#71 Turtlebox Gen 3: $430.00 Amazon eBay

Older models: the Turtlebox Gen 2 (rated 2.1/5) and the Turtlebox (rated 2.1/5).

Pros: Waterproof and crushproof, loud with punchy bass. 25+ hour battery life. USB-C charging and USB-C output charges other devices. True multi-speaker Party Mode added on top of stereo pairing, plus Bluetooth 5.4. Measured bass extension of ~65Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Sounds basically identical to the original and the Gen 2: each generation mainly added features, not sound quality. They pretty much lie about all their specs and sound horrible in all youtube sound samples. Will never hit its claimed 120db at a reasonable measuring distance. Putting your db meter right against the speaker doesn’t count, 1 meter distance is the standard. Barely any bass. Rattles at high volume. Looking at it, it appears to be a generic car 2-way 6x9 speaker in a plastic box.

Related speakers: Turtlebox, Turtlebox Gen 2.

How it compares: Just above it: Monster Rockin’ Roller 270 - $181 cheaper, 75 more hours of battery life. Just below it: Turtlebox Gen 2 - $30 cheaper.
