JlabAudio Crasher XL Splashproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker, 30 WATTS of Audio Power, 13 hr Battery Life, Connect to Any Bluetooth® Device (Phone, Tablet, Computer and More)

Competitive pricing, great speaker for laptop, phone, tablet, alexa, whatever. Easy to pair, has a tripod or mounting bracket, almost like you could use these as individual speakers on array if you wanted. Battery life isn't QUITE 12 hours like it advertises, but it is pretty close, charges from almost any USB outlet, or battery bank. The aluminum shell is prone to small dents and dings but only seems to add to the rugged character, and isn't too harsh. The most important part is protecting the vital components witch it seems to do well, while offering ease of disassembly for modification or repair, later in it's lifespan. Without sacrificing durability and water resistance.Have really enjoyed it, as it's sound quality rivals that of an expensive, large 80's boom box. And it connects to anything you want really, with a supportive input jack. It definitely competes with, or surpasses the JBL or Bose you are probably comparing it to. Deep base, wide response range, and clever acoustics. Sounds larger than it is.

A quick disclaimer: I ordered this speaker after a solid history of enjoying JLAB products. Really nice performance for the price point!However, the speaker I received was clearly not new, with dust and fingerprints on it, so I am unsure as to whether the speaker’s performance is what should be expected or not. The sound is fine, with decent lows and highs for its size, but who knows?It’s built well, and easily connects to Bluetooth.Look into the seller before purchasing. I ordered this from RE-COM, who uses Amazon to sell overstock and CUSTOMER RETURNS. I assume my speaker, although termed “new,” was a return and has had some use already.

Neat little boom box speaker. Blue tooth. Loud good sound. Also own a mini older version Sat unused like 4yrs dead. Charged right up works still. Great sound in both. Very impressive.

I buy for a new item but received unsealed box... Looks used item was shipped...

My need was for a decent sounding (was not looking for HiFi/audiphile) BT speakers to use primarily at home, but rugged/sealed enough to bring it out to backyard or picnic site. After a bit of research and reviews I decided this set match my needs at a pretty decent price. Setup was a breeze and within minutes I was already listening to it while I worked. The sound is quite bassy, but not overwhelmingly so (it reminds me a lot of Bose's rich, deep bass). Mids are just OK while highs are adequate. It plays quite loud w/o noticeable distortion or mottling (though I never listen to them past 25-30%), but the power is there should you need it. This unit is "semi-portable" in that while it won't encumber you in any noticeable way, it's not small or light enough you can just toss in your backpack and forget about it (at least the XL version). I purchased the Gunmetal color so that it could blend with the rest of the electronics and looks pretty great. In all, if you're looking for a good middle-range BT speakers you can listen to at home and on occasion take it outdoors you cannot go wrong with this set.
