ROCK ON!
This speaker is very easy to use. It took a couple seconds to turn on, and pair my iPhone with Bluetooth. The QR code in the box points to a trouble-free setup video.The audio is great! The speaker produces warm bass and medium treble which makes the vocals and instruments sound clear.The only drawback for me is that it’s not AirPlay compatible and I wish there was a cover of sorts to hide the solar panel when not charging in the sun so it’s aesthetically pleasing.Overall, I recommend the purchase. It’s perfect for the elements, easy to use, sounds wonderful and looks great in the yard.

Big sound, decent design, great bluetooth range
DesignFirst, the speaker was bigger than I thought. Granted I didn’t read the specs, but when it’s on your patio it’s less of a rock and more of a small boulder, which might lead people to wonder what a small boulder is doing on your patio. However, the size contributes to a bigger sound, which is the tradeoff.The “rock camouflage” is passable, but it’s kind of obvious that it’s not a rock. In other words, is it that much better than just a grey box? Not really. But it isn’t an eyesore, just looks a little weird.SoundThe sound is definitely the highlight. While it’s obviously not the best speaker in the world (ie, not great bass), it is LOUD and really fills a space. If you had two, you’d really be in business. I tested with with Jack White No Name album and was waiting for my neighbors to start complaining.Certainly it’s an advantage that you can just leave it outside and not worry about it, and will self charge via solar panels (I didn’t get a chance to really test that.) In short, I would recommend these to a homeowner with an enough property that you won’t bug the neighbors; if you live in an apartment or city environment you might consider a smaller speaker.I will also add this speaker has great bluetooth range. I was hundred of feet away from it, and it was still reading my phone/spotify. This is a huge plus for entertaining when we are running around after kids, grabbing stuff etc.

Stopped Functioning
Bought the speaker on July 28, 2024. Was placed in a location that was flat and allowed for water runoff with access to sunlight for the solar charging feature. Four months later it will not charge either thru the solar panel or if plugged into the USB. Last time it did turn on, if refused to turn off and kept making a strange beeping sound. Now it will not turn on at all because it has lost its charge. Disappointed. While it worked it was great. Sound quality awesome. But three months of use for $100 no thanks. Emailed support, no reply. Called and stayed on hold until electronic told me they are too busy to get to me and leave a voicemail.

Happy with this purchase, perfect outdoor speaker
We wanted an outdoor speaker for our kids play area but we have no electric in the vacinity. It was super easy to setup. Since we purchased it a month ago I haven’t had less than 100% battery when getting connected. The Bluetooth is flawless, I just press the button on the back and it instantly connects. The best part is the audio qualilty. Music, podcasts, anything. It’s so clear and crisp. Top quality and well worth the money.
