This speaker is so cool. Pairing is simple and the controls are easy to use. It's a little heavier than I expected, which might make hauling it onto the beach a bit more cumbersome, but definitely worth it. Sound quality is great and a huge added bonus that it's waterproof and floats. Will be the highlight of many summer pool parties!

ION Bluetooth speaker. With it being the winter months, I usually look for speakers that will work in our pool in the Midwest during the summertime, I can tell you at this price point, this ion waterproof speaker is undoubtably the best bang and value for your book that you can find anywhere. It is loud has base and also has an FM radio option which is unbeatable by anything that I’ve ever seen while owning a pool before this sells out, I would highly recommend to invest in this speaker as someone who has owned many speakers for outdoors and especially for the pool, this is 98% what you were looking for for an outdoor backyard pool! The sheer fact alone that it has an FM radio and does not interrupt the Bluetooth connection while you are recording videos of your family is 110% worth it get this while you can! We are currently using it indoors in preparation for the upcoming summer and it is amazing. It is 50% louder than any device we own and is less than the price point of the bigger speakers that are on the market that we are able to find in this household and that is enough for me at a fraction of the price! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has a outdoor swimming pool, a hot tub, a sauna, and garden or anyone who enjoys the outdoors and also someone who enjoys a loud speaker that has an FM radio option. You can also enjoy this speaker inside in the winter months, Which we are currently doing. I would definitely be looking at this ION product . I am highly impressed at the quality and sound of this item Quality, especially when comparing prices to other items, it is an unbeatable value and will definitely be purchasing another one to utilize when spring comes around. I have fully charged this device with the light show off and have gotten 6+hours of use indoors, which makes it a keeper for me and will definitely be ordering additional for this spring/summer. On a full charge and the light show on I have gotten 4 1/2 to 5 hours of play. That definitely keeps this item as number one for our summertime, fun outdoors with the family this summer.

The speaker sounds amazing. The problems are that it doesn't stay charged for 10 hours as advertised, and it will not fully charge when plugged in; you have to move it to a different outlet once it stops charging at the current outlet. Apparently, it doesn't charge while being plugged in if using at the same time.

Bluetooth speaker, and it’s been an absolute game-changer for my backyard pool area. The sound quality is phenomenal—loud and crystal clear, even in open spaces. Whether I’m hosting a pool party or relaxing solo, the audio fills the yard perfectly without distortion. What makes this speaker stand out is its versatility. It's portable and lightweight, so I can easily move it around the house. Whether it’s playing music in the kitchen, setting the mood in the living room, or bringing life to outdoor gatherings, it fits every scenario seamlessly. The battery life is impressive, lasting for hours, and it’s also water-resistant, which is essential for poolside use. Plus, the connectivity is flawless—pairing with my devices instantly. Overall, this is a must-have speaker for anyone who values clear, powerful sound and versatility in one device. Highly recommended!

This came and we were surprised by how big and heavy this speaker was! (In a good way!) Right out of the box, it turned on easily and setting up was a breeze. The sound is great and the colors are bright. It also has a radio equipped if you don’t want to use Bluetooth. So easy our 3 year old can run it. Love that it is water proof and sand proof for outdoor summer use. Cannot wait to use this more!

My first water speakers. These are cool. I had seen a bigger ion speakers. This wave rider x does not look that sturdy. Overall ion makes high quality items. I am impressed with looks, sound quality, disco lights, portability. It’s not heavy and kids can carry too. It has radio which is independent of any blue tooth connected device, which comes handy when music from is not available. It was easy to connect to Bluetooth on phone. The syncing of videos and sound is unnoticeable, there’s hardly any delay which makes it a 5 star item. Sound quality is awesome. FYI there is mo equalizer; Your connected device should help. The lighting is button controlled. The pattern can be customized with buttons. The brightness is very good and color changes are very attractive. Easy to notice the speakers from a distance. There is more to write than amount of this available space👍. Overall a good buy. Nice to own one in kids family. The recharging port is latest usb c. It charges quick. Rating: 5/5 No regrets. I’d recommend this water proof floating speakers.

This Speaker is small but with BIG SOUND. It puts out and sounds Amazing. Very easy to set up and Bluetooth to your device. Or you can listen to the radio. The lights are bright and dance along with the music. Floats in the water and puts out the same sound as it does on dry ground- so will work well in a Jacuzzi or Pool. Will pair up nicely with other ION speakers. Very Happy with the Quality and Sound from this Speaker.

This speaker is good quality. Heavy & solid. The sound is also great. I like that it’s waterproof & sandproof. I haven’t tested that option but I will once the weather warms up. I also like the light up LED feature. Just an overall nice little speaker. Easily connects to any Bluetooth.

This is an interesting speaker. I suppose if you need something that’s waterproof it would be very useful. The fact that it floats I guess the uses for that are fairly limited. Perhaps if you have a boat and things are apt to fall out of it then this could be useful; if you have a pool and you set speakers too near the edge of the pool I suppose then this could also fall in and be safe. I think more than likely, this would be used in a wet environment. For instance, you might use it around your pool you might use it on the pontoon boat. The fact that it floats is interesting but probably not going to be used very often. The sound is fine; It seems pretty loud. It connected very quickly to my phone with Bluetooth. The one thing that really annoyed me was when you turn it on and turn it off it makes a lot of noise. It plays some kind of tone. I don’t like it. It scared the cats. You can’t turn it off.

ION Audio Wave Rider X Floating Bluetooth Speaker and it has been a fantastic addition to my outdoor activities! The speaker's buoyant design ensures it floats effortlessly on water, making it perfect for pool parties, beach days, and even in the bathtub. The sound quality is impressive, with 26 watts of dynamic power and 2-inch full-range speakers delivering lifelike sound. The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 20 hours of continuous use, which is great for long days out. One of my favorite features is the multi-colored LED lights that create a fun atmosphere. The speaker also includes an FM radio with presets and an aux input for non-Bluetooth devices, adding to its versatility2. Overall, the ION Audio Wave Rider X is a durable, high-quality speaker that enhances any outdoor gathering. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy music in or around water!
