MIATONE Boombox Outdoor Portable Bluetooth Speaker Waterproof Wireless Speakers Gifts for Women Mothers Mom Wife Her – Pink

Good buy!
Easy to connect to. Battery life is solid. Great sound! I have enjoyed using this at the pool and look forward to trying at my daughter’s graduation party where it’s a bigger venue.

Plenty of Boom for your Room!
I bought this speaker for two very important reasons.1. 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complaint is that the door on the side where the Aux port and USB-C port are located is as hard to open as a slightly out-of-date jar of Spaghetti sauce that’s been sitting in your grandma’s pantry since 1996.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

This item is excellent and very cute! Its soul purpose is to provide music and it does that! And it can be played loud or low. Whatever your mood. You won’t regret it!

Great speaker with one catch
I am still currently looking for the best portable (7.5″ x 3″ x3″) speaker out there. However I don’t believe the perfect speaker to exist. This one comes very close though. The sound from this speaker is real good, especially at higher volumes. It’s not HiFi but it’s up there. It could definitely hold it’s own against a soundlink mini 2 in sound quality. I put it up against the soundcore boost and it’s has less bass but it’s clearer. My ears sometimes would hurt if I had the boost near me. I also put it against the Tribit Max Sound plus and the Miatone definitely sounds better. This is at full volume on both speakers and 70% volume on the phone for both. Now, to the drawbacks. For me though, they don’t bother me as much seeing as the price is kind of low. The battery doesn’t last long. On 50% volume I get around 5 hours which is not much. Maybe I got a defective one. On the bright side it does charge very quickly. The other thing is that the Bluetooth doesn’t go through the walls very well. Again, these don’t bother me as much because for a long time I’ve been looking for quality sounding music from a speaker this size. The only good quality music I normally find is from something the size of a charge 4 or a sony srs-xb31. It’s definitely better than a flip 4 which is basically the same size in sound quality. Miatone if you read this please, please keep making speakers this well and improve on battery life. I don’t mind paying 100 bucks if you can make the battery last longer and improving the Bluetooth. The sound is just so good.

Knew those speakers from DankPods and found it funny, so when need arose for me to have some speakers I checked them out and found the price very good, so went ahead and purchased them.They don’t disappoint. The build quality is rugged, the “announcer” voice is funny, and the sound quality… I can’t voucher it as they are connected to a DOS and an Amiga machine, playing Midi and MOD files, so never tried with “real” audio, but for what I use them the sound is amazing, even when putting the speakers on an upright position. Quite powerful volume level. The battery seems a bit weak, but I really don’t care that much as I have them connected to the main power, still lasts for hours and charge quick.Really happy with the purchase.

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.
