Review on πŸ”Š Altec Lansing IMW899 Soundbucket XL: Ultimate Rugged Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker with QI Wireless Charging and LED Lights (Black) by Charles You

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Poor sound quality but makes up for it with features

I've read so many positive reviews about the SoundBucket XL that I couldn't find any videos of it, but I couldn't resist $160. First off, for $160 this is a good speaker if you're looking for something loud. The cordless phone charger is pretty nice and the 360 sound is cool too. But in terms of sound I was very disappointed xs when I got a lemon but when I used the volume on my phone you could hear pops, hiss and distortion when adjusting the volume xs if this is a bad one Bluetooth means connection? I've never tried the aux cable to see if it has the same problem. I also noticed what sounded like a blown tweeter. The overall sound ID gives it a 5/10. The only other Bluetooth speakers I had are a Bose Soundlink Mini and a Beats by Dre Boombox. I will be returning this speaker and continue my search.

Pros
  • Handy
Cons
  • So far so good
