When I first picked up the speaker, I was surprised by how solid it felt. While it’s light enough to be portable, it’s a serious upgrade from my older Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth Speaker.
If you need a speaker for pool parties (emphasis on the party), get yourself a Wonderboom 4 or two. We say two because they're only $100 each, and they allow you to sync two at a time to one device.
