I had read about these speakers for several months while researching a loud outdoor speaker. I previously used several JBL speakers of different sizes. The Turtlebox blows everything I've heard away! Suck loud and clear sound, from a speaker of this size? I am so glad I bought this! You get what you pay for.
Worth every penny. The box is SOLID, the case feels like a hardened plastic enclosure holding a brick wrapped in lead! That's battery quality for you. Looking inside at the amazing speakers, you can see some nice quality in the material used. It floats in the pool or river, just have 2 straps for redundancy or give a lucky river rat your nice Turtlebox. Lasts all day of Outdoor use easily, or several days of casual use. And you can use it as a very nice phone charger! Bluetooth intelligently picks up the last device, and I tested with 8 different bluetooth devices (dongles, laptops, and phones) and it picked up quickly and reliably, even with bluetooth chipsets that acted flaky with different bluetooth speakers.
The Turtlebox also is super durable, mine accidentally took a tumble several feet onto a patio deck, bouncing on the grill side, with no visible damage. Works reliably from silly distances across the yard. I use a listening distance of at least 10 feet, pointed at me. And the handle color choices are nice options, be creative! I LOVE TURTLEBOX! I must get a second Turtlebox!
