I was thinking about buying this bad boy for my bass boat since I fish alone most of the time.

LINK

It is water proof, shock proof, and it floats. It also synchs to my iPhone so I can listen to playlists, pod casts, or ESPN radio. I like that it is small. My routine is to charge my boat batteries the night before so I can charge this radio at the same time.


Anybody here have any experience with this radio or other ones?

I've seen quite a few waterproof bluetooth speakers. I honestly can't tell the difference in sound between any of them. The last one I bought was like $20 and it sounds as good as my $100 one.

I'd save a little money and buy a cheaper one. They are great little speakers regardless of which one you buy.

Normally I am not a huge Altec Lansing fan but looking at the reviews on that would give me pretty good hope.

Bluetooth speakers are great for the boat. My only concern is they drain the battery on your phone when connected. If you would use it a lot I would suggest have a charging adaptor for your phone in case of an emergency.

It's smaller than a dollar bill.

I have a UE Boom that works great and I'm going to get a UE Megaboom shortly because you can link both simultaneously through bluetooth

I've been wanting to get one of these Altec waterproof speakers.

I listened to them in the store at Best Buy.

Super clear and as loud as you need a Bluetooth speaker. Plus it's waterproof

Go to best buy and you can compare all of them in person to see which has the sound that is best for you. I like the model Altec just below the one you posted.
