Awesome sound and lights!!

Speaker is awesome! My son saw it and borrowed it and hasn’t given it back since, he took it to basketball practice and it was a hit he told me several of his friends asked where it was from. My son is a junior in high school and I will have to get another one for the family.

Good sound and bluetooth, difficult radio function

Good speaker. The radio function is a little difficult. It has 1 button and runs through a scan and plays each station for 1 to 2 seconds before skipping to the next. You have to guess at what channel you stop it on or start over. Sounds good otherwise.

Best little speaker!

The ION wave rider speaker has excellent sound, cool light effects that can be customizable and us the perfect size for traveling. There is an app you can download that allows you to pick between inside, outside and party mode where you can customize volume levels and the colors/ synchronization of the lights. This speaker does have Bluetooth and audio ( radio) which is a nice option. You can also pair it with other wave rider speakers for a surround sound experience, 10/10 recommend.

Pretty powerful for it’s size

This floating Bluetooth speaker is a game-changer for poolside entertainment and water-based activities. Right out of the box, the sleek, durable design immediately impresses. It feels solid, perfect for floating effortlessly in a pool, hot tub, or lake. The sound quality is outstanding for its size. The volume is surprisingly powerful, easily filling outdoor spaces with sound, even with background noise from splashing water. It’s clear that the speaker is designed to thrive in wet environments. The Bluetooth connectivity is seamless, offering a strong, stable connection within a reasonable distance. The battery life seems to be great. One minor drawback is that the sound becomes muffled when the speaker is fully submerged. While it’s waterproof and can handle brief dips under the surface, it’s clearly optimized for floating rather than sinking. Fortunately, it quickly resumes its vibrant audio performance once it pops back up. While the muffling issue might slightly bother some, it’s hardly a dealbreaker given how well it performs above water. If you’re looking for a speaker that can keep up with your aquatic adventures, this one is a fantastic choice!

Amazing speakers.

Set up is just 10 sec. Easy to link to my phone via Bluetooth and listen anywhere. You can listen while in the shower. Beautiful lights that beat to the music. The speaker floats in the pool with you so you can easily adjust volume, change songs and even take a phone call without getting out of the pool. Perfect time for music and an entertaining LED light show. This floating Bluetooth Speaker / Light Show has excellent sound. It’s powerful with impressive, deep bass. Grab it when you hit the workshop or garage. You’ll find many uses. Just think wireless audio anywhere. Recharge using USB. This thing is awesome!

Great for indoors and small gatherings

This cute little speaker is perfect for indoor gatherings, or in the office for some light music. I put the speaker on the loudest setting and it wasn't the greatest for outdoor, since it was not as loud as my big speaker. It has about a 7-10 feet radius of sound depending on how loud the people in your gathering is.

Perfect for Any Occasion!

This little device is a game-changer for all my activities… It’s waterproof and sandproof, so I don’t have to worry about it getting damaged outdoors. Plus, the multicolor LED lights add a fun touch to any setting! What really stands out is its versatility – I use it in my bedroom, kitchen and living room when I’m hanging out with friends or family. It’s also a must-have during my carne asada BBQs – the sound quality is fantastic, and it really fills the space. The 10-hour battery life is impressive, and I love that I can charge it with my iPhone 16 cable (USB-C). It’s the right size – not bulky at all – and delivers amazing sound for its compact design. It’s the perfect mix of style, performance, and portability!

Great Speaker!

This is such a great speaker. It’s lightweight with multiple handles to grab. I like that it’s sandproof and waterproof so it’s great for the beach. It can float so it’s also great for the pool. The sound quality is amazing. Also has great battery life and cool led light modes.

Sturdy Music Speaker

This blew my expectations away. It's a solid speaker with easy set up. I received it in the mail, within 5 minutes connected via bluetooth and playing quality music. The lights add a fun dance mix element. I also loved how easy and user friendly it was. This speaker is not that light, but easy to carry around. I wish the speaker was on both sides, but overall so excited to use this in doors and out.
