ECOXGEAREcoBoulder+ GDI-EXBLD810 Rugged Waterproof Floating Portable Bluetooth Wireless 100 Watt Speaker and PA System (Gray)

I purchased this product mainly for tailgating during football season. So far it has been great.Pros:Definitely waterproof. We put this to the test when it rained for multiple hours during one of our tailgates.Durable. Feels extremely sturdy. I am not worried about the speaker being damaged even with rowdy tailgaters around. I do somewhat worry about the longevity of the handle however, as it does not feel as sturdy.Sound Quality. As others have stated. The sound quality is good. It is not audiophile level but that is not what this speaker is made to be. Even at higher volumes the speaker is crisp and clear.Battery. I have had the speaker playing on full volume for over 8 hours on one occasion and it did not die.Portability. the handle and wheels make it so easy to move around and people love it when you pop up the handle and start wheeling.Cons:Weight. The speaker is a little heavy. I do not mind it and the wheels provide easy of movement, but I could see how this would be an issue for some people.Volume (Somewhat). This speaker was audible throughout a large tailgate of 60+ people on a golf course, but not loud unless you were near the speaker. With less people/less area to cover the speaker is quite loud.Bass. The speaker does not put out a lot of bass. You can turn up the EQ but it will never be booming.The other Con is that the speaker projects its sound straight forward, almost too much so. It does not project much to the periphery, so that sound is much quieter to the side or diagonal from the front of the speaker.Overall I love the speaker and it serves my needs extremely well. Many of the issues I have pointed out could be resolved with the purchase of another speaker and connecting the two, which may happen for me in the future. I would highly recommend this speaker if you need a portable, battery powered speaker that can withstand tough conditions and still put out loud, high-quality sound.

I spent a lot of time trying to decide which outdoor speaker to buy for my river camping trip and settled on this one. I made the right choice. II was mostly worried whether this would truly crank and it does. It's very loud - I used it at a campsite surrounded by other loud campsites and had no problem being heard at medium volume. When I turned it up I blasted everyone away which was fun. :) It's very tough and rugged and pretty easy to move around. I only took it into the water once and it floated and was totally waterproof. I thought I would miss the lack of waterproof phone compartment, but I found that I was pretty much always using my phone to DJ so didn't really need it. Battery life was also great - lasted through a three day weekend at many hours at loud volume before it got low. WiFi was very strong even when I walked at least 75 feet away.Now, if you're looking for a pretty, classy-looking speaker with audiophile sound for your backyard soiree, this doesn't quite fit the bill. It's definitely more rugged/industrial-looking and the sound quality, while fine, is meant to be cranked, not over-analyzed. I was worried about the speaker only facing one direction but this was not a problem at all.So, put your worries aside like I did and go for it!

Have been searching for a durable "BIGGER" portable speaker to bring out to our softball and volleyball events and this is PERFECT!! It's got everything I was looking for...waterproof (IP67 so it can be completely submerged in water so don't have to worry the slightest about rain damaging it...did I mention IT FLOATS!), it's loud and sounds great (100 watts), great battery life (100 hrs. standby and 10 hrs. played at full volume), very rugged and well built so I don't feel like I have to be gentle with it. Has a 2.1amp USB port to charge your devices (quickly), It feels super heavy duty (weighs 25 lbs. but feels heavier). AM/FM radio but also super easy to connect your Bluetooth devices and has good range. Says 100ft which I would say is pushing it. I had it in my pocket and was maybe 60-70 feet away with no solid walls or anything between us except maybe a chain-link fence and I noticed some intermittent Bluetooth connectivity issues. One last thing. Make sure when buying this item you clarify whether it's the Eco Boulder or the Eco Boulder+. It may not matter to some but the first one I got, I returned because they sent me the regular Eco Boulder which doesn't come with a few updated features that I liked which are: 1) A removable waterproof storage bag (vs. a built-in waterproof storage compartment), 2) the built in cup holders, 3) a bottle opener, 4) a longer telescoping handle, bass and treble settings, & 5) Eco Talk which connects your Boulder+ to your phone's Siri or Ok Google Voice assistant. I think maybe it bothered me more that it advertised the Eco Boulder + so that's what I was expecting. To top things off it was on PRIME so FREE SHIPPING! Definitely worth the $200 and would recommend to anyone looking for a speaker this size.

The media could not be loaded. The Good:-LOUD-Easy to roll wheels-Can pair 2 together to get even more loud-Easy to set up via Bluetooth-Waterproof-Long lasting battery-Sound is good overall but there is a little distortion at max volume (but most speakers have this issue)-Rugged design-Good valueThe Bad:-Not the cheapest and largeThe Bottom Line:So I bought these for a large picnic we hosted and it was outdoor at a park. I was looking for a loud Bluetooth speaker which I could pair together to really blast the music (I purchased 2 of these) These were a good value for how loud they are and the ability to pair (way cheaper than a DJ and I can reuse these speakers). The speakers are definitely on the larger side but they have wheels and a telescoping handle which makes it easy to roll. The set up is fast and simple via Bluetooth. The speakers are waterproof but I didn’t really test that. The battery life was outstanding and lasted most of the day at max volume. Overall if you want a loud outdoor Bluetooth speaker, give these a shot!
