Review on Bluetooth W KING Waterproof Playtime Portable by Kathleen Ledoux

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This boombox has a lot of sound

To be honest I only wanted to buy the D8 mini because it had a micro SD slot but I heard about this newer speaker that has more power . I've had it for about a month now and am very impressed with the sound quality and design. Has a very large battery (12000MA I think), two woofers, two tweeters and a large passive driver on the back of the unit. The buttons are located under the handle and they are multifunction buttons. So be sure to read the owner's manual to get the most out of this speaker. There are two equalizer settings (activate them by pressing the rightmost button) and the default setting is the one with more bass, but pressing the button lowers the bass and boosts the mids and treble. It has a good range when using Bluetooth so far with no dropouts. I mainly use my device with a microSD slot and currently have a 32GB card in it which it accepts with no problem. The outside is covered in a rubber finish, it seems to survive a day in the pool or at the beach, but I don't think it will stand up to a long immersion in water so I wouldn't try! :) Anyway, what I don't like about this column is that you can't adjust the equalizer to your liking. The default values are suitable for almost all music genres, but I would like more customization. And the fact that the passive driver is virtually open at the back means that an accidental bump or drop could rip the driver's material. There should be a speaker grille like the front speakers! How they missed it is amazing! Otherwise, I highly recommend this speaker. I haven't maxed it out, mostly because I don't want my neighbors calling me bullshit, but I know this thing can easily fill a room with sound. It's not exactly a party speaker, but it comes very close.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Good but not great
