Just got this a week ago, couldn't find the sony I wanted and decided to try this JBL, definitely a good choice. Solid sound quality and volume, just wish the base was more flat.
I bought this product 2 weeks ago and am extremely disappointed with it. It lasted one trip on the paddle board and no longer functions. We were left without music for the rest of the camping trip. I'd hardly say this product is water proof.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Our IPX7 rating basically means you can submerge the speaker up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. That said, we'd like to work with you directly on this one. Please reach out to our Customer Support at https://bit.ly/30GsbuW
