TREBLAB Ultra-Rugged Bluetooth Speaker, Durable Shockproof Body, Waterproof, 20W Portable Outdoor Stereo Speaker, 35H Battery, Wireless Power Bank for Hiking, Picnic, Pool, Camping, Jobsite, FX100

After three years of ownership, I need to sayFirst of all the build quality is incredible, and value for money is out of this world. It is very functional and the sound is clear and high-quality. It is very portable and you can take it anywhere and you can also use it as an emergency power bank, which comes in very handy. You can easily use it for four hours straight without needing to recharge so that’s plenty of power

So I got this speaker for myself in 2022, and was very impressed with its quality for its price. Last year, my teenage son was borrowing it and was using it outside with some of his friends. One of his friends threw it on the roof, where it stayed until today. I live in North Carolina, so since it had been on the roof, it has rained, snowed, we’ve had sleet, it’s been hot, and below 20 degrees.When I got it off the roof today, I tried turning it on just to see what it would do (mind you, it hadn’t been charged in months). To my amazement, it turned on, and when it said “power on. Bluetooth mode” it sounded clear as a bell. So I connected it to my phone. It connected immediately with no issue. I then played a song on my phone, and the music coming out of the speaker was just as clear as always whether the volume was up or down. Also, there is a protective cover that protects the charging port, and USB. My son had torn that off before it ever ended up on the roof.I’m not saying this speaker is totally indestructible, I’ve never seen what it would do after being submerged, and I don’t intend to press my luck, but it has earned a 5 start review from me to be sure.

I purchased this to allow the folks attending the nursery (in our church) to be able to hear the sermon. While the sound quality isn't very beefy (I've grown accustomed to my Bluetooth Bose Mini which has rather remarkable bass response) it's perfect for voice, which is precisely what we need it for ... and beside that, it's waaaaay less expensive than the Bose, so I can't really complain.It's very easy to operate, with volume controls clearly marked (they also act as advancing the track if you're listening to iTunes, or Spotify, etc., if you press the button with short presses) and is accomplished by pressing and holding the button. Easy to turn on and off, and has a blinking blue/red light for pairing.I haven't had the opportunity to see how shockproof it is, although I'd imagine that if one of the kids in the nursery got ahold of it, the most abuse it might receive would be a little pounding of tiny soft hands and perhaps a bit of slobber, which is good that it's water-resistant. I do suppose baby hands might be able to rip off the flexible rubber end cover that hides the charging port.The battery life REALLY lasts a long time. I've used it now three times, which is typically a good full 2 hours each, which is still running on the original charge that it arrived to my house in. I haven't charged it yet, though I'll probably do so next week, just to be safe :)So it's a rather decent little speaker for (comparatively) very little money. The folks in the nursery are happy with it, so I'm happy with it.

These are my camping speakers, and they work great. Decent sound quality, no they do not advertise thumping bass for this model. So if that is what you want you will need to buy a different speaker. But for camping I am more interested in the battery pack each one of these has (I have two). You also get a built in am/fm radio. Treblabs makes a great strap for these speakers. Staps hold tight and can take a good bounce and your speakers are safely still mounted.

I bought my first FX100 in July of 2017. When it finally died the other day, and I looked up the original order, I couldn't believe it had actually been that long.I had used it everywhere, rain or shine, for everything. The massive battery life was amazing, and it spent the last several years strapped to my bike, taking it off just once in a while to recharge.Are there speakers that sound better? Yes. But for its size, weatherproofing and ultimate portability, you just can't beat it. One of the great features is the microphone that allows you to have phone conversations over the speaker. People on the other end always said they heard me loud and clear.The new one arrived today. It's very much the same, only updated. It's now USB-C charging instead of micro-USB. The unit now has voice prompts where there used to be beeps. The sound quality and weatherproofing/ruggedizing is exactly the same.I guess I'll buy another one in 2029.

It did come fully charged out of the box. Only thing I didn’t know that I should have read in the product description is about the changes they have made to it. They said that they hold the right to make any changes to their products that they see necessary. I watched a couple videos on this speaker. There isn’t an Auxiliary Port or cable.EDIT: Changing from 5 to 1. I use Amazon Music Unlimited to listen to music. Holding down the “>+” for a couple seconds doesn’t work. Neither does tapping it. It’s a nuisance! You have to hit “Play/Pause” and 99.99% of the time it will skip the next two tracks. Which just adds insult to injury. What’s even more confusing is before posting this, the online manual on here says to go to next track tap “>+”. In the booklet it says to hold it. So, which one is it? The only remedy around this is to control with the phone. Another issue is that when you hit this skip button and it doesn’t work then a little over 2 minutes into the songs it just cuts out and skips to the next song. I am not sure if this is an Amazon Music issue? I have an IPhone 13. So, I don’t think that is it? I will say that the seller electronic manual should reflect everything as seen in the paper manual.
