Great cup holder speaker
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the size of this for sitting in your cup holder of a chair while camping our sitting out with friends. It has great sound for the size and more than enough battery life. The IP67 rating means that if it rains or near the beach/pool i am safe which is a big deal as I use it most there. Another great speaker that offers more uses compared to the larger Sony speakers that have better sound but you end up leaving them on the ground or they are more cumbersome to carry. This is small and easily moved. The Green color is cool.
