Scosche BTMSMSC1 BoomBottle MS MagSafe Magnetic Bluetooth Speaker - Portable Wireless Magnetic Speakers for Devices, Bikes, Golf Carts, and More - Waterproof speaker with Integrated MagicMount - Black

Ever since I’ve had my first BoomBottle I’ve been a fan. It worked for years without issues. This one arrived defective. The battery indicator shows a full charge but the buttons don’t work. They do nothing. Where is their quality control?? It’s going back for a replacement. I will update my review if the second one works like it’s supposed to.**UPDATE** The replacement unit works fine and sounds great. I must have received a dud the first time. The Bluetooth connection paired easily with my iPhone 15 Pro. Amazon quickly approved a return of the defective unit and send sent me a replacement right away. Scosche customer service also assured me that if the return process with Amazon went awry they would send me a replacement at no charge, so that was a nice offer on their part. All in all I'm happy with my purchase, once the rough start was cleared up.

I purchased a Boombottle several years ago. I take this thing every where, the beach, bike rides, camping pool side, the park and in the garage. I use it mostly in the garage, where I also have an Echo Dot, but choose to use the BoomBootle, due to its sound, not having to be plugged in and its magnets. The magnets makes it possible to stick it anywhere, but mostly I stick on the open garage door, outside down, so the music may be heard inside and outside. Once or twice, I had forgotten the BoomBottle was left on the garage door, shut the garage, only to find it still stuck to the garage door the next day. The magnet is impressively strong. My BoomBootle is about 5 years old and still holds a charge well. I am able to play music for hours without plugging it in. This thing is great.

I've used this BoomBottle MM from the beach to Zion nation park and i love it so much, the design is great with a magnetic bottom and top and it even has a bottle opener.It comes with a steel plate that you can stick anywhere and the BoomBottle will stick to that or any peace of metal like your car or fit into a cup holder.the sound is big and clear and its light enough to hike with but loud enough for everyone to hear, it's also water proof and the battery last a really long time!Its a all-around perfect bluetooth speaker and i'm super stoked i got it!!!

Worst sounding speaker I've ever heard. I honestly thing you would have to purposely try to make this sound worse.

This is the best speaker I've found for the golf course. It was always a challenge finding a solution for where to put my phone if my cup holders were occupied by speakers and beverages. I never liked putting my phone in the storage bin to be bounced around while carting around the course. Now I just put the BoomBottle in a cup holder then place my phone wrapped in a magnetic friends case on top of the speaker and voila! The only area of improvement I would suggest is sound quality. I know, I know. That's one of the primary reasons for buying a speaker but I'm not saying the sound is terrible. It can just be improved. If you're looking for amazing sound quality check out the EarFun UBOOM. Wow!

I had an older version of this that worked great. Apparently, quality has gone downhill. Dead and unchargeable out of the box. Had to send back.Bought the JBL Flip 6- much better quality and sound!

This speaker puts out great sound and even on the lowest volume you can enjoy what you’re listening to perfectly. Easily sinks up to your device through Bluetooth and I love using it when I golf because the speaker fits nicely in the drink cup holder. I have found that the charge life is pretty true to the 12 hours. It comes with a USB charger, a cigarette lighter adapter and a carabiner which makes it easy to take anywhere.

For quite some time I've used a Scosche BoomBottle H2O (BTH2O) at work when operating heavy machinery. I purchased this one because I liked the magnetic feature; I can just stick it almost anywhere in my machine (as opposed to the BTH2O that had a carabiner attached, I'd have to find a place to clip it, and it would get a little beat up swinging around and smacking against things) and because it should be louder (5 watts vs 12 watts).The magnetic feature is nice so I'll leave that alone but the volume really doesn't feel much louder than my old BTH2O. If it is louder, it isn't noticeable in that environment. You can hear songs for the most part but I don't know how much of that is actually hearing them and how much is memory filling in gaps because I'm familiar with them. I don't think it's loud enough to listen to an audio-book in a noisy environment like that but maybe I'll try it and update my review.The advertised battery life of 12 hours is inaccurate. I started listening to music at 9am and by 11am it was completely turned-itself-off dead and the second hour of the two it worked was accompanied with my music muting for the MM to broadcast "low battery" chimes every few minutes.In the pictures on Scosche's website (and here) they've got it in rugged outdoor environments so I was expecting the mesh over the speaker to be metal (or maybe even plastic) but it has a layer of fabric which seems out of place for something advertised as being tossed into the sand and snow and it doesn't feel natural rinsing it off under a faucet after a day of collecting road dust. Better put; it feels delicate in comparison to my BTH2O. It seems Scosche was trying to go for an elegant feel rather than a rugged industrial/maritime/sportsman feel which is one of the things I like about my BTH2O. I'm skeptical as to how the long it will last before that fabric is aesthetically unattractive or half gone. (In fact the first one I received I returned immediately because that fabric was frayed and separating from the speaker right out of the package).I don't know if it's fair to have this in a review or not being I could easily see the colors before making a purchase (although gray wasn't available when I did) but I would have liked better color choices. I never moved on to a BoomBottle+ because all the color schemes remind me of children's toys. Now the choices they offer on the MM seem like artsy was their goal. ... What was wrong with the solid yellow I can easily spot bobbing along the river next to my inner-tube or quickly pick out from the tools sitting on my work bench?I haven't decided yet if the convenience of the magnets is a strong enough feature to carry the shortcomings. ... I'll probably return it.
