ECOXGEAR - EcoBoulder Max Loudspeaker

good value, bluetooth, fm, lights, long lasting battery

If you enjoy spending time outdoors, this is the speaker you want. I bought this speaker 2 years ago after researching on how to build my own weatherproof, long-lasting speaker. The cost of this with the things it can do is a lot cheaper than building my own. Cup holders, bottle opener, the handle with wheels, the lights, the phone charger, this thing has it all! And it has gone all over with me, its been camping and on boats and rafts in rivers and lakes. It has always been stored in my midwestern garage while not in use so its been through the hot and cold weather. It uses a lead acid sealed battery. So take into consideration that they wear down over time. First year this thing would play all weekend without a problem. Second year it maybe lasted 8 hours. This year, im lucky to get 4 hours out of it. With that being said, its replaceable and EXTREMELY easy to replace. And not terribly expensive. The other bad thing is, I threw it into a river to show people that it was waterproof... When I did that, the bass speaker quit working. The next day it played like nothing happened. And when this goes on the river, its laid on its back and the speakers will hold water in them for hours at a time and still sound amazing. SO, dont submerge it and expect to replace the battery every few years. Im currently figuring out if a lithium battery can be supported by it and how long it will last. Thanks for reading my review!

I thought it was expensive but its worth every doller. Loud! Water proof! Easy to connect Bluetooth devices. I purchased to use at work. We work in a very noisy industry. This easily is loud enough to hear over all the other noise.

When I bought this, it was my second choice. I thought it was going to be a little gimmicky. I guess I got it because it was inexpensive and had the wattage I wanted. Turns out, it has quite good sound, the base is deep, the treble is high enough, and it gets quite loud without any extra amplification (was thinking i would need to install an equilizer app). Decided I would take it on a riverside camping trip to test it out. The sales pitch claims it would float. So I pulled it out in the river, and noticed bubbles rising from it! Turned out it was the handle filling up with water, and it was fine. It floats nicely on its back with about 6 inches up out of the water, speakers facing the sky. I leaned on it using it to buoy my 175 lb body without being able to sink it easily. I stretched out the handle and used it to tow the speaker behind me in the river. When I pulled it up out of the water and stood it up, all the water drained off it. It drained out of the handle casing and out of the cup holders on top because it is impressively well designed. I am pleased.

Bought this for a house party. It did not disappoint. Hours and hours of battery life. Easily portable. Would recommend.
