Best Budget speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For $100 this is the BEST Speaker you can get! It's the best mid tier speaker I have used sound wise but also the utility! Full water proofing! Can connect multiple together for surround sound! It knows when it's upright or on side to optimize the surround the single speaker itself! If you don't want to spend $350+ but want durability and utility with good sound, get this!
