Altec Lansing IMW578L LifeJacket 3, Up to 30 Hours of Battery Life, IP67 Everything Rating: Waterproof, Dirtproof, Snowproof and it Floats! | Royal Blue (IMW578L-RYB)

Great sounds

Bought the mini life jacket. Finally broke after many years of hard hard living. Bought the larger life jacket. Just as good! Superb sound, easy to connect and water/dirt proof. Can take a fall. Or 30. Lights are cool. Can use it to charge phone etc too. I like this

I had an Altec Lansing wifi speaker that my daughter gave me for Christmas probably 15 years ago. It went to the sand pit with me and I used it all the time with my Ipad. Loved it. But it recently starting to sound a little garbled so I decided to get me another Altec Lansing wifi speaker. Good things don't last forever. I saw this one which is the same basic looking speaker as the one I had. Waterproof, Rubberized exterior. But this one is almost 25% bigger than my old one and sounds 100% better. Much more bass. The charger plug is the same which is nice. Love it and very highly recommend this wifi speaker!!

I read some of these reviews and I know from Amazon, you have to sift through and decide for yourself. Altec Lansing is a GREAT brand and has great products. I stand behind this brand entirely. Altho, I do agree, the bass has alot of high points, it still sounds WAY better than some other brands. I had read a few reviews that this speaker had stopped working at the beach or whatever. I know EXACTLY why this happened. Here is your SOLUTION: I am an IT nerd and deal with electronics all the time. A bluetooth speaker itself clearly has a motherboard in much the same way computers do. Those connections are very closely related. The rubber outside comes off. Gently snap it off at the dip-ins on the speaker mess. Next, you will take a flat head and GENTLY put it in between the mesh and blue part of the speaker. On the BACK of the speaker. Sinch up the mesh slowly going around it. It will slide out little by little. There are 6 (six) screws that are deep inside some holes. This is a small phillips. You will need it long to get inside. Make sure you dont loose the screws. Once getting the screws out gently pull the front and back apart along the seam you see once the rubber protecter is off. You will see the mother board with all the buttons, some wires and the cillinder battery. You will have to take the screw out on the battery holder thing. Once you get that loose, pull the connection entirely. BE CAREFULL! These are very small wires and can pull out the plastic connection. You want the whole insert to come out. Then replace the connection. Press the power button. It should say "Welcome to Altec Lansing!" If you hear that, you did it! You may gently pull the other connections and replace them. But I would believe that this is the battery connection getting jarred loose during shipping. The other thing this does is RESETS the motherboard. It could be that it freezes up because it is also programmed with the lights to react to the music. This SHOULD solve any issue if it "just" stops working. If this does not, and you were patient and gentle with the speaker not destroying anything. Be careful putting everything back together. Call and ask for a return. I would hope this helps other customers with this issue. Make sure the battery is CENTERED ENTIRELY! You do NOT want the the battery trying to cling to the speakers' magnets. Also, re-adjust the wires that are the main power source so you have extra slack when you put it in. Dont forget the piece that screws on for the battery to stay in place. 4 stars because this connection issue SHOULD NOT exist. But please people dont disappoint your kids or get upset if you do have the patience or know somebody that can help you do this. It is quite easy. This COULD be the same issue with some of your other bluetooth products as well. Another thing to keep in mind.... the battery CAN BE REPLACED! Just find one here with the same connection and wires!

Great sound quality. Is slightly larger than their previous one we bought. Portable on the go speaker great for your music. We actually used in one of our cars that didn’t have a radio and it made the drive much more tolerable with teenagers! Ha! Easy to set up on your Bluetooth.

Don’t bother ! I thought this would be as good as Altec speakers I have had in the past like the IM9 , this thing is not loud nor does it hold a charge . Worst speaker I have ever owned ! It is portable and does hook up to Bluetooth without issue it just doesn’t impress in the sound department! Charging is a real issue as well , takes forever to charge and dies soon after ! Buyer beware

This is a replacement for the one I bought years ago and wore out. The old one went everywhere: garage, camping, work sites, and it held up beautifully. I finally bought a new one. The sound quality is great; it holds a charge for so long that we forget that we actually need to charge it from time to time. We even use this when we have movie night in the woods. It's loud enough that all of us can hear the movie. It's been a great product that is well worth the money.

Fits great under my windshield bag on my Harley FLSTC. I can't give an honest opinion on the battery life, as I keep a charging wire connected while riding. It's loud enough to hear over my true dual Samson pipes at lower to mid speeds but is difficult to hear running over 70mph. It is not as loud as the LifeJacket 2. I can hear the LJ2 running at 80mph. Only reason I bought this LJ3 is because a speaker has cracked on the LJ2, and some said the LJ3 was louder, but it's not. So, in a pool, inside a vehicle, a room, patio, etc, this speaker is loud and clear enough, and at lower speeds running loud Harley exhausts. Should hear it fine if running on a quite exhaust motorcycle.

Recibí el día de hoy el producto, en las especificaciones viene que contiene un soporte y no lo tiene!

Very happy with my purchase fir the price

Hace mas de 5 años adquirí un Lifejacket 2 y la experiencia fue grandiosa: no solo por su calidad de reproducción y su excelente volumen, la duración de la pila aguantaba 3 rutas sin carga, mas de una vez lo utilice como power back para mi cel, la distancia de su alcance es insuperable a lo que actualmente hay en el mercado; Desde el principio adapte la bocina a los manillares de mis 3 bicicletas de montaña y la lleve todas las rutas que he hecho en estos años, aguanto polvo, lluvias, lodo, salpicaduras de agua de ríos, y caídas durante un lustro completo sin ningún daño, además de climas extremos: desde -6 grados hasta 48 centígrados. Previamente había utilizado altavoces Philips, Bose, JBL y Boom, algunas de ellas con mejor calidad de audio pero ninguna bocina me había aguantado tanto "mal trato exterior" ni me había dado tantas horas de felicidad (reproducción de música) en mis rutas y competencias de senderismo. Por todo lo anterior cuando vi esta nueva versión (Lifejacket 3) con mejoras adicionales: 30 horas de duración de batería (vs 16 de la versión previa), luces incorporadas, 3 botones mas para mayor funcionalidad (solo 3 la versión previa), no dude en comprarla, sin embargo el volumen de su audio es mucho menor, y los parlantes se reventaron en el segundo mes, no se si bajaron el nivel de calidad ó me salió una bocina con defecto, pero estoy decepcionado
