Revainrating 3 out of 5

Average speaker with average battery life and sound.

I got this speaker because of its waterproofness and flat design. There are so many speakers that it is not very practical to put them in a travel bag. In these aspects, the speaker works perfectly. Sound is good, battery life too. However, there were a few things I didn't like about the dynamics. First, no strap is included to hang or tie the speaker down. The only thing provided was a carbine. Via a hook in a backpack or a loop on a belt, excellent. However, if you want to hang it up in the shower, it's a bit more difficult with a single carabiner. Second, it can be very difficult to reattach the cover that protects the speaker terminals from water damage. I'm not sure how sure I would actually be if I put the speaker next to the pool. To be fair, it probably just needed hacking. After several attempts, I was able to install the valve correctly without much effort. However, distraction could mean I didn't make sure the lid was on properly before venturing out into the rain or shower. The third problem I had was with the FM tuner. I tried many times to get the tuner to work but all I got was static. This was one of the main reasons I bought the speaker as I already have so many Bluetooth speakers. I was hoping to get a good old radio along with a bluetooth speaker. If you're hoping to replace a radio, this speaker isn't for you. Finally, the startup and shutdown sounds, as well as the mode switching sounds/voice or are terribly loud. There's no easy way to turn the speaker on and off without waking up the household. Every prompt from mode switching to turning on and off seems set to 100% and I haven't found an easy way to change that. I think for the price it could be done a little better.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • There's nothing here
