    Waterproof in 12 feet of water for one week.
    Wow! So I bought Back in 2018 and use it at my Lakehouse with Alexa. Always has a great sound. Last week I took to the boat dock and someone accidentally kicked it in the water. It was dark out and fairly deep, so I didn’t think I would get it back. A week later, we decided to try to retrieve it. It was in about 12 foot of water and a friend actually dove down and found it on the forth try! Anyway, it was not powered on when it was kicked in the water and I remembered that it was waterproof the next day and thought I should try it out. Amazingly enough, it works fine, Alexa can still hear me, and the music sounds as good as it always did. The picture was taken in it's condition after being retrieved from the lake still a little dirty. Seriously waterproof!
    Thank you for your feedback

    Great sounding speaker. Though I had a problem connecting it with Windows 7 bluetooth, workaround will be to connect to IOS or Android first. Works excellent with Windows 10, IOS, and android. Battery life was good. In low volume, I was able to play it continuously for 7-8 hours with plenty of juice left. For $99 on sale, it kicks my 5 year old JBLs bluetooth speakers ass!
    Update 6/12/18:
    Won't turn on and won't charge all of a sudden.
    2nd update 6/12/18:
    Had to do a hard reset
    WARNING This procedure can permanently damage your speaker and should ONLY be used if the speaker won’t turn ON. Frequent use of the reset procedure is NOT recommended.

    1. Briefly press the “-“ (volume down), “+” (volume up) and small action/Bluetooth buttons at the same time (See picture below).

    2. Next, press the large power button on the speaker and it will turn back ON.

    Note: it may take a few moments for the speaker to reconnect to Alexa or repair to your mobile device.

    3. After resetting the speaker, it’s highly RECOMMENDED that you use the Ultimate Ears app (available from the app stores for iOS and Android) to check for available firmware updates for your speaker. To do this, launch the app > tap on the settings icon > scroll to the bottom of the screen and press “Check for Updates.” (Depending on the version of the app you may need to disable Automatic Updates before you can manually check for updates. If prompted, follow the instructions to update your speaker’s firmware.

    I’m quite surprised by all of the negative reviews.
    I did purchase this speaker during the $99 sale. I know the UE products are more expensive and have great quality sound. So $99 with the Alexa feature was a steal. With that being said, it’s important to know what features are most important to you before purchasing a portable speaker vs Alexa stationary products...

    To begin, it should be noted that first and foremost, this is intended as a portable, high quality speaker. It is waterproof, allowing for functionality virtually anywhere. It comes with a charging cable, like almost all speakers, and holds a charge for longer than I personally need.

    With that being said, the Alexa feature is more of a secondary function or perk. Unless you have a prime account, the prime music will be pointless. However, you can use other music apps, or just synce it vis Bluetooth to your phone. I have not had any problems connecting it to my wifi, and the Alexa works fine for me. However, I would not purchase this for the sole intention of using Alexa. I own both the Alexa Echo and Echo Dot. All 3 have their own benefits.

    All together, this is a great speaker. It sounds amazing and fulfills my needs for a portable speaker. The Alexa function is a nice addition, but would recommend the UE Boom if this was not on sale and the Alexa function is not important to you.
    If you don’t plan on using it as a portable speaker, and Alexa is the more important feature to you, I’d recommend the regular Echo.

    Otherwise, I love this speaker!!

    decent sound, mixed feature set...but severely overpriced for what it does.

    This item is somewhat unique in that the only other item is reasonably compares to is the Amazon Tap. As a bluetooth speaker...it is average at best. The sound is slightly better than the Anker soundcore...but significantly worse than the Anker Soundcore boost, the JBL Charge 2+ and the bose mini - all of which happen to be in my house. I was severely disappointed in the sound quality overall. It generally lacks definition and has very little low end response. Generally any $50 BT speaker will sound better, much less any other BT at this price point. Very disappointing. The sound is better than an Echo dot by itself...but that is really not saying anything positive.

    As an Alexa device - again general disappointment. First - the WiFi appears to be very weak. It has connection problems in areas that no other WiFi devices I own have problems. The greatest development for Alexa devices is their microphone array that can pick up and distinguish voices several feet away. The BLAST CANNOT do this. At best you need to both over the top of the BLAST and within about 24 inches for Alexa to reliably pick up what is said. But be prepared...the response is VERY slow. This is nothing like the prior generation or current generation Echo devices. The overall experience feels like a BETA test device...not something that was released for public consumption.

    The charging pad is necessary...and should simply be factored into the price. at 140+ this is a huge disappointment.

    First the positives: The sound will knock you off your feet and it has equalization adjustments. Connectivity is effortless to everything; battery life is great. I played it for hours over five days without a charge. The Bluetooth and Wi-Fi distance connection is great. Disappointments: Lately I have received several items through Amazon that have been repackaged which seems to occur for third party sales on items that have been on the market for years, which was the case with this item. It came with the wireless charging base which I didn't order but it was all obviously repackaged. I left the speaker out in the rain all week and it has no issues. BUT,, the charging base filled with water and stopped working. I took the charging base apart to the smallest element and blew it dry which recovered it. The base design is bad and collect water, so you can leave the speaker out, but not the base.

    Perfect for a lazy day in the backyard or by the pool. Cuts out sometimes if I put my phone in my pocket, but other than that I love it. Sure you can get better sound in other speakers, but bang for your buck (and waterproof) you can't go wrong. So glad I bought this.
