This is my third bluetooth water rugged speaker and the one I have liked the least
by Amazon Customer (2 out of 5 stars)
March 27, 2018

I have not returned this item but I do not care for it. This is my third bluetooth water rugged speaker and the one I have liked the least. It is difficult to power on and off, there is no option to keep it from automatically switching to your phone during calls (this is not a phone issue, but device issue - because my other devices had this feature), and the overall quality is poor. I actually would return it but I threw away all the packaging because I did not imagine how much I would dislike this speaker. Don't waste your money. Find another one.

Best waterproof speaker on the market. Great Sound!
by Andres Roque (5 out of 5 stars)
March 7, 2016

I LOVE this product. I've had it for over a year and its held up under all conditions. Syncs easily. Impressive sound quality and volume for such a small speaker. Perfect for hanging by the pool, taking a hike in a rainforest (while its raining), or taking to the beach. Pretty much anywhere you wouldn't want electronics this speaker can handle it, just don't submerge it in water. It has an AUX port and charges with a mini USB. The charge holds up really well, roughly 7 hours of consecutive play at high volume on a single charge. You can also play music while its charging. Awesome little product. My favorite speaker thus far. AND its got a caribiner for clipping onto backpacks or luggage for all you active types who enjoy music on the go.

Well worth the money.
by Brit W. (5 out of 5 stars)
October 19, 2017

I had bought this because I have been looking for a portable speaker that I could use to play music using my phone since my old stand no longer works. I was also wanting one that was relatively waterproof so I could use it in the shower or outside. I have had the speaker for about a month or two and it has worked excellent. I have only had to charge it 3 different times after multiple sessions of listening between 15 minutes and a couple hours at a time. It is a about the size of my hand so it is compact but still can have a lot of power if you are outdoors. I would not recommend this for a large party or anything but it definintely works for a small group or just by your self. Very easy to use and the clip is nice to be able to hang on something if you are outside somewhere. Highly recommend.

Good rugged speaker... cuts out sometimes. Overall I like it.
by DuckWhisperer99 (4 out of 5 stars)
June 26, 2015

Been using this product for a few months now.. and I like it. It's not the loudest speaker on the planet.. but it works for what I use it for. I have used it out camping and backpacking and it's plenty loud when sitting around the fire at night. It is pretty rugged too. I like the fact that it can get wet and muddy. That's why I picked this speaker, because I know I'm going to beat the crap out of it. So far its held up great.

The main thing I don't like about this speaker is that the Bluetooth signal cuts out pretty easily. If I have my phone in my pocket and the speaker sitting on a table.. I can turn a certain direction, or bend over to pick something up, and the signal breaks up.. Could be my iphone 5s. I'm really not sure. I also think the carabiner should be metal, or just have a metal loop where I can attach my own...but the plastic one hasn't broken yet, so we will see.

tough, loud, good for city bicycling, easy to use.
by Frankie (4 out of 5 stars)
September 28, 2015

Great product, decent bass, pretty good volume, not too clunky. I live in NYC and can hear it over most traffic while bicycling (though when biking through a freeway under a train line, I can't hear it at all, but that is LOUD). People on sidewalks from across the street can hear and laugh and dance sometimes if I'm playing pop music. I agree with other reviewers that the buttons should be easier to differentiate, but I put nail polish on mine as well, so it's a pretty easy fix. I did have some issues with the Bluetooth cutting out, but then I realized it was because my phone was trying to use WiFi that I had biked away from. So I just have to make sure to turn off my WiFi before I take off. I love the clip. I dropped it once and nothing happened, it works exactly the same. I haven't used it in rain or snow yet, so not sure about the durability. I've never used Bluetooth anything before this product and I found it very easy to use and set up. I recommend this product.

Tremendous sound and amazing speakerphone!
by Gadget Guru (5 out of 5 stars)
October 3, 2019

I bought the All Terrain Sound speaker b/c I wanted something that I could move from the shower to the car easily and would be durable enough to make frequent trips. The sound quality for my podcasts and my playlists was fantastic! Since my car is not equipped with bluetooth, the All Terrain Sound speaker was my replacement solution and the sound FILLED the vehicle. It has great midrange and bass for its size which was really impressive. From the shower to the car, the sound quality is impeccable!

After using it for nearly 10 hours straight, there was still plenty of juice left, which was also a real pleasant surprise. In a world where the promise of long life batteries abound, the All Terrain actually delivers on the promise! I also found the clever latch very handy to move the speaker from my backpack to the car easily. The included suction cup made it easy to mount it on the upper portion of my windshield for calls, podcasts and music.

Of course the other key test was using it as a speakerphone for phone calls in the car. I knew it was a HUGE improvement over my old speaker b/c virtually everyone remarked how much clearer I sounder to them! I was thrilled b/c it was a big enhancement over my previous business call quality and people were actually commenting on the clarity. That feature alone was enough to further prove that the speaker was well worth the price.

Overall, I am VERY PLEASED with this device and I just wish I had bought it sooner! I would highly recommend this item to everyone who wants a durable Bluetooth speaker that can go "off road" and endure the elements (even if "the elements" consist of shower steam and splashes of water!) as well as perform with terrific sound quality and consistency. Hats off to the team at FRESHeTech on this item.

Awesome speaker poor clip design
by Joe (4 out of 5 stars)
August 11, 2017

This speaker did a great job! for me it played music streaming from my IPhone 6s for 5 plus hours at full volume. I clipped this on to my back pack and took it with me on a Tough Mudder. Speaker was working 100% of the time during the course even after 10 miles of water and mud sometimes fully submerged. Overall very impressed with the performance as were others on course who were singing along to the tunes.

One word of caution however the clip is very weak and in no way industrial strength. I reinforced mine with zip ties around the speaker and attached to my pack. Rating is reduced one star due to poor clip strength/design.

All Terrain for the Win!
by Mikaela Boutot (5 out of 5 stars)

Dear Small James and Grumpy Grandfather Michael,

I thoroughly enjoy this speaker it's perfect for everything I need it for; putting it by the edge of the pool, attaching to my harness for rock climbing, singing in the shower, and sitting at my mirror. It's a great size, about the size of my palm.

I haven't gotten this speaker needlessly wet, it's hooked on the ring to my shower rod and been splashed by the pool but nothing more than that. I have dropped it and it doesn't immediately start a soliloquy about how it was everyone else's fault and then die, in fact it doesn't even remotely complain. The grips on the side of this are great as well, this doesn't budge if you put it on a slippery surface.

The only complaint I can fathom is that the power button can be a bit tricky.

Basically this little speaker a great assurance that no matter what I am doing I will be able to listen to my music or podcast without ruining it.

Great Speaker : Has all functions & features one could ever ask for : Wish was more portable & bit l
by SG (5 out of 5 stars)
August 18, 2014

The All-Terrain Sound ( ATS ) Rugged Bluetooth Waterproof Personal Speakers are everything advertisement claims...

This speaker has a lot going for it...

This speaker has practically every feature a person can ask for and it looks very,very good : nice color accents, cool design, rugged exterior. Manly, yet ok for women too...

While I've not work with the manufacture "FreshETech", they appear to be an up and coming reputable company, that's serious about quality, customer service and are eager and anxious to do whatever it takes ( ethically ) to be a success in product design, features, functionality and customer satisfaction...

The All-Terrain speakers are " excellent " for those needing a " rugged " speaker that can handle the elements ( wet, sandy, dusty, dirty, rocky, etc...).

The reason I emphasis Rugged is because they are a bit more bulkier and expensive than similar speakers its size that don't require environmental and weather protection.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll provide more details below; however, quick summary:

I personally do not need a speaker as rugged as this.

While I like design, functions, features, etc... It's a " bit "

too large, less portable and not as loud as my JBL Clip.

That's not to say the ATS isn't a great speaker, it's all about

application and personal needs.

It cost 1.5x more than my JBL clip

It's not as portable as my JBL Clip which can fit in my shirt pocket

It's not as loud, JBL Clip is noticably a tiny bit louder & fuller sounding

However, if size isn't an issue and one needs a speaker that will be

bashed & banged around, exposed to water, dust, sand, dirt, etc...

Then the ATS is the way to go...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hard to believe, but these speakers appear to be completely " splash proof ":

a. as in you can drop them in water and they'll be ok

b. hang them in shower and it's ok for water to splash & spray on them

c. one video shows them actually playing music while partially submerged

While I've only had the speakers for a few days, it looks built to last and I feel confident that FreshETech would be there for me if I encountered any problems, why, because they immediately sent me an email after purchasing their speakers introducing themselves; what company ever does that nowadays...

To see video demonstration and review of this product, go to youtube and search for the following two videos:

All-Terrain Sound in water: Speaker in Water : ~47 seconds
&
"All Terrain Sound" ~ 26:11 minutes
2nd video by a person who calls himself "The Greek Redneck". Good video.

What I like about the speaker:
1. It looks very, very good.
2. It appears to be very rugged.
3. The spring loaded clip is versatile and functional.

d. Rubberized tire tread is raised so buttons are protected. No accidental pressing, bumping, etc...

e. Individual buttons for each function: power ( on/off ), volume ( up/down ), skip ( back / foward ), pause/answer phone.

f. Long battery life ~10hrs continuous playing & only 90 mins for full charge...

I carry the JBL Clip or JBL Micro Wireless Portable Ultra-Portable with me practically everywhere, all the time because they are very portable, fit in my shirt pocket, they're loud and can connect to any non-bluetooth speaker to project sound even more.

Features unique to each model:

JBL Clip:
1.5x less expensive

Louder & fuller sound

Can use 2 Amp cell phone charger

Size : Fits in pocket, tablet / laptop sleeve

Can extend bluetooth sound to non-bluetooth speakers

Has attached built in cable that can be plugged into any non - bluetooth speaker ( house, car, etc... ) and sound coming out of JBL speaker can also be heard on whatever speakers the JBLs are connected to. This is a big plus for me as I have lots of legacy non-bluetooth speakers where I use this feature alot. Allows me to play & control music through phone, tablet yet not have to be tethered ( connected and next to non-bluetooth speakers ).

Price isn't an issue if features above were present.

ATS ( All Terrain Sound )

Definitely the better choice if will be exposed to elements ( rain water, sand, dust, dirt ).

Has individual control buttons so can navigate through your music remotely

Has longer batter life. JBL 5hrs : ATS 10-12 hours continuous playing

Cannot use 2 amp cell phone chargers, which is all I have since all my smartphones, tablets and host of other items use 2 amp charges, including JBL speakers...

ATS Recommendations:

Make speaker little bit louder.

Make rubber tread thicker ( protrude / extend beyond edges ) so front and rear of speakers are recessed bit more for protection.

Configure circuitry so it can use 2 amp cell phone chargers. Practically all smartphones, tablets, and PDAs use 2 amps because of bigger batteries.

Miscellaneous:

If I was going to place these speakers on ground, sand, dusty or dirty areas, I'd probably put them in small pouch to protect from scratches since your speaker is so beautiful... Or I'd make sure it's sitting on the tire tread as opposed to rear surface of speaker which is shiny and could be easily marred or scratched.

Final Words:

All said and done, All Terrain Sound speakers are Great.

I'm not as active outdoors as I used to be so I'll hardly ever need the ruggedness that these speakers provide.

However, I may just keep them for use in shower as I like having my music / lectures / audio books / etc... with me wherever I am.

Best of success to FieldETech and all individuals who decide to get this speaker...

I <3 ALL-Terrain
by Shawntae (5 out of 5 stars)

I realize this is long, but there are so many things I want to touch on!

Seriously, if you are on the fence about this, just do it. I did a lot of research on travel speakers and I am so happy I went with this one. The JBL's weren't going to hold up to abuse, the Divoom was good for the price but I know myself and I'd be upset I didn't just spend the extra money and get a superior product. LUCKILY, Amazon had been trying to get my to apply for their credit card for years and I got a huge cash back bonus making this almost free. I've received nothing but great correspondence from the FRESHeTECH team and I am happy to support a private business. After receiving my speaker, for funzies I compared it to the other speakers in stores. Unless you want to drop $200 on a travel speaker, you won't get anything better than this.

I expected it to be really heavy and I was wrong. It's got a great feel too it, definitely doesn't weight you down to take it with you. So far, I've charged it one time and been on 2 bike rides, brought it outside while eating dinner or doing outdoor projects and the battery is still almost fully charged after 6 hours of use. Really nice touch that it shows the battery life next to the bluetooth symbol. Pairing was easy, although it will give preference to whatever device it previously paired with. When I switched phones I had to turn the bluetooth off on my previous phone to connect with my new one. Hasn't been a problem since. I have a pack under my bike seat so I couldn't place it there, but I hooked it on my water bottle holder (because I used a hydration pack) and also around my phone holder (light or handle bars would work too), the clip holds up well and I never worried it would fail. The sound is really good. Gets loud enough to hear but not be obnoxious to others around you. I listen to tech, pop, rock, etc and it handles all nicely. The bass is not lacking but understand this is a tiny speaker, not a car stereo. You have to be realistic with your expectations. (I do plan on doing a video review on YouTube soon so stay tuned for that!)

Just so that you know I'm not an employee I will touch on the...not necessarily bad..but the things that could be improved even though they aren't a big deal. I wouldn't say you need a "beep" every time you hit the volume up or down, but I would like an indicator if I've maxed the volume, sound or light, just some signal. Definitely not a deal breaker. *Hint, if it's not getting louder, it's maxed* :) Maybe offer the orange in different colors. However, I work for a small manufacturer and understand that buying in bulk gets the best price so I completely understand if it's not cost effective and even though I'm a pink girl, the orange is just fine.

Last, read your instructions! This is rugged but it's not indestructible. If you submerge it you could damage the speaker! (Pressure on the speaker is bad...)

Truly, get this product. You are supporting a great company and getting an amazing value. I was concerned about going with an unknown brand but I'm so glad I took the risk and you will be too!
