The media could not be loaded. Hey, its Danny. I just had this delivered to the house, I'll be home from Afghanistan in a few days so I thought I'd ship it home to try it out and if it can handle what I throw at it I'll be shipping it out to Afghanistan for the crew to use! (UPDATE) Alright guys, Danny's back! I left the first ever review on this bad boy and its time for my update. This speaker is taking everything ive thrown at it. Ive had it blairing on the flightline in Afghanistan as jets take off and ive had it on the boat back in Tennessee, Ive had it playing quietly on the desk and Weve had it outside the helicopter while were doing maintenance and it just makes a better day, the battery would make the energizer bunny jealous. The speaker gets used about 10 hours a day ( usually has about 50% to 25% charge left) and i keep it charged regularly. So far the battery shows no sign of degradation. Its been doused in water countless times and has been left to cook in the heat. I carry it twice a day in my back pack about a half mile to my bunk, 20 lbs aint nothin. I have had 0 connection issues, 0 battery issues, and no set backs. Volume down low its crisp and clean, ive only ever had to turn it up to 70% volume ( work in a crazy loud environment and it stands up to the task) and it just spools power and remains crystal clear, no distortion ( tons of bass up loud). I am probably the first owner of this speaker and if youre looking for a great speaker for the money id stop looking and get it!!! Also its very dusty out here in the mountains of Afghanistan and it being ip67 i have no issues with dust getting in, when it needs cleaning i just spray the hose over it and shes good to go.(1 YEAR UPDATE)Alrighty, I've had this speaker since it was first released, it performs as well as the day I bought it, it has a few dents in the screen, a few nicks and scratches but they're all battle scars, it's as waterproof as advertised still, all the gaskets, lights, buttons, and speakers are perfectly in tact. Even the printing on the buttons is still like new. The sound quality is amazing and it has become a part of the team in Afghanistan, we dont go out without it!1.5 years.Still going strong folks. I paid over $200 for it when it was first released and it was worth every penny. I use it alot more than it may have been intended but it has had absolutely no issues. I have gotten it to full volume a few times out on the flight line and to put it into prospective, I have walked into the hanger ~ 600 ft away and could still make out what song was playing easily, In a somewhat calm environment. This can handle any back yard get together. I'd like to add that this speaker has had around 20-30 people sync their phones to it with no issues( many different types of phones & brands)4 year update.Well, I've had this since they released it and I'm not going to lie, this speaker has been absolutely neglected. The worst was leaving it in a metal shipping container for a whole summer in kuwait after we pulled out of Afghanistan, ambient temperatures in there daily around 150°f. I did replace the battery to be safe after... not because it was bad but I was unsure of its integrity. It's been a good speaker and still running strong, still water proof and no issues. 10/10 would recommend.The video is it on its natural state, we wash it off once in a while.

Nothing

1 Year Update: Both speakers going great! Love the stereo feature combining both the speakers. Also a shout out to Lynda at Ecoxgear for her excellent responsiveness for any questions I have had with the setup.A truly rugged speaker, works just fine even if you throw it in the pool, or leave it out in the Sun!This is our second speaker of the exact same kind. We bought the first one many years ago, primarily to take it to Drive-In theaters. With it's FM radio and long battery life, not just us but many cars around us enjoyed the 4-speaker sound from this unit.Fast forward many years, and one day it stopped working , so I ordered a new one from Amazon. Just as I was to recycle the old unit, I reached out to ECOXGEAR to see if they could do anything for a way out of warranty speaker. To my surprise, they said they would fix it! And when I sent it in, they sent me a new factory certified unit. Kudos for their service.Now that we have 2 of these speakers, we use them in a special mode (built-in), where you can use one speaker as a Left speaker and another as a Right speaker to get a Stereo sound with depth. Works great with Bluetooth to play music at poolside parties, or with an outdoor projector to make the movies a deeper sound.The only downside is that the speaker is heavy. Not an issue for me, but if you want to carry it around, you will build some strong shoulder muscles.

I bought it for my dad. He works in all kinds of weather doing repairs working next to the pool working in his woodshop I needed something as rugged as him. The battery is insane a replacement batteries cheaper than buying a new speaker. I just purchased one for myself because I loved his so much. Yes it is about 20 pounds so it is heavy but that’s mostly the speakers because of its serious base. I would recommend this thing for any tailgate or anything you capable of it is splash proof waterproof to a certain extent which is true and it doesn’t overheat. It’s amazing.

Just received the new Eco Trek unit. Charged the unit prior to using for 8 hours as required by the users manual. After 8 hours of charging the unit looked to still be charging. I then turned the unit on and everything looks like is was working. Then I unplugged the unit to take outside and it quit playing and turned off, could not turn back on unless plugged up.I then reached out to the Eco Trek Customer Service, explained my issue/concern and within 1 hour they replied and offered to send me a new battery. So for now, I am somewhat pleased but when I receive the new battery and all works after that then I will be totally satisfied. I would recommend this unit, just must have had an oversight with the quality checks of the new batteries in the new units?

Nice stereo for the price

Bought in 2022 and now, all of a sudden, it won’t stay on unless it is plugged into power. Fully charged, stays on for about a minute. We bought this for outdoors where we don’t have a plug in, so it’s a shame it’s not working correctly.
