Altec LansingLifeJacket XL Jolt with Lights, Built In Qi Wireless Charger, Waterproof, Snowproof, Shockproof and it Floats in Water, Up to 20 Hour Battery Life, Black

I’m always on the hunt for a speaker that has great full range sound that’s also affordable. Many years ago I spent about $300 on a Jawbone Big Jambox. For a party/house speaker, it really did the job. However, over the years it’s got a bit beat up, and the battery life has been diminishing.For a few years now, I’ve been hunting for a budget, rugged, full range speaker that I can listen to all types of music on.. from classical, hip hop, to rock. I’ve tried many of the budget speakers here on Amazon, and they’ve all fallen short — weak lows without any punch, flat mid/upper ranges.. but I’ve finally found my Big Jambox replacement in this speaker.To be specific, this is a review for the Altex IWM790L LifeJacket XL Jolt with lighting effects. Mind you, I’ve only unboxed and been playing with it for a day.. but dang, I’m very happy.The default Spotify flat EQ settings sound good. But man, when I dial up the bass on the EQ, it sounds a lot fuller.. and when I place it against my wall, it really resonates beautifully. So, if you’re a bass head that wants crazy thumping, this speaker can deliver, especially if you dial up the lows on an equalizer.The wireless charging feature (rest phone on top to charge) is nifty, but not why I bought it. Also, wireless charging does work even with an Otterbox Defender case on an iPhone 10 Max, but not on my iPhone 11 Max with an Otterbox Defender. Not surprised, as the case is thick as a bank vault door.I like the fact that you can charge while using the speaker. Something that you could also do with the Big Jambox. Makes a difference to have the thing charged all the time!As for the ruggedness — I haven’t torture tested it yet, but based on all of the review videos on YouTube, I’ll trust that when I’m in a deluge or drop this into a puddle of mud, it’ll be just fine.I’ve listened to a bunch of tracks that I know very well.. from classical to hard rock, and it really is impressive. You won’t be disappointed.

I have been a fan of altec lansing for years, my 2 older lifejackets wasn’t loud enough for my side by side. So I decided to get another style of their speaker. I purchased a hydra boom speaker thinking it would be loud enough and have a decent battery life. I was very disappointed with it! It had no tweeter sound whatsoever. Battery life was very poor. So, I started looking at the older speakers from altec, I found that this speaker had a tweeter, so I ordered it from Amazon since it was on sale. I was pleasantly surprised at the sound, and it’s loud enough to be heard in my side by side.I was so pleased with it that I ordered another one! My only gripe is they are hard to get paired together, and battery life isn’t the best but it’s acceptable. If you want a speaker that has more than bass sound then I recommend it! If you only looking for bass sound then I would buy another brand of their speakers. I think altec lansing is leaning more toward bass sounding speakers now other than music.

Love this speaker. I was on the fence between this or a more expensive brand speaker. I’ve gotta say, I’m very happy I went with this one due to its many features. Most portable speakers can say they’re water resistant but not water proof like the life jacket. Not to mention- it floats, it’s padded for rugged use, and the icing on the cake is the wireless charging! I mean who wants to carry a cable around to charge your phone with your “Wireless” Bluetooth Speaker? Seriously, being “wireless” is the whole point!! Highly recommend this speaker and it's a great value for the price.

They are well bilt and loud for their size

I purchased this unit as well and the advertised compatible Lifejacket mini, specifically because they were advertised to link together to play music. This is not the case. The two units have never linked in the weeks of trying daily. Furthermore, customer service is horrible. I don't believe any humans are involved. First there was email that simply sent the same instructions that were in the package. When I replied to their response that the instructions did not work, the second response provided a phone number to call but specifically noted that the company does not refund or replace any device once purchased. I called the phone number provided which was a recording instructing me to leave a recording with item information and contact information. I have done this multiple times over the course of a week with no response. The last time I pressed 0 to speak with and operator which was another recording.In summary, the device is faulty. and the company would appear to be a sham. I purchased specifically to get the linking capability which seems to be nonexistent.The device plays music fine, but not any better than much less expensive devices. Don't waste you money.

I bought this to replace another speaker I dropped and broke. It is a little bigger than I was expecting, but it has good sound quality for the price range. I would recommend it for a small room or small outdoor area.

This is my second speaker, the first one was a life jacket 2, it was amazing and I even tried to drown it in a pool 6 feet deep (don’t recommend anyone doing) but it didn’t even skip a beat. It’s still kicking around somewhere but I lost it and I’m about to go on a trip so I had to get another. The sound quality is really good when you make your expectations realistic to what you’re getting which is a wireless charging waterproof speaker for under $100. I knew immediately when I lost my other speaker I was going for an Altec Lancing speaker because the last one exceeded my expectations. I will update this in a few months if there are any issues, but if this is unedited then nothing but excellence has occurred

The media could not be loaded. Sound quality is clear, battery life lasts me easily my 15 hr work shift :), they’ve come down in price over the years it’s a great buy! Light enough to put in my backpack to skate with I enjoy traveling around while still being loud enough for my friends to hear.

Para su tamaño

This product is great. Just what I was in the market for. Battery life is perfect. I like I can see the battery life on my phone display. That helps a lot.

j'ai possédé au paravent la version un peu plus petite que celle-ci et le son était de meilleur qualité et la basse sonnait mieux.. pour la grosseur de ce haut-parleur je m'attendais à un son beaucoup mieux!

Esta muy padre la bosina la recomiendo llego muy rapido

The media could not be loaded. No me gustó porqué no son las medidas que dice y es mucho más chica que la que ya tengo de años.
