So LOUD, great value for the money!
Very loud! Nice for work setting, great for car too. Holds charge and can charge in two places, can also charge it and phone at same time. Looks cool, very light to carry, also am/fm works.

Big sound in a mobile unit.
Heck yeah. This is a nice medium sized music box. Seems heavy duty and works well

not too heavy, has an EQ to control sound and a good FM tuner
I mainly bought this for the FM tuner to listen to sports and talk radio. I was pleasantly surprised at the audio quality if you change the default settings. I’m not sure how the Bass button works. probably like the Loud button on old stereos.the FM tuner is powerful compared to the other bluetooth speaker I tried that didn’t pickup any stations like it was defective.I kinda want to get the bigger wattage models now to take to sport event tailgates.

More good than bad but you can probably do better by downsizing
Not bad. There are smaller units with better bass, the overall sound quality is okay but not great and the battery life is pretty short. But it accepts jump drives, charges easily, has a sturdy case and is of a convenient size. And you won’t get blasted with unnecessary lights if you want to use this in a dark room. Given the sound quality it is unnecessarily large.

Good Choice
This has great sound. We use it outside in the yard as well as on the boat.

good sound but questionable build quality
Bought this unit about 3 1/2 months ago in September 2025. Unit arrived in good working condition but after 3 months of use the usb port on the back of the unit broke off inside the unit so it can no longer be used or charged. I haven’t tried taking it apart to see if it can be soldered back on to the circuit board. Disappointed it was such a weak point that it broke so easily. So now it is not usable. It did work well and sound quality was good too prior to it breaking.

Ion Tailgater Boom speaker
Love these speakers. I bought 2 for my tv. The linking system works great. I plan on buying 2 more. Very easy setup and they sound great.

Great powerful sound with pumping bass and good battery life
Great powerful sound with pumping bass and good battery lifeThis speaker has great sound for a smaller speaker that doesn’t need wheels to move it. The battery life is decent as it will last 10-13 hours at half volume. Did I say it has great bass? It does and has a boom mode that really gives the lows a boost. The eq. helps boost the highs and lows while cutting the mids which counters the speakers natural frequency response.Cons? No lights. Stereo Link only works when using Bluetooth mode. I would have purchased another speaker for stereo sound but I don’t use Bluetooth to stream my music I use a FM transmitter and tune all stereos speakers and radios throughout my home and property to my station. I guess the only option I have for stereo is to connect a fm walkman to the aux port on each speaker using a cable that can single out the R and L channels and feed them into each speaker respectively. The only issue with this method is the battery life of those fm walkmans are too short. I mean only 5 hours? I need at least 15. Anyway, this speaker gets 5 stars as it has great sound for a reasonable price. You won’t be sorry if you buy one.

Pero si quieres una bocina ruidosa, relativamente compacta y de buen precio esta es una excelente opción, su diseño corrugado aguanta la carrilla, multiples entradas de sonido, obvio la mas común es por BT pero tambien acepta USB, cuenta con radio y con conector de microfono para karaoke.Como digo la calidad de sonido no es fantastica, pero tampoco es mala, tiene buenos bajos, y es posible equalizarla a tu oreferencia.

So far I am impressed. Speaker is very light and the sound quality is pretty good for the size of the speaker. App is easy enough to use. As long as battery lasts and continues to last I will be super impressed. I have only had for a few weeks so we will see.
