Great speaker option for Summer
Posted .This isn't some tiny Bluetooth speaker. This is a SPEAKER! It reminds me of the old boomboxes, but a lot sturdier. It really is waterproof. We were playing with it under the sprinkler. Plus it lights up. It has a great battery life (it lasted for hours) and a charging port so I could charge my cell phone. I just wish my cell phone was as waterproof as this speaker.

A powerhouse speaker that doesn't disappoint!
Posted .If you're looking to take your pool party to the next level, you have got to get yourself the Altec Lansing Rockbox XL. This powerhouse of a speaker delivers crystal clear, bass pumping sound that can be heard from blocks away. If that's not enough, it's got built-in LED strobe lights that add to the party ambiance, 20 hours of battery life (complete with a built-in USB charging port for your devices), and it can even float upright in the water! It's by far the loudest portable Bluetooth speaker that I’ve ever tested, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking to turn their party up a notch. You don't be disappointed!

Perfect Party Speaker
Posted .The Altec Lansing RockBox XL Waterproof Bluetooth Portable Speaker is today's equivalent to the boombox from when I was growing up, where instead of music coming from a cassette or the radio, more typically, it is coming from a streaming service like Spotify. While I liked to carry my boom box around, the RockBox XL is the perfect party speaker. It weighs just over nine pounds so I wouldn't want to carry it around for that long. Instead, position the speaker to take advantage of the music coming out of both sides of the pyramid shaped design. The speaker delivers bass boosting sound that will light up the party! With 5 different LED light modes, customize your lighting feature to match your music. Then, watch the built-in LED strobe lights dance around to the beat of your music blasting out 50 Watts of soundthrough the dual 3 1/2" Ferrite Woofers, 30mm x 2 Mylar Tweeter, and dual 160mm x 83mm Passive Radiators. Partying with the RockBox XL is not limited to indoors, too. With summer still here, you can bring it to a pool party and not worry if it gets too rowdy. Not only will it float upright in the water, but it has an IP67 waterproof rating to protect against all the elements. IP67 means the unit can be dropped into a body of water up to 3 feet/a meter deep for half an hour. Sound out of the speaker won't disappoint. First, setup is a breeze, syncing like nearly every other speaker/headphones nowadays. Then, the music happens. You can get some heavy bass out of the speaker or listen to something a bit more classical. The speaker didn't disappoint. It is a bit of overkill for your bedroom, but if you need something perfect for an indoor/outdoor party, you won't be disappointed with the Altec Lansing RockBox XL Waterproof Bluetooth Portable Speaker. If you're concerned about your party outlasting your speaker, the RockBox XL can last for 20 hours of battery life. At that length, you should be more concerned with your phone running out of power to play the music, but, the speaker has that covered, too. It has a built-in USB charging port to ensure your music won't stop when your devices battery does. The one thing it does lack though is a Qi Wireless Charger.

Bringing Music to the Party With The Altec Rockbox
Posted .During the Summer I love to have people over to grill out, enjoy some music and just relax. However, as I get people together I also want to have some great music to go with the get together and recently I decided to pick up the new Altec Lansing Rockbox XL Waterproof Bluetooth Portable Speaker. When I was looking for a new speaker I have to say that I was impressed by the fact that the Rochbox has up to a 20 hour charge. Not that I will need that for one party, but once I started using it I found that it would last for a long time and I really did not have to charge it for a while. This saved me time, and money for not having to charge it constantly. I love the sound that I get from the Altec Lansing Rockbox XL. You get 50 Watts of bass, but even better, you can control the sound easily and get the volume and sound that you want no matter what you want to play. I tested it out with my spotify playlist and it sounded great! On top of great sound this speaker is also a great addition to the party. There are 5 LED light modes that either illuminate the light directly or pulse with the music which you are playing. This really can make the party pop, especially after the sun goes down. I have yet to try this yet, but the speaker is also waterproof and will float upright in water. I will definitely need to bring this speaker with me to try this out the next time that I am around a pool! While I only bought one speaker, the technology with this speaker allows you to pair up to 50 compatible speakers together to create a sound experience that no one will forget. After seeing how well this one works, I would have no issue with getting more for the future.

Portable and fun way to listen to music
Posted .Now this is a pretty cool way to listen to music whether you are in the back yard, at the park or on a campsite. With the fact that it is dirt proof and waterproof you can set it down in the snow or even have it float on the water in your pool. It has color changing lights and can also change color with the beat of the music. Having Bluetooth makes it easy to connect to a variety of devices. I love how modern it looks and the great sound.

Great speaker, poor bluetooth range.
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Use it for U12 Soccer practice and warmups. Works very well. Only thing keeping it from getting 5 stars is the bluetooth range is not great. Can only be 15 feet away before it cuts out.

Posted .Hi there - thank you for the review and feedback!
Q: Question1) Does the RockBox XL have speakers in front and back, and therefore play music in two directions? Or, only in the front, and play in one direction? 2) In general, how is the sound from all directions? Does it fill space well or are there dead spots?
Asked by Naytess.
- A:Answer the back is the bass muffler, this rockbox xl is pretty loud it fills a space well, I have the jbl boombox which is twice the price of the rockbox xl. let me tell you something the rockbox xl is not far behind the jbl boombox in sound quality, im glad I bought the rockbox xl and im keeping it.
