ZEALOT 120W Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Booming Bass, IP67 Waterproof, Built-in LED Lights & Power Bank | Wireless Outdoor Speaker for Camping, Beach, Pool Parties, Hiking & Home Use (Blue)

ZEALOT once again knocks it out of the park with this speaker!!I've purchased as of today probably a dozen portable blue-tooth speakers over the past couple years from various manufacturers. ZEALOT speakers are quickly becoming a top recognized name in this area with their speakers rivaling anything from top names such as JBL, Bose, or Anker.While many of these portable speakers sound great, there is one area they all typically are lacking in.LARGE BOOMING BASS! It's the biggest problem with portable blue-tooth speakers. How do you make a speaker lightweight, yet portable, and have powerful enough batteries and drivers to give the people what they want? Because who doesn't love bass?ZEALOT seems to have figured it out with this speaker as it's no slouch in that area.With (2) 50watt Woofers on both ends this thing really rocks.Quality:The speaker is designed with a hard plastic shell. It's not made to withstand any sort of drops, but it is waterproof with an IPX6 Rating. For those unfamiliar with what that is, it's an industry standard for measuring a devices protection from solid and liquids. The definition for an IPX6 Rating is:"All devices with IPX6 rating can resist high pressures of water but can’t be submerged in the water. You can use these devices at any place where water exposure is possible but with no chance of submerging totally in water."So basically as long as this is not submerged you have no worries from it getting wet. Perfect for around the pool, at the beach, camping, etc.Portability:This speaker does have some weight to it at around 12 pounds. It's to be expected when you have a larger speaker with the wattage this does. It's not overly heavy though to where you're agonizing over carrying it. It comes included with a heavy duty nylon strap with metal clips that make it easy to put it over a shoulder.Sound Quality :I'm impressed with the quality of the highs and lows. As the beginning of the review stated the bass for a speaker in this portable genre is excellent and the best I have tested to date. There is a button on the unit to switch modes if you prefer less bass, more vocals, higher treble, etc.Battery Life:The battery on this is rated for 40 Hours of playtime. That is one area I have not thoroughly tested as it would take weeks. From previous Zealot speakers I have owned they are pretty accurate with their battery life claims, and depending on how loud you have it you could expect more or less play time.It's nice that you can use the speaker as a power bank. So when we've had it out we bring a charge cable for our phone so while we're streaming music to the speaker the phone never runs out of battery power.It has a battery indicator on it to denote a battery %. Solid green means it's fully charged. Blinking green means over 70% charged. Red is <70% charged.Connections:This speaker comes equipped to handle Bluetooth 5.2.Bluetooth 5.2 has a range of approximately 200 meters, and utilizes Enhanced Attribute Protocol (EATT).This helps to increase stability when using your devices. 5.2 also has a new feature named “Low Energy (LE) Audio.” This feature enables high-quality and low-power audio codecs to gain maximum Bluetooth optimization. 5.3 is still fairly new and I'd hope to see it in a future release or update of this product.It also has options to connect via Aux or a TF Card if your situation works better with those options.This speaker like many others can be daisy chained is desired.I primarily used blue-tooth from my phone in testing and it connected quickly and without any issues on the first try.There are only a few items keeping this speaker from being perfect.-Bluetooth 5.3 would be a nice addition.-Digital Battery Indicator- I have some concern the woofers on the end are open. They do not have any grids or mesh covering them so puncture is potentially possible if not taken caution when handling.Overall Conclusion:This is a very solid speaker with a lot going for it. I'm very impressed with everything about it.Our kids fight over who gets to bring it to hockey games for the locker-room. We've had it camping and had it last the entire weekend on a single charge keeping everyone entertained. Everyone always is commenting about the high sound quality. You can crank the volume without distortion due to the power it has. It has various light modes which are always a hit with the kids. I'm impressed with this ZEALOT speaker and I highly recommend if you're looking for a speaker of this size to stop waiting and order one today!
