    Good speaker, but not at this price point

    Pros: Best Pairing that I've seen in a speaker, highly portable, great battery life, likely to be very durable, high rating for water resistance. Cons: As a speaker, it's only okay. You're REALLY paying for the portability here. The sound stage is really flat, however, and the bass is anemic, and if you're really looking for this to be a party speaker with lights and such, the lighting is pretty take. Overall it's a good speaker, but at this price point it really needed to be a GREAT speaker.

    This thing gets so loud I was able to hear the speaker no problem over the wind noise at the beach. Ive taken to florida and texas beaches getting it dirty plenty of times with a quick wipe down was all it needed yo get back to new. Love this thing and will be buying a second one to hook up in series.
