Altec Lansing IMW257-MNT-GRP Mini H2O Bluetooth Waterproof Speaker, Mint

THE BEST IN CLASS

It's really compact! it's not loud enough if you use it outdoors. My iPhone 13 pro speakers are louder. 🤭 I use it with a room projector with Google tv in a small bedroom. It works fine....the volume at its loudest is Ok to watch a movie with in my room (about 12 sq metres). For the price paid...I have no complaints.

In the past I have had the serious larger A.L. Speakers. They were bar none -my favorite brand because of their incredible clarity and sound. I wanted something for travel in hotel rooms, you can start your day in a great state, with good music as you get ready for your day. When I opened the package it was the size of my lipstick. I thought this won’t deliver and will go right back. I was so wrong. You can toss this is your purse or backpack it is so small and light. But yes it delivers a perfect sound for hotels. You can play music and not disturb other guests. Sounds great for this tiny light weight size!!!

This is a well designed, solid, very portable speaker. If you can catch one on sale, get it. The carabiner is a nice plus. Fairly water resistant, pretty resistant to being dropped, very small and decent battery life. The sound is good for a speaker this small, but do not expect great bass or depth. The speakers are just too small. But the music is very listenable with the speaker close by. Where it excels is for mid-range things like podcasts, as an external speaker for your laptop or phone, movies (sans bass), and so on. I have a nice Chromebook, but the speakers are too low volume. This mini speaker solves that problem well. Same for my phone. The sound is clear and very decent all things considered. Just be realistic in your expectations. It's also very solid and easy to operate. The bluetooth works very well. It connects in just a few seconds usually and does not disconnect too quickly if you have paused your music or whatever as some speakers do. It's plenty loud if you keep it close. It will NOT fill a room with sound. but one should not expect a speaker this small to do that. The voice when it turns on/off does not bother me that much as it is not painfully loud, but might annoy some. The controls (on top, from left to right: on/off, volume down, volume up) are a bit hard to see, but a minor issue as you quickly know them by position. Overall, this does exactly what you want from a speaker this size. I am very satisfied with mine.

My granddaughter was excited to give this a try! Did exactly what she wanted it to!!

Works really well, use it all the time
