Our quick verdict
A tough, waterproof little speaker that goes loud and handles knocks and rain. Audio purists may find the mids a bit thin, but for beaches, gardens and travel it’s a great pick, especially at this discount.
Great for
- Beach, garden and camping trips
- A tough gift for teens
- Anyone who needs a waterproof speaker
Skip it if
- You want the fullest, most balanced sound for indoor listening

What reviewers and buyers say
What Hi-Fi? praises the rugged, shockproof build, the clear sound and how well it handles high volumes, giving it full marks for features and build.
It found the midrange thinner than the best rivals, and the sound can feel thin with the bass boost off.
