Waterproof Stereo Boombox
I consider myself somewhat of an "expert" on portable Ipod boomboxes as I
buy a new one very year. I'm always looking for that perfect
combination of functionality and performance, which I haven't found yet.
PROS
It really is lightweight, durable and waterproof
Controls are smart and functional
It runs on "C" batteries as opposed to being rechargeable - if you're camping you can bring extra batteries
CONS
The problem withis unit is that it just doesn't have enough clean volume for a lot of outdoor environments. I used it on a fairly noisy beach (waves crashing, kids playing, other music, etc.) and I had it at about 90% volume (any more and the distortion is noticeable). I needed to have it about 3-4 feet away to clearly hear the music.
Also the Ipod geta a little hot when used in the sun.
BOTTOM LINE
A great device unless you need some volume. That's why I gave it 3 stars. If I was the manufacturer I would design an alternate model with about 150% of the size and sound volume that runs on "D" batteries.
