ECOXGEAR EcoBoulder+ GDI-EXBLD810 Rugged Waterproof Floating Portable Bluetooth Wireless 100 Watt Speaker and PA System (Gray)

I bought one in 2020 to use at my job where there is constantly water being splashed around, it is still working fine after 4 years other than the batteries doest charge like it used to but that's what batteries do over time. Loved it so much I bought 2 more for other departments at work and 1 for my own personal use. Would highly recommend.

I purchased this product mainly for tailgating during football season. So far it has been great.Pros:Definitely waterproof. We put this to the test when it rained for multiple hours during one of our tailgates.Durable. Feels extremely sturdy. I am not worried about the speaker being damaged even with rowdy tailgaters around. I do somewhat worry about the longevity of the handle however, as it does not feel as sturdy.Sound Quality. As others have stated. The sound quality is good. It is not audiophile level but that is not what this speaker is made to be. Even at higher volumes the speaker is crisp and clear.Battery. I have had the speaker playing on full volume for over 8 hours on one occasion and it did not die.Portability. the handle and wheels make it so easy to move around and people love it when you pop up the handle and start wheeling.Cons:Weight. The speaker is a little heavy. I do not mind it and the wheels provide easy of movement, but I could see how this would be an issue for some people.Volume (Somewhat). This speaker was audible throughout a large tailgate of 60+ people on a golf course, but not loud unless you were near the speaker. With less people/less area to cover the speaker is quite loud.Bass. The speaker does not put out a lot of bass. You can turn up the EQ but it will never be booming.The other Con is that the speaker projects its sound straight forward, almost too much so. It does not project much to the periphery, so that sound is much quieter to the side or diagonal from the front of the speaker.Overall I love the speaker and it serves my needs extremely well. Many of the issues I have pointed out could be resolved with the purchase of another speaker and connecting the two, which may happen for me in the future. I would highly recommend this speaker if you need a portable, battery powered speaker that can withstand tough conditions and still put out loud, high-quality sound.

The handle broke on it...can you get a replacement for it?Up date 11/20/24. What a great company, had a problem with the handle that broke and they sent out a replacement a couple days later. Now that's how a company responds to a problem. Will buy from them again in the future.

Have been searching for a durable "BIGGER" portable speaker to bring out to our softball and volleyball events and this is PERFECT!! It's got everything I was looking for...waterproof (IP67 so it can be completely submerged in water so don't have to worry the slightest about rain damaging it...did I mention IT FLOATS!), it's loud and sounds great (100 watts), great battery life (100 hrs. standby and 10 hrs. played at full volume), very rugged and well built so I don't feel like I have to be gentle with it. Has a 2.1amp USB port to charge your devices (quickly), It feels super heavy duty (weighs 25 lbs. but feels heavier). AM/FM radio but also super easy to connect your Bluetooth devices and has good range. Says 100ft which I would say is pushing it. I had it in my pocket and was maybe 60-70 feet away with no solid walls or anything between us except maybe a chain-link fence and I noticed some intermittent Bluetooth connectivity issues. One last thing. Make sure when buying this item you clarify whether it's the Eco Boulder or the Eco Boulder+. It may not matter to some but the first one I got, I returned because they sent me the regular Eco Boulder which doesn't come with a few updated features that I liked which are: 1) A removable waterproof storage bag (vs. a built-in waterproof storage compartment), 2) the built in cup holders, 3) a bottle opener, 4) a longer telescoping handle, bass and treble settings, & 5) Eco Talk which connects your Boulder+ to your phone's Siri or Ok Google Voice assistant. I think maybe it bothered me more that it advertised the Eco Boulder + so that's what I was expecting. To top things off it was on PRIME so FREE SHIPPING! Definitely worth the $200 and would recommend to anyone looking for a speaker this size.

UPDATE- Company is sending me a new replacement. they believe mine is defective.Will update again upon receipt of new one.Old unit definitely defective. New one definitely alot louder. Even got an upgrade with party lights. 44 different settings but I love the RED WHITE AND BLUE LIGHTS. Better equalizer adjustments.

The bass is very good which is always the biggest selling point for me, it's loud, has an equalizer for bass and treble, cup holder up top over all a great product and definitely worth the price
