X21 Portable Bluetooth Outdoor Speaker for Girls Wireless Bluetooth Speaker Waterproof with FM Radio, Micro SD Card Slot, Aux-in for Girls, Ladies (Pink)

I was looking for a replacement for my boom box of many years and needed something with an FM radio to use at the drive in. This fit the bill and was loud enough with great sound to be enjoyed outside. Looking forward to hanging out under the stars watching a good movie with my family and friends.

6/2022, Tampa, the reviews were good and I am no speaker expert, I got for the FM feature to listen to music by the pool (30ft x 60ft) mostly alone in evenings, ( the SD card and Bluetooth are nice and maybe I'll use them later ), buttons just take a few times to learn, but really not difficult, radio stations you learn as you go, find one you like and it stays there ( it keeps the last station listened to ), put volume guessing 90% heard clear from well over 120 feet away, totally amazing how clear it was. At max 100% volume not as clear heard distortion but that is with any speaker. At guessing 80% volume heard all throughout the pool area loud and clear sound, the person walking in the road near the pool about 60 feet away to the side said he could hear it when I asked, and the speaker wasn't facing the road. Sitting in the chair volume guessing 20% very clear, didn't need to raise the volume on a great song. Key point is that the sound carries without deafening your ears unless you are right in front of the speaker for the loudest sound, everywhere else it is clearly heard and can still talk to people. It is amazing how such a little speaker can produce clear sounds at such a far distance! The base sound is decent for its size, not meant to rattle the windows. All pitches lows to highs sound good. Remember this is a small speaker box and not the 8 speaker surround sound for the TV. It did mention pairing with Bluetooth if you wanted surround sound. It is IPX6 water resistant against high pressure streams of water meant for showers, rain, wet hands, and splashes at the pool, not rated to be submerged in water ( I researched that before buying ). Not sure of battery life as not used it much, but 10 hours advertised is good for me. The tie strap to carry it and key chain work great to hold the clubhouse key and car key and to keep the speaker facing out to the pool area. It does tell you what mode it is in when turning it off or on ( default to Bluetooth ) then FM, etc, but that one or two seconds of stating the mode is no issue for me. It advertised something about hands free calls if I remember correctly, but that is not what I wanted it for, I want to get away from the phone and not have calls on speaker with people around. It is nice to know I have multiple feature I can use if I choose to. It's nice to have a small water resistant radio at the pool without it looking like a boom box, no antenna sticking up, and no data usage on my phone ( it stays in the car ).

Love the FM radio feature. Has great sound

Very rugged. Great sound. Like you can blue tooth or pick up radio channels. Use at our lake all the time. Highly recommend.

Love this speaker for playing music via Bluetooth from my phone.

Works great! Love the fm feature

Seeking an alternative and then I’ll return this or give it away.This would work okay strictly as a bluetooth speaker, but the controls make the FM function hard to use. I purchased it because the FM radio in my old truck went out and I also do a lot of fishing and camping in remote areas where I just want FM to save my phone battery.HOW IT IS: The +/- button are short press to seek FM stations and long press to change the volume. If you want to fine tune the volume you’ll likely either change the station or adjust the volume more than you want.HOW IT SHOULD BE: +/- short press to change volume and long press to seek FM stations. This way when you press long enough to change stations it goes silent until the next station is found and changing volume is in small steps.The volume setting isn’t saved between power cycles and it’s louder than you probably want by default.All in all, the UX (user experience) design is terrible for use as a stand alone FM speaker.

It works great, I bought this because I like to listen to music while taking hot baths.

Everything is great except that you cant change the volume on the device only through your phone if playing through it.

The speaker wont charge any more or turn on less than 6 months old and not a lot of use

The sound was awesome then it stopped working. It wouldn’t charge or sync. Returning this for a refund was a pain and cost money to send back for something that is broken it was frustrating. Its a shame because the product was good when it worked. But only lasted 2 months
