Customer Ratings & Reviews

It’s a great boom box and it’s sound incredible and is done well

Speaker is very loud and clear. Very nice size not to small and not to large rolls easy on wheels. Speaker has a great battery life have used multiple weekends in a row and baseball fields without charging

This speaker has great sound and the battery lasts forever! We use it at baseball games to get the kids pumped up. Love having the extendable handle and wheels so you can move it around like a suitcase. We had an issue with Bluetooth staying connected on the first one we bought. Best Buy customer service was excellent and allowed us to exchange it for another one with no questions asked. New one works great and stays connected!

This hitter has full sound that rocks the open air. Used primarily on our tour for a PA system, it often converts into a mood setting machine and thumps a variety of rock n roll hall of famers. It delivers long lasting battery life, all things considered, it is highly mobile, has an easy to use PA-microphone system and can crank up to stir up the motivation. If the sound was a bit clearer and had the ability to dial in the hertz....it would be perfect. As is, it still shakes things up, I mean, it's less than $200 and sounds like its $400.

I bought this for my adult son for his birthday. He's getting married this fall and wanted a speaker that could be used for his reception, and other celebratory events and gatherings. He LOVES it! It has 75 hours of charge time - uh, that could a Woodstock event! It's very portable and has good sound and a sleek look. The included microphone is a huge bonus! In his words, it was the best birthday gift he received. :D

Was looking for new jobsite radio (most are junk), ran across this unit in BB store... Took a gamble, bought it. Has built in SLA battery, so can be portable if no AC power available. Not sure how dust & moisture resistant it really is, nor do I intend to find out... but has concealed input jacks (Mic, & 1/8" stereo mini jack), and detachable AC power cord (in back, with sealing plug to cover the jack when not in use). Unit has Blue Tooth capability. It works, although range is very limited.... not the usual 10 meters (33 ft) or so pretty much standard on most devices. I tried multiple BT devices.. none would connect or stay connected reliably further than about 3 meters (10 ft) away. So, I use the 1/8" stereo input most often.. better sound quality anyway. Sound quality is not bad, although not great. It's high-midrange dominant with a very pronounced boominess in the bass region. Appears to be polypropylene woofer, which explains the midrange-boominess. Haven't opened the unit yet, but from the sound, suspect there is little to no damping material in the ported cabinet. The specs claim this unit has a 100w amplifier... no other references are cited for that claim, so who knows how the manufacturer arrived at that number. There is no way this unit produces 100W of clean continuous power at any reasonable THD level... Doubt it even produces that under peak output... more like 50W peak, 25W continuous would be more reasonable. But, the FTC no longer checks on electronics manufacturer claims, so anything goes these days. Sounds is loud enough for most conditions, and reasonable distortion levels for normal listening... though it does go into clearly audible clipping when pushed. I've heard worse, and this isn't bad overall... just not as good as a decent older boombox, or even low end stereo equipment. Even my Bosch jobsite radio will run circles around this as to sound quality, but not really an apples to apples comparison. This unit will run several hours on the internal battery, at low to mid level volume... but even at lowest volume, it runs down after 3-4 hrs... far short of the OEM claims. But, it's about what I'd expect. To get the claimed all day play on battery power, it would need a much larger (and HEAVY) sealed lead acid battery (SLA). It would be nice to have DC input to power directly from another battery or vehicle, but not a big deal. I have power on my jobsites, and inverter power on my trucks, so can always plug in the AC if needed. Biggest disappointment and source of confusion is the AM/FM radio... it's totally useless!! There is no antenna, or connection for one... FM uses the AC cord for a dipole antenna, same as some clock radios, under cabinet radios, or some portable radios. It's an extremely poor choice for antenna.. The FM tuner picks up so much RF noise from the internal power supply and display board that listening to the radio is nearly impossible. Without the AC cord plugged in, reception is zero on FM. AM reception is intolerable due to self generated internal RF noise. Not sure why the OEM even bothered to include a radio as poor as this. Would have preferred they spent the money wasted on the radio on better speakers and sound damping material. Overall, the unit is pretty rugged, sound isn't bad... but the limited range blue tooth and useless AM/FM radio make this model less than ideal... there are better units out there. Had this one a few weeks.. will see how long it holds up. I can only recommend this unit with certain constraints listed here.

This speaker has great durability. It has extreme volume but quality to the sound as well. The handle is extremely convenient and helpful. Very versatile. Can be used for both small gatherings and outdoor events. Love this!

I bought this for movies and music outdoors. This speaker does get loud and it is a good sounding speaker. The extra bass does help. Paired with Bluetooth I haven't had any lag. I also like having the radio.

Best powered portable speaker I have in a while. Super convenient, rugged and has great sound. Battery life is very well even at higher volumes.

I bought this for working and playing outdoors. It has good power and great sound. My only complaints would be that it’s heavy and it should have storage for how big it is. Someplace for wires and the mic.

This is basically a giant battery. It’s handy during emergencies. The music sounds great, it has have Bluetooth and aux options. You can charge your devices while you’re using this speaker.

I had been searching for a speaker that was loud enough to hear down at the river this one definitely did the trick! Super affordable, dust/water resistant, extra bass... couldn’t ask for more!

Works great and sounds perfect, wish I bought this sooner cause my old radio was getting so bad. Its water proof and bluetooth. It has wheels and its easy to move around.

Needed to up grade my music for my garage. Glad I chose the Ion Audio Tailgater. Great sound portable also water resistant great for family outings or when I grill.

This speaker is not only waterproof but it appealed to me because of its durability and sporty look. The sound is great and it's one of a kind, only found at best buy!

This has exceeded my expectations for a portable speaker, the sound is great and the portability makes it easy. The battery life has been wonderful so far.

This is a great portable speaker that has super extended rechargeable battery. Sounds loud enough and is waterproof.

My wife and I needed to buy some type of microphone speaker setup for our wedding. Saw this at the store and decided to purchase it. Thank goodness we did because not only did the microphone work perfectly but we used it to play our wedding songs via bluetooth! This system was perfect for our special occasion. Wife still uses it at home to play her music and just an fyi it thumps.

This sound strong and very good at base professional equipment easy to use has radio

This speaker has extreamly clear sound i like it and its super loud with the xtra bass
