    Bluetooth speaker was easy to connect. Has a great sound and some bass too. I never lost conection with bluetooth. Easy to carry. I had some issues with the mic. On and off switch stopped working. Im unable to use the microphone. Thinking of getting a wireless mic. USB ports keeps the phone charge. Overall. It was a good purchase

    I love my ion sport xl speaker with wheels and microphone. This speaker works great and very easy to use. Bluetooth connects automatically and doesn’t need to be charged for many hours. Quality sound makes this speaker a Must Have. Just what I was looking for! I am very happy with my purchase!

    Great quality, great price. Easy set up and this speaker is LOUD! I love that I can wheel it from room to room with ease. My daughter loves the microphone system for karaoke. It is an all-in-one amazing portable speaker. I would not change a thing. Pricing was very reasonable and availability was also a plus! Highly recommend.

    The Ion has a lot of features that I was looking for. Excellent sound, water resistant, AM/FM radio, Bluetooth and bass boost. Very easy Bluetooth connection. Excellent wattage for plenty of solid undistorted volume with great clarity. Plenty of device input options. The only feature I was hoping for was an output Jack for external speakers.

    Super clear sound. Great clear voice with microphone. Great for proclaiming the word of God at the beach. Feels solid. Has blue tooth to play that worship music while you preach Gods word! HALLELUJAH! 1 John 3:7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

    Over I think this unit is one of the best I've ever listened to and owned. I do think that the range is a little under the hundred feet that it states but is still very good. I would recommend it. the charged last very long. the bass is deep and it's just an all-around awesome Bluetooth speaker.

    We own batting cages & wanted a loud speaker to use for teams practices. This definitely pumps out the volume. Can easily connect your device to stream your music via bluetooth or with aux cord. Easy to transport. Would definitely recommend.

    I've been looking at this one for a while. Some folks in our campground up north have the smaller version, and when it popped up at nearly 50% off, I had to get one. So far so good. Charged it up overnight and pretty much used it all day yesterday. Hockey soundtrack for some roller street hockey, Xmas music for putting up decorations and just good tunes for some time outside with friends around a fire, it's gotten a workout on day one. Sounds really good, although a touch heavy on the treble side. Bass boost doesn't seem to do much, but it does fill it in a little at lower volumes ala the old "loudness" settings in the past. Radio pulls in some stations from quite a ways away, I'm interested to see how well it does in the boonies at the lake. It's going to get used a lot, can't wait to get it on the boat next year!

    This speaker provides a great sound and super easy to set up. This speaker can play very loud if needed while providing clear sounds. I like the rugged body and portability. I don't have to worry about damaging the speaker. Great buy!

    I was surprised how long the battery lasted and how easy it is to control. This thing does sound amazing. It's not a crazy loudspeaker with a lot of bass but great for parties, outdoor activities, etc. Great for the price. Recommend

    This little unit is around 25lbs but packs a great sound. It has good bass as well. It has usb charging ports and seems to have long battery life. The bass boost is a nice feature. The handle is a little short but adequate.

    Amazing quality sound and it’s looks much heavier than it really is. Love the long handle and wheels...connects seamlessly to Bluetooth. Was perfect for a party and small wedding ceremony.
