Newer model: the Altec Lansing Lifejacket 3, ranked higher, rated 2/5, released May 2017. It adds stereo pairing. See every Altec Lansing LifeJacket generation.
Pros: Tank-like build quality: reviewers have frozen it, dropped it, and buried it in sand with no issues. IP67 rated; doubles as a power bank. Universal mounting clip for a bike, kayak, or backpack. Built-in speakerphone with voice-confirmed caller ID.
Cons: Barely any bass, “pathetic sounding” said Jay’s Reviews of the line generally. Gets distorted with a lot of bass. No true wireless stereo pairing between two units, unlike the Altec Lansing Lifejacket 3. Only available used now.
