were looking for something portable that had good sound. This is great. Love the sound and also like that you can charge it up and use it without electricity! We also like the option of being able to plug in our audio items that aren't wireless or use the bluetooth capability. I would definitely buy it again!

Bought for my husband to replace a blown-out, years old ION speaker for work. Great sound with little to no distortion. The wheels make it easy to pack up and move around. Easy to connect to Bluetooth and holds a great charge.

Great sound! Very loud. Durable and love the wheels. Only minus is the weak bass for hip hop music, but I knew that when I decided to buy it.

Incredibly loud as intended. I work in a steel shop and can hear it over half a football field away with earplugs in with grinding going on. Sound quality is excellent. Sounds muddy when near max volume, but i don't expect people to crank It to max when it can damage your hearing. Lasted 3 years in a dirty everyday environment with steel flakes in it. More than worth the money i bought it for.

This product is easy to use and the luggage handle and wheels make it mobile. It has excellent battery life and projects well. The bass boost isa little over saturated in my mind and the sound gets distorted when you do turn it all the way up. I have not tried the microphone but didn’t see a need for one when I bought it. The used for this product become more and more obvious after you buy it. Was worth what I paid for it.

This portable speaker packs a punch. I have it in my garage and it is loud. After the freeze we had come through Texas in February 2021, it must have killed the battery because it no longer holds a charge. Before the freeze, it held a great charge. The wheels help roll it around, but the handle is a bit on the weak side. Bluetooth connections are a breeze, and most FM/AM stations come in clear. Overall, good little speaker.

The speaker is actually pretty loud and the quality is great. Great idea on the handle to move this thing around. The linking to my phone was very easy. You can even tune into the radio. Kids love the micro phone ! Of course you can get a more powerful speaker, but for the money you can buy 2 and link them together ! Will be ordering another soon. Thanks BESY BUY!

I returned the 50W for this one. This one is larger but has wheels to drag it like a carry on bag- tho I wouldnt roll it over rough terrain, so carrying it is cumbersome and heavy. This 100W has the power to create good bass, mids and highs without having to crank it to max volume. If you're looking for a good jobsite radio, this one is great. Bluetooth is so easy you dont need the instructions, and the sound quality is great for the price.

I'm a music lover and this was a great birthday gift from my husband. This speaker has a quality crisp sound and great bass. While it is heavy to bring upstairs, it has space for a good grip on both sides of the speaker and the wheels with the retractable handle makes it less of a hassle.
Overall, this was a great buy and recommend to anyone looking at this to purchase.

So far we are enjoying the speaker. It is quite loud. Sound is decent. Decent bass. I'm not so sure we get the battery life it advertises but it does last for quite some time. The onboard USB ports for charging your device is a nice feature. Fairly portable even with its size. Easy to move around like luggage with the telescoping handle and wheels.
