Great sound

When I first opened I thought it was small but wow!! The sound quality is crisp and packs some nice bass. My husband would prefer if to be a little louder but I think its great for a social gathering. The lights are a good quality and not distracting The battery lasts pretty long and it connected to my phone right away when I turned the speaker on. It’s a great size and perfect to bring along with the handle at the top.

ION Tailgater Speaker packs a punch!!!

Tailgater portable speaker is great value. I love using it around the house. It’s plenty loud that I never have it turned up all the way. The Bluetooth automatically connects to my phone when I turn it on. The battery lasts a long time as well. Haven’t had it run out on me yet. It has different EQ modes built in which I like because it’s easy to change with the press off a button.

ION Audio Tailgater TD

This speaker is all around amazing for both inside and outside use. I was worried that it would be too large but it is actually very compact, it is able to fit in a cube organizer I have. My only complaint is that ION Audio app, it is a little glitchy when trying to tune the bass, treble, etc. But you are able to tune it on the speaker itself. It projects the sound very loud and clear, the lights are a fun accessory to have on. The sound quality is phenomenal even compared to my Samsung sound bar with a subwoofer. I feel the bass more with this speaker.

Awesome!!! I wish I had a second one!!!

This is awesome!! It's relatively light weight and looks great. If you want to use it at a tailgate it's perfect. It isn't too bulky and it has great sound! The bass is punch and clear with minimal to no distortion. The kids are excellent and the highs are in point. There is a graphic equalizer function that adjusts Bass, Mids, and Highs. I love that it's USB-C charging and has a mix and auxillary input. Bluetooth pairing took a couple seconds and works flawlessly. It works at a really nice distance. I was at least 30 feet away without connection issues. The FM radio works well. An external antennas would have been helpful to help bring in some more stations. The ones I could hear sounded good. Battery life is great with a rated 10 hours. I used it at high volume for about 2 hours and the battery gauge barely budged. The lighting effects are cool and add a nice touch. I was unable to test the microphone option, so I cannot comment on that. Of note, it has the ability to pair 2 of these together. Makes me really wish I had another one. Great speaker!!!

Great Speaker

This speaker is very easy to set up. The instructions included are very simple and straight forward. All the important stuff, none of the technical mumbo-jumbo. My kids love the light show, and constantly ask me to turn on some music so they can watch the changing lights. The quality is good, however I’m not a fan of the app. For some reason it glitches on me when I’m changing the ranges on the EQ. But if you’re not tech savvy or don’t want to use the phone, then no worries! Everything can be controlled from the speaker itself, including the equalizer and light settings. I actually prefer to change things up that way. I love the option for the microphone, though I haven’t had a chance to test one out yet. Overall, I’d say it’s pretty good! I’m excited to take it with us to different events and get togethers this summer.
