    Radio would never hold a charger, Custom Service emailed to say they would ship a new battery out. Never received the battery. After a month I had to ship the ION Audio Tailgater Sport XL Portable Bluetooth Speaker Orange/Black unit back. Hopefully they will fix it and ship it back in a timely matter. Honestly after this, I would never buy an ION Speaker again.

    Bought this for Dad for the pool. Bluetooth cuts out when further than 8 ft away. The radio does not work at all. He likes to listen to the ball game outside and neither FM or AM gets any sort of reception. Poor product. Returning.

    The bass sounds terrible on this speaker. It has a extra bass makes it worse.

    The sound quality was non existent, especially if you’re an audiophile such as myself. Volume was terrible, had to return!

    This speaker is exactly what we were looking for! We plan to use it at youth baseball games for warm-up and football practices to get the boys hyped! We use it at home too :) Easy Bluetooth setup, if you use the aux plug it gets even louder. Love that it has the handle, wheels and inserts for carrying.

    Great sound, easy use, battery died after 9 hours

    Bought this speaker to play music at an ultra-marathon aid station ... was looking for something loud enough tone heard and motivate runners a good distance away ... this speaker did that ... and was easy to use ... HOWEVER, the advertised 75-hour battery died in less than 9 hours ... I get that playing at full volume will compromise the battery life, but we should have gotten more than 1/8 the advertised length ... I'll recommend with a heavy caveat up front.

    I bought this speaker for an outdoor party. The sound was awesome even without turning the volume up to the max. The people at the party were impressed. Even one person said that they will be buying one ASAP. The speaker is worth the price and I’d recommend it for sure.

    Speaker sounds great!

    Connected via bluetooth using a MacBook to play songs using iTunes. Music sounded great using the battery of the speaker for 5-6 hours during a backyard party. There were no issues at all. You will need a full 12 hours to recharge a depleted battery. Keep that in mind if not using the power cord. So plan ahead.

    will be returning

    I bought this speaker today in Chesapeake. I was disappointed as soon as I opened the box and could hear something rattling inside the speaker. I however decided to try it out and see how it sounded. Once again more disappointment. There is no way this thing pumps out 100 watts. Maybe 20 max if even that. The speaker pops and crackles with more distortion even at low volume than any speaker should. Don't even bother with the bass boost button because well that too is a disappointment. For 180.00 this thing should be leaps and bounds better than it is. I will be returning immediately.
