Beautiful sound

Amazing sounds, let’s not forget the design is fantastic. So many colorful lights around it, and changes colors with whatever you play. The speaker weight is light , also waterproof so you can use any where !! Built-in radio and connectivity to your Bluetooth instantly.

Sounds like a great idea!

The sound is great and the build feels very sturdy. Super easy to connect right to your phone via Bluetooth. Very cool look and really can play loud

Life of the Pool Party

ION Audio HydroGroove floating party speaker surprised me with its loud clear sound. It was the star of the pool party, everyone wanted to be by it. Lights are an awesome touch. Battery lasted a few hours and connectivity was a breeze.

if you buy this speaker you do so at your own peril. I just closed on a brand new home in Florida and thought this would be great for my pool and all of my relatives that are going to visit me. and for 3 weeks it was. until it just continuously started saying Bluetooth, Bluetooth, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Bluetooth Bluetooth... and there's no way to turn it off. Even when you power it down and troubleshoot. I'm technically savvy. this speaker is a piece of crap. if you buy it, you'll regret it. I would have given it zero Stars if I could have. I ended up beating it with a hammer because there was no other way to turn it off. true story. it's in my trash bucket right now. hopefully it doesn't start going off again

Stopped working in less than a week

The speaker worked absolutely great for about 6 days. Now it won’t charge or power on whatsoever. Sam’s Club did a great job with the refund. However, now I’m stuck without a speaker for the pool! They’re sold out, and I have found something equivalent het

LOW BATTERY LIFE

LOW BATTERY LIFE. Sound was OK (not JBL quality) but the problem, and the reason I'm returning it is that the battery lasted less than two hours at 50% volume. Charged it 100% out of box, and repeated a few times to be sure it wasn't "battery memory" but no luck. Dont buy for the pool, you better keep it plugged in all the time.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, and we're very sorry to hear the HydroGroove fell short for you in these areas. For best battery life, we recommend charging the HyrdroGroove with a good quality 5V 2A charger, keeping in mind that overall battery life will vary based on baseline operating volume and environmental factors like temperature and sun exposure. If you have any further questions, please feel free to get in touch with our support team at ionaudio.com/support.

Not very goos sound

Will not get loud enough to hear as when the water hits the top it muffles the spund.

Thanks for your review! While we aim to offer the best in amphibious speaker performance, we're still subject to the laws of physics -- For best sound quality, we recommend using the speaker outside of the water, or at least away from where the water is most disturbed, to prevent coverage over the speaker.

Not worth the money

Retuned speaker didn’t work after the first use and would not charge again.

Sounds great floating around the pool

Works great! Just don’t throw it into the water while it’s playing.
