Gear Junkie: Bluetooth Speaker Built Like a Tank

 

As an owner of a plethora of outdoor speakers, I was eager to test the burly-looking Turtlebox Gen 2. It’s marketed as the “toughest” and “loudest” outdoor speaker ever made. It’s supposed to be dunkable and droppable and allegedly produces such thunderous bass it can cut through the boom of a boat engine, the raucous rev of an ATV, or a clamorous crowd of campers.

I got ahold of a sample of the Turtlebox to see for myself. This speaker came with me fly fishing on the outer banks, swimming and sunning on Lake Michigan, and to backyard barbeques with friends and family. I even fully submerged the Turtlebox in a water cooler for 1 month to see how it would withstand a lengthy soak. (Spoiler: It worked totally fine afterward.) Read the full story here.
