Decent Bluetooth Speaker
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker that can withstand the elements and a fair amount of abuse, this may be just what you are looking for. This speaker is lightweight, yet durable. Perfect for the campsite, poolside, or tailgating. Waterproof, dust proof, and able to take a decent drop, you’ll have no worries toting this little gem on all your adventures. It’s about the size of a “tall boy” beer can and fits nicely in your standard drink holder. With the included lanyard you can attach a carabiner and hang it just about anywhere. You’ll want to make sure you utilize the full bass boost, otherwise the sound is a bit tin-like and flat. So if you are looking for the absolute best quality sound, this probably isn’t going to satisfy your needs. But for a good decent sound device that is rugged, it’s a winner. The sound distributes equally regardless of whether it is upright or laying on its side. Definitely loud enough for most environments and outdoor use. Setting up and connecting to both my iPhone and my Note 10+ were extremely easy. No issues staying connected or switching between devices. Sony has put out a solid product here. I like the way this speaker looks, feels, and sounds. This has become my go to speaker for on-the-go and outdoor activities.
