    Really quite impressed with this....we needed a portable option for off property Board meetings and this will definitely fit that need for sure! Very clear audio, be it music or voice via microphone. Would have liked to see a second microphone input but with a splitter we have a workaround.

    I bought this as a gift for my grandfather. Works as it should. My only complaint is that you have to have your phone close to it or else the music stats to cut off. I assume it's the lack of signal. Not sure if the reason for that is because they don't have wifi. Other than that it works as intended.

    This speaker is terrible. Poor sound quality, issue connecting to Bluetooth and the bass is garbage. It also doesn't light up, which is unusual because all other ION speakers do. I received it today and I'm returning it to the store TOMORROW.

    GARBAGE

    I’ve had this for LESS THAN 2 MONTHS, and it’s already broken. It won’t charge - I bought a replacement cord and that didn’t work - so it’s the battery/hardware thats shot. ION also doesn’t have this speaker available for their battery warranty so I’m out $200. When it worked it was a great speaker, but for it to only work for 53 days, the price isn’t worth it. Save your money and get a JBL.

    Purchased two for our summer swim team. When the pool was empty, they worked well with the bluetooth, when it was packed with 300 swimmers and their families, it was terrible. The Bluetooth would glitch every 10 seconds and they definitely weren't loud enough. The only way a microphone would work and feed to both speakers was with a bluetooth mic using an app on someone's phone causing an annoying delay. Not happy and returning them today for something more powerful.

    I picked this up for a small event and I was never able to get it going. While I was able to pick up FM radio, I intended to sync a device to stream via Bluetooth. I downloaded the app on several devices Apple, android but it would not sync, even visited YouTube and got nothing. Ultimately i returned and purchased the JBL partybox. It was a bit more pricey but much easier to manage and much better sound.

      Hi, Ion Audio Technical Support here, happy to help. A few things to consider, there are two Ion Audio apps, you want to use the Sound XP app for the Sport XL. Another point to consider is that the app is not required. If you would like to connect using your phone's Bluetooth you can also do that. There will be two Bluetooth profiles for this device, and the one ending in _BLE will be specifically used to connect with the app. Please feel free to reach out to our live chat agents at www.ionaudio.com/support and we would be happy to help further. ionaudio

    Use this speaker almost everyday outside. Really great sound it’s pretty strong tbh. Even with loud family you can still hear the music blasting. Recommend for sure.

    Not loud enough for outdoor event. Songs became muffled, couldn't hear the lyrics. The power on and off button are extremely slow and confusing, same with the Bluetooth.

      HI Ion Audio Technical Support here!
      Sorry to hear you are having trouble! Please be sure that the source volume is turned up on the Sport Xl, and if you are using a microphone, that you have increased the microphone volume as well. This can be done by pressing in the main volume encoder. You may also want to increase the volume on the bluetooth device as well. If you are still experiencing issues please reach out to us at www.ionaudiosupport.com ionaudio

    Unfortunately, this product stopped working a little over a year after it was purchased. We attempted to take it to Best Buy so it can be looked at, but they told us we needed to have the extended warranty when the speaker worked. It was great when it worked and we would’ve love for it to last much longer, but at this point, I cannot recommend the speaker
