Solar Bluetooth Enabled Rock Speaker - Gray

This is one of the best things purchased through Amazon. We have had it for two years. It stays outside all the time in the New England spring, summer, and fall. We bring it inside in the winter. It’s first charged we plugged it in. From then on the solar panel has powered it. It is always charged outside which is exactly what I wanted. We go out to the pool and can just turn it on and it powers right up. Even after the winter it didn’t need to be plugged in to charge just charged from the solar panels. Other wireless speakers would lose a charge then we’d go to bring them outside and they would need to be charged. This just always read when needed. It also has great sound that spreads throughout my yard and patio. We love it!

I had this speaker since June 2023. It worked great for me. I only power charged it the first time and since then it was solar powered only. I was doing yard work yesterday and wanted to turn on my music and it would not start or connect. I am in Portland Oregon, so a lot of gloomy days lately so maybe not enough sun to charge it. I will plug it in today and see if that will do the trick, but if not, I got great 2.5 years out of it for about $50 something and see that they are currently on sale so I'd get a replacement.

This speaker is great for outdoors. It stays charged as long as the solar panel is placed where it gets full sun. I bring it in when I know it is going to rain just to protect it, but It has been out in the rain a few times and held up fine. It connects really well and seems to have a good distance. It will connect when I am in the house so I have to be sure to disconnect it on my phone. It easy to move but the sound seems better when placed higher up like on a table. I would but this speaker again.

The Speakers are great. Pairing was easy and connection stays steady. Sound quality is great. When we had difficulty with the solar charger on one of the units Alpine replaced it. AWESOME customer service. Highly recommend Alpine and these speakers

we bought this for use out by our pool and hot tub. We have the surround sound in our living room wired to two ceiling mounted speakers on our patio, but the receiver treats them as an additional pair of rear channel speakers, so for the music to be audible over the sound of the hot tub, we have to have it really loud inside the house, which is usually fine for when we're having a party, but not ideal for every day use. This speaker is a nice compromise. Just pair with your phone and play some music. The sound quality is decent -- pretty much on par with any decent boombox. My only complaint overall is that as you turn the volume up, it seems to aggressively compress the audio signal and roll off more and more bass, I'm guessing to favor volume and clarity over audio fidelity. Don't expect deep booming bass or you'll be disappointed, but at normal listening levels the mids and highs are articulated and clear. The volume level is good, we had it up pretty loud last night and didn't notice any distortion at a level that was uncomfortably loud. We haven't used it long enough to run the batteries out yet so I can't really speak to how long it lasts but we used it for a few hours after the sun went down and it lasted well into the evening when we decided to wrap it up for the night. It would be nice if you could pair more than one of these to the same phone, but for the purpose of getting music out by the pool, this does the job well.

This thing is useless; it is designed to be outside and to connect with your phone. The problem is that in order to connect Bluetooth phone to it you have to be right next to it. That would not have been a problem if it needed to be done once, but the thing is, it has to reconnect every single time you want to use it. What’s the point of setting it into my landscape when I have to go right up to it and climb over all my plants in order to connect to it? Second issue: whatever Bluetooth version is installed in this (I believe it’s 4.0, we are at 5.2 now) it is miserable! It keeps constantly disrupting the music which means it’s not strong enough. For example, I am floating in my pool with my phone, 4” inches below the landscape surface and this speaker looses Bluetooth signal. Immediately! Like a clockwork. I tried it many times. I can raise the phone above the landscape surface and here we go, it works again. What is this? Third: 50 feet range? Alpine, you should get sued for this misrepresentation! 20 absolute max and I am already loosing Bluetooth signal. You are all better off with a $50 Bluetooth speaker than this. I am incredibly disappointed.

I love this thing. No the sound quality is not the best but it gets pretty loud. And it’s lasted through rain and snow and crazy Ohio weather. It’s been about a year and Ive never actually had to use the plug to charge it, the solar charger does a great job. It’s just a fun thing to have in your garden. And I’m not worried about it being stolen cause it looks like a rock. Perfect

The speaker works like it is intended, but make no mistake, you have to be pretty close to the device to not lose connectivity. There are times when i carry my phone in my pocket as I do yard work and i am 5-10 feet away from it and connectivity is lost. Its really bad! Sound is okay, not the greatest but it is just okay. My wife likes the device because how easy it is to connect to, we keep it outside, turn our phones on and tap into the speaker, that part is super convenient but make no mistake, this unit is no match to our little JBL Flip 4, So, if solar is not an issue for you, take a look at the JBL Flip 4 at least, it is less than this Rock speaker and sound and clarity are way better.

Great unit for the backyard! Sound is good and looks great. Easily goes for 8-10 hours on a charge

Se ve bien, tiene buen sonido y no hay cables de por medio

Great quality

It seems OK but haven't really put it to the test yet we'll see by this time next year... It would be good if you could pair them

I bought it 2-3 months ago. Since then I am enjoying nice music on my backyard. Blends with the surrounding nature and the only intrusion is the music you want to listen. Easy PNP, good sound quality and fidelity and so far no need for any charging as it is solar powered. I would have liked a stereo one and that is what I am missing
