iLive Water-Resistant Wireless Speaker with Built-in Rechargeable Battery - 8.27 x 1.8 x 3.82 Inches - Black (ISBW249B) Review

I bought this speaker to listen to music outside by the pool as it is waterproof. It's really convenient as it has a rechargeable battery and uses Bluetooth. I will say that the sound quality isn't the best - it tends to sound a bit hoarse/rattling when the music is on or on quieter tones. However, I'm not very picky about this, so I don't see it as a big deal, especially considering the price of this speaker. This speaker also often shows fingerprints. The convenience of the other features…

I tested the range with no obstacles and it lasted over 200 feet before dropping out. It also works well through walls, I could walk all over the house and it still had a connection. The speakers aren't very loud, but the sound is normal for such a small device. Not a ton of bass, but it doesn't sound tinny either. There's an AUX-in which is great, but I wish it had an AUX-out so I could hook it up to a larger wired system and still use a Bluetooth connection. .Otherwise it is a good product at

This is a very good rechargeable speaker. The volume gets loud enough and delivers a decent performance for its size and overcomes the warehouse noise I work in. Using the included micro USB charging cable, the FM tuner picks up all the stations I would expect with very minimal static buildup from the pair. Bluetooth connects and works well. On average I get 5-10 hours of playback on a single charge depending on the volume. (I can't comment on the waterproofing, but it's a nice feature just in…

I had a speaker that I used to listen to in the shower or while washing the car, it wasn't waterproof but it worked until my dog pushed it into the pool. And while the iLive isn't waterproof (I won't submerge it in water), I'm glad it's waterproof, so I can go back to listening to music with water in it. An accidental downpour or an accidental hose explosion won't harm him. It also has great sound, and what I like best is that it connects via USB (as well as Bluetooth and an aux port). I have a

In order not to repeat the functions already listed, the speaker is a good device. Rubberized on all sides and equipped with many options. Bluetooth had a long range, Aux-In worked like a champ. It initially took about two and a half hours to charge the battery and held the charge very well (depending on the volume). What could really be improved is the sound quality. Other ILive products I tried had the same problem. Excellent, functional products at a reasonable price, but the sound from the…

** Update, deducting a star because it tips over easily and the extra cable is junk. The speakers sound dull, but they sounded good! The design is slim, light and water-resistant, and it's actually quite powerful for a speaker of this size. It has multiple input functions that some didn't know you could play music with: Aux, Bluetooth, SD, USB and FM radio (I used it for AUX). walk. When you're working with the device, there's voice confirmation, which I don't think you can turn off, and it…
