MIATONE Boombox Outdoor Portable Bluetooth Speaker Waterproof Wireless Speakers Valentines Day Gifts for Men Boyfriend Him – Black

Great Performing and High Quality Sound
I have been using this speaker so far for blasting music, connecting it with my monitor, using it to watch movies, and taking it on the go to friend’s houses and parties, and I think this speaker has great performance and high quality sound compared to some of the other speakers that I have had.Pros:- The 16W drivers on this speaker allow it to be very loud, and so I usually use it at 60-70% volume which is enough to fill an entire large room.- It has a very robust, cylindrical design allows it to withstand some fall damage, and with rubberized ends so that it doesn’t slip, and the design allows for it to play audio from multiple directions.- It has the capability to play in wireless stereo mode by connecting to another Miatone speaker which allows for audio playing from 32W which is very high and can allow for very far reaching audio.- The battery lasted me around 9-10 hours depending on how much I kept the volume at during certain times which is great because it lasts me several days without charge since I use it several hours at a time.- It is water resistant (IPX6). Although I haven’t tested it, I think it is good that it can withstand some water in case it accidentally falls into water or some water falls onto it.- I’m not an audiophile, but based on other previous speakers that I’ve had, both wired and wireless, I think this speaker has the best sound quality. It is very loud and the audio is far reaching so if it’s on one end of your house, you can hear it from the other end. The audio is also clear and crisp, with a deep bass, so you can hear music, movies, or any media without loss of quality in the audio.- The Bluetooth 4.2 allows for it to connect and play from a device as far as around 30ft between walls and obstacles. I was able to listen to the speaker from my device while I was in other rooms in my house which is really good connectivity. Without any walls or obstacles, it says you can connect and play the speakers from about 100ft.Cons- The voice that plays when powering on/off, and connecting/disconnecting your device is annoying because it is very loud no matter what you set the volume of the speaker to, and there is no way to turn it off.- The speaker automatically turns off after a certain amount of time if nothing is playing while connected to your device.- It takes a very long time to charge the speaker, around 3 hours.- The speaker should be able to connect to other speakers in TWS mode (True Wireless Stereo mode) in order to play wireless stereo sound instead being able to connect to only Miatone speakersNice Improvements To Have- Volume indicator- Battery indicator- There should be an option to turn off the voice that plays when powering on/off and connecting/disconnecting your device, or replace the voice with simple sounds that aren’t so loud- The speaker should stay on while connected to your device regardless if anything is playing or not. It should only turn off if powered off or if the device is disconnected.- The charging time should be lowered

Plenty of Boom for your Room!
I bought this speaker for two very important reasons1. If you’ve heard of the YouTube channel “Dankpods” this is an American version of the EFM Toledo, so it has the “Voice”2. I needed the speaker for shower time! Using my phone speaker just wasn’t cutting the mustard!Despite this being mainly a joke purchase, with a thinly veiled need to force my over-worrying mind that spending this money was entirely necessary. What I got was honestly a very decent speaker! Now don’t go into this thinking that Miatone will become the next revolution and take down JBL or something. Keep your expectations in check, my ex sure couldn’t!This speaker feels sturdy, and it’s coated in a nice rubber finish with a mesh covering the 2 main speakers. This mesh has a nasty habit of collecting particles. I tried giving it an intervention, but all it did was stare at me, and then neighbors were quite concerned that I was yelling at inanimate objects again. So if you intend on hiking, just know the mesh will get covered in dust and particles. The Speaker has a decent weight to it, and overall feels pretty solid, unlike my date life. It comes with a string that feels pretty strong, and allows you to tie the speaker to anything! Such as; a pole, a shower curtain rod, a small tree, a bag, or a fishing line so you can scare your friends. Though they did file a restraining order after that. The speaker has 2 metal ends that help with the immense bass this speaker outputs. I’m sure some late 90s marketer would call it “SUPER X BASS XTREME” or something. The speaker is also small enough to fit inside some cup holders! So if you’re too busy spending all of your money on packs of cigarettes instead of fixing that radio that was stolen back in 2005, this might be a decent replacement!A common complaint is that the door on the side where the Aux port and USB-C port are located is as hard to open as a slightly out-of-date jar of Spaghetti sauce that’s been sitting in your grandma’s pantry since 1996. After you open it a few times, you get the hang of it! It’s located just above the Bluetooth logo if you didn’t know where it was. Upon turning it on your greeted with a rather nice British voice, she keeps me company as I spend days upon days in my house, the crippling loneliness eating me away. The voice is a tad low quality, I wonder who the Voice Actress is for this speaker? Eh, that sounds like a Reddit rabbit hole I don’t feel like diving into right now, the app keeps crashing anyway.Here’s what you get in the box! The speaker itself, jammed in there like the mailman jams my looming credit card bills, a USB-C Cable (No power brick, thanks for that I guess, some people don’t have 251 of them knocking around.) and surprisingly enough, an Aux cable! So you can hook it up to anything that isn’t an iPhone or Samsung Galaxy! Both cables feel okay, they’re not going to win any “World’s GREATEST Cable” contests anytime soon. You also get an instruction manual that will sit in a drawer for all of its life since “ya never know when ya might need it!” Until 4 years later while you’re doing your spring cleaning you should have done a while ago, find it and toss it aside and not even think about its existence.The sound quality isn’t gonna knock your socks off or anything, though the bass probably could! This bass is kinda ridiculous, vibrating any surface I place it on! It even made a ghost so unhappy that they rudely knocked down a can of hairspray. That or they didn’t like me blasting obscure 80s music at them, who knows? I do have to turn the bass down on my phone so I can hear Phil Collins a tad better since it tends to overshadow any treble you might want. This speaker focuses more on the mid-range rather than low bass or top-end notes. Don’t expect to set this in your bathroom and turn it into a live Taylor Swift concert. It wouldn’t make for a great venue anyway. I threw every music genre I could think of at it, from Bombastic orchestras to songs lingering in your dad’s vinyl collection gathering dust in the attic, you really should get that cleaned. It handled anything I threw at it well, it didn’t send my ears to Valhalla or anything, but it did fill my bathroom with music well! It does get pretty loud! The noise complaint on my desk proves it! The louder you go, the more distorted the music gets, so keep it away from maximum volume if you want the best quality.It does advertise that it’s an “IPX6 speaker” which means that it can handle jets of water being splashed at it, you can thank the neighbor’s kid for that test… just don’t go trying to take it on a diving expedition to some famous shipwreck, it won’t do well. I’d say if you dropped it in a pool during a drinking session with the imaginary personalities inside your head, you’ll be fine.“But random reviewer man! What about the cost? What’s its value!” – you presumably somewhere in the back of your mind.Well, let’s talk about that, because it’s a tad weird, just like a Peanut Butter and Jelly Burger (seriously who even came up with that!?) that aside, there’s a bit of a quirk with this company. Almost all of Miatone’s speakers are the same price! From little tiny ones to Big 36w ones! Some have RGB lighting and some are just speakers! I don’t have every Miatone speaker in front of me to compare this particular model to, I already tried pulling another loan to see if I can get them all but my bank kicked me to the curb. And I don’t think Miatone is going to send me a whole bunch of review models (though I would be interested if they did) so I guess I won’t be doing that. This is just one of many to consider. The only real difference I can see between this one and some of the other ones I looked at reviews for is that this one has the smooth-talking lady! So I guess if you’re lonely like me then that would be a pretty good selling point, that was one of the main bullet points as to why I bought it after all!In conclusion, I think the Miatone Boombox is a great little speaker for the price! Even if it’s only difference is that this one has that world famous voice. Don’t go into it expecting to replace your mid-2000s audio setup your dad left behind when he went off with his new girlfriend. it’s more of a “speaker for around the house” kinda deal. It won’t win any awards, you can’t go around showing off your Miatone like you got some sort of Beats Pill or anything. You won’t get clout for owning this, you simply will get a decent quality speaker. Nothing more, nothing less! That’s what makes it pretty nice! I would recommend it for those who spent way too much money on doordash and have no money for actual needs, thus their speaker budget is drastically reduced! And honestly proves that you don’t need a whole bunch of tacky RGB “Sound reacting” lights to make a good quality speaker! If you’re looking for a barebones speaker you can toss anywhere without a care in the world, then I think you found the right one!But there is a caveat in all this, for whatever reason almost all of Miatones speakers are the same price! From little tiny ones to Big 36w ones! Some have RGB lighting and some are just speakers! I don’t have every Miatone speaker in front of me to compare this to, I already tried pulling another loan to see if I can get them all but my bank kicked me to the curb so I guess I won’t be doing that. This is just one of many to consider!TLDR (LONG BLOCKS OF TEXT SCARE ME)GOOD BUILD QUALITYDECENT AUDIO QUALITYVERY BASS HEAVYCAN RESIST JETS OF WATERGOOD VALUE FOR MONEY THOUGH THERE ARE MANY OPTIONS FROM THIS BRANDHAS SILLY VOICE ON STARTUP

Good quality and loud
I bought this to play my cheer team’s music, I needed a loud speaker that was not hundreds of dollars. The quality is great and it’s nice and loud. Plus the color is cute!

amazing
bought this last april and it just broke due to me stripping the prongs for the charger port (totally user error)about to rebuy because this is really a good speaker, the bass is amazing and the max volume is really loud! only issue i had with it is the battery life wasn’t that good (maybe 2-3 hours) and it would need to be charged again, but other than that i loved every aspect of it!

It’s the DankPods speaker alright (minus the sound effect that plays before it turns on and off). But other than that, the speaker’s audio quality is actually pretty good even on full volume. The battery is great, it lasts more than 10 hours (depending on the volume level) on 50% volume. The volume is also pretty good, 50% volume is already a little loud to me. However, when playing music with heavy bass and on high volume, it struggles a little bit but not too bad. Overall, for its price, its really good compared to other speakers with this price.

For those of you looking I’ve posted a video so you can hear it. It has two speakers that are situated together on the opposite side to the control panel so I wouldn’t say it has 360 sound exactly, but they are stereo ie. they are a left and a right speaker (for me it wasn’t clear this was the case). While the membranes in the side sound bassy when you hold them to your ear I wouldn’t say the speaker has a particularly heavy bass sound to it but it is not tinny by any means. I like the fact it switches to aux mode just by plugging the cable in. Pretty good Bluetooth speaker. Nice size, easy controls and has a good volume.
