Great little speaker!

It’s a great speaker. Although the battery doesn’t seem to last very long, it’s still really good. My brother had one and loved it so I bought one as well. Floats on the lake and is waterproof. Lights are an added bonus.

I didn't think I would like X but ...

I didn't think i would like X. That's what i named it, "X". But as it turns out, it's one of my favorite speakers. It's kind of a weird shaped speaker and is about 12" high and 12" wide. It's not too big and also not too small. Surprisingly the speaker has a radio - wow, nice. I find myself playing the radio more than using the bluetooth feature. The battery life is very long too. It's nice to be able to grab one of the bars and go with it ; so it's super portable to move around. The light show is also very nice which enhances the musical experience. I also really like that you can charge the speaker with any usb-c cable. So there is no need to lug around a seperate charging cable. The sound is big, bold, and it can get very loud.

Very powerful speaker for such a small size

This is one very powerful little speaker that is very clear and a good amount of base to keep your party going great the battery held up for hours I don’t have a swimming pool so I didn’t get a chance to place it into water. Ion is a great brand I have bought a speaker 6 years ago and my son has it and loves it that one has wheels on it for easy access when we go to the park. I would recommend getting this one you won’t regret it

Loud and Rugged

This bluetooth speaker connects very easily, and we were blown away by how loud it can get. It remains clear at max volume levels and has good deep bass. The light up feature is neat and the speaker is easy to stand up on any flat surface and carry with 4 built-in handles. The water resistance (floating capability) and durability will be nice for our outdoor adventures this summer!

Great outdoor speaker

Great outdoor speaker, submersible up to 3ft for up to 30 minutes does not get any better. Perfect for summer time in the pool or poolside. Louder than any other waterproof I have purchased. Love my speaker would never buy another brand of waterproof speaker.

Waterproof speaker

I love this speaker. I took it on vacation and everyone wanted to know where I purchased it. The sound quality is amazing. Even with it being on its max sound setting, it doesn't sound distorted. It’s pretty loud and has woofers on the side. It’s also made well. I put it in the pool for hours. It’s has 11 different t colors, which you can change. It’s Bluetooth and also has a radio. You can pair another speaker if you need to create surround sound. This speaker will not disappoint. It’s portable and will make a great gift.

Music and atmosphere that fits our expectations.

I wasn’t looking for stadium sound volume and I am very satisfied with the performance of this speaker. It can be tuned to your liking using the adjustments the app provides. The option for colorful led light patterns is nice and ads to the nighttime or indoor atmosphere. I have not tried the floating capability but I have seen videos of it. The rain, sand and dirt resistance is benefit enough for my needs. It does give a fuller sound to the volume level of music that we want playing. I have played it for over 8 hours at moderate volume with the led light pattern set to random. The FM tuner also works well with stronger radio signals.

Compact Speaker

Great patio speaker. Left it out side in the rain and still worked. The light show is a nice touch. Kinda base heavy. Also enjoy the option to use the radio not something general available on a Bluetooth speaker. Compact but gets the job done for an outdoor party.

Wave Rider X Floating speaker.

It's nice good sound but as for it being floating speaker forget it. You can put in 2 inches of water it will be ok, but in deeper water it will sink to the bottom!
