Altec Lansing HydraBlast Wireless Portable Bluetooth Speaker, IP67 Waterproof for Parties, USB C Rechargeable Outdoor Speakers with Built in Phone Charger and LED Lights, 20 Hour Playtime (Black)

I love this little thing. It's one of the few BT speakers that doesn't have an over hyped bass sound. I wouldn't go so far as to call it audophile but it may be the the BT speaker for budget concious audiophiles. Unlike so many of the screehcy, boom and tinkle BT speakers, it has a smooth, clear mid range and non fatiguing highs. I alread have one on the boat so it's seen some rough service and salt spray which it has handled without problem. This one, which lives at home, has been in the shower with me and withstood that just fine. I haven't dunked it though they say you can. While I haven't done it yet, I like the idea of pairing them both together and tucking them behind stuff on the patio to play a barbecue playlist of the three B's, Brahms, Beethoven and Bachman Turner Overdrive.I also use this to make meotronome clicks louder when I play drums and for that, I kind of miss having a 1/8" stereo "AUX" jack but I understand that few peopple use these anymore and I can work around it. While we're talking about the lack of an AUX jack, I'll say that it found my phone easily, reconnects easily as a "known" device and I haven't had to deal with nuisance drop outs. Range is up to one or two rooms away or across the yard with a clear line of sight.Charging is USB C which thankfully is starting to become a standard. It's tiresome have to keep, and find ,3-4 different sizes of "small" usb plugs.Soundwise It's not super loud but punchy in its own way so while it's not a disco party dance speaker it's plenty enough for adult parties or as I use it, in the cockpit of the boat where I can easily hear it from as far away as I could throw it but remember, I'm 66 and have a bad throwing shoulder but you get the idea. Another good example is that If I leave it on the porch, I can hear it over the sound of a push lawn mower from 25 feet away and my neighbor can hear that Bachman Turner Overdrive is a guilty pleasure left over from a mispent youth in the 70's and 80's.

The highest quality speaker with crisp clean sound. Waterproof and submersible. The Altec Lansing brand name is in the same class as Boise and JBL. In fact the original designer of Altec Lansing speakers was James B Lansing himself. Altec Lansing speakers were used at the Woodstock concert back in 1969.

This is a very good sounding speaker. It sounds great with music. I mostly use it as a white nose machine. It connects quickly every time I turn it on and it charges my phone at the same time. I really like that it is everything proof. It is super heavy duty in construction and the battery lasts for a get long time.

This speaker has gets decently loud and has great sound quality. The battery leaves something to be desired.

this is great good sound
