Powerful little boom box!

I bought this for my husband to use while sitting outside on our patio. This bluetooth speaker was easy to set up and connect to our phones and performs better than we expected. The flashing lights sequence can be be changed and it creates a really nice ambiance at night. Highly recommend!

The Little Rocker with the BIG sound!

This little portable boom box is the little brither to the full size Block Rocker. They packed the full bass sound into a mini box. I LOVE IT! Its light weight and easy to carry makes it perfect for the park or beach. It actually fell out of my trunk when the tailgate lifted and i was afraid ut was broken. Nope, turned on and still rockin'. Love this little speaker with the big sound.

Superior Sound

This is a really great cordless, Bluetooth (among other inputs), weatherproof speaker. The size is perfect, one foot wide by almost one foot tall by 6 inches deep with a really nice handle. The sound quality is exceptional and the light shows are an added bonus. I like that you can control certain functions from the user-friendly app. You can also buy a second one to sync for stereo surround.
