Portable Speaker - wireless speakers, outdoor speakers


This speaker "a single speaker unit". worked well initialy. I was actually amazed at the sound. But the after storing the unit over the winter the buttons needed to be pushed several times to get them going again. Now the third season the system will not work at all. I am looking at other systems to replace this system. Audio Unlimited SPK-ROCK2 Add-on Rechargeable Wireless Rock Speaker (Each, Granite)

*This speaker does not use 6-C batteries as stated*. It has a built-in 12V AH rechargeable battery that needs to be initially charged for 15 hours. It is too new to determine how long it last between charges, but will charge and play when connected to the supplied indoor only AC adapter. The wireless performance initially seems less than the SPK-VELO speakers which I have and also use with it's supplied transmitter. The SPK-ROCK2 is hefty, well built and much darker in color than the pictures. It tends to provide a muddy sound and is much more finicky on location for optimal reception from the wireless transmitter. It does not include any remote volume control like the VELO, so adjustments require local button pushing and because of the type of tone, can vary depending on music. Have not had much of a chance to fully evaluate it's overall capabilities, but does deliver deep sound that can help fill in the tone of other speakers in an outside environment and Amazon's price is very good.

The sound is good, set up is simple, and it looks enough like a rock to fit in well with the outdoor landscaping. Could use a remote control capability to control the source audio from outside, and change the volume, but I didn't really expect that. It would also be nice if the base unit could be run on batteries, allowing even more flexibility. All things considered, a very nice speaker for the price, and you can enjoy music outdoors without having it blasting away inside, or wires running out of windows, etc.

I received this system free with the purchase of an INTEX above ground pool from Meyers. The set-up and sound was more than I expected. It was not more than a few uses before I had trouble getting the power button to work properly. I would have to push it over and over again which was very frustrating, stored it for the winter and on its first use it automatically shut off with no success or it working since. Hope you do not have the same problems.

We are loving the rock speakers - we use them by the pool and they run all day long off the rechargable batteries. Also we use them around the house so we have music in every room now. When you are very distant from the base, there can be a little popping noise but it rarely happens. We put our transmitter inside a cabinette and there are lots of walls in the way so I was amazed it works so well. I highly recommend them!

Already had.purchased the base bit and liked it. This speaker worked immediately with the sending unit for the first. The two speakers work well throughout the backyard for good background sound for parties. Highly recommend these speakers.

I ordered two speakers. At first, one made a thumping noise every 15 seconds, the other speaker worked fine. The next time I used them, both speakers sounded perfectly clear and loud. Wish I had remote to operate volume levels because I am always adjusting sound to match volume levels of specific songs, some heavy and some soft. Other than that, I enjoyed them and will buy them again. The dollar value was right and transaction and delivery went smoothly as expected.

After reading the reviews, I was anxious to get these wireless speakers & try them out. The set up is easy and the sound is great. Initially, we purchased one (which sounded very good), but added a second and are very pleased . Our friends can't believe they are wireless. These speakers sound better than the more expensive "wired" ones our friend has. - Wireless Speakers - Portable Speaker - Outdoor Wireless Speakers - Outdoor Speakers'
