Pros: A floating, IP67 waterproof and dustproof puck speaker for the pool, with top and bottom light rings and ten light modes. It adds FM radio with presets, app 3 band EQ, dual phone connection, party linking of several units and a carabiner clip, at 1.36 kg.
Cons: Its bass is nowhere near as deep as top ranked speakers its size like the Soundcore Motion 300, which reaches down to about 50 Hz. No independent reviews or measurements yet, so its rating is estimated from ION’s similar speakers. Linked units play in mono, there is no aux input, USB playback or phone charging, and the battery is rated for about 10 hours.
