If you are looking for a room-filling speaker, the kind of speaker that rocks out a large space, this is not your speaker. But, if space is a premium, for whatever reason, and you are in the market for a very small speaker that makes a comparatively large amount of noise this may be your speaker.
This little cube measures about 1.6 inches on each side, comes with a little carabiner so that you can clip it to a backpack and listen as you hike. It also comes with a mini-USB cable to charge it.
The manufacturer claims it is waterproof (and show pictures of it in water). I will take their word for it. Four sides are covered with a rubberized material. The hole to charge the speaker has a little rubberized door that I have a hard time sealing shut (although my daughter does not - there must be a trick that I do not understand).
This speaker comes in four colors: black, blue, pink and camo. Mine is camo and sometimes the pattern makes the buttons a little hard to see. Not impossible, but tricky.
The same goes with pairing with my Samsung Galaxy 3. It does pair, but not as fast as other devices do. It usually takes more than one try and can take several.
For the money, there are bigger speakers out there but if you travel a lot and just want a little music in the tent or the hotel room than this may be worth the loss of some volume for gain in space in your suitcase.
I rate this speaker 4 stars out of 5. I took off a point for the issues with seeing the buttons and pairing with my phone.
As of the time of the writing of this review this Bluetooth speaker cost $31.88 on Amazon. Click here to check on current pricing: Jadaol®small Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker (camo)
.Note: I received a speaker in exchange for an honest review.
