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.

I ordered this item on Friday and received it on Monday with super saver shipping amazing fulfillment. I was skeptical of the 3" speaker and thought they would sound tinny but this device makes a great sound. I am very impressed with how it handles bass. I plan on using this for my kayak and hanging out at the beach. I might even let it float so far this device is amazing. I will keep you posted on how well it holds up through spring break!

Just received the Eco Terra and so far I think this is a quality product with durability. I compared the sound with my other portable speakers: Logitech, Dewalt and the smaller Eco extreme. I found the sound of the Eco Terra to be similar to the Logitech,which is smaller in size. Better sound quality although not as loud as the Dewalt, which I use when I need something more rugged, the Dewalt is also much bigger and heavier. The Eco Terra was better in sound quality and in volume than the Eco extreme, which I love and use for kayaking, hiking.I then let it sit under running water and found no leaks and it still worked great. Although I am little worried of the clear middle portion not being so durable, it is set in between the speakers so that when the Eco Terra sits on its face,the more rugged speaker parts touch the surface where as the middle does not. Here are the pros: good size & portability, rugged, good sound, love the aux and ac inputs,the rubber legs which makes it sit up off the ground and tilts it back for better sound and durability, control buttons, carabiners, waterproof and MP3 protection. The cons: the price, the FF,rev and play buttons did not work for my older iPod ( manual states that these buttons are designed to work with iPhone),I would have liked to have seen a rechargeable internal battery instead of lugging around C batteries. Overall, I am very happy with this product and camping with it in the northwest will be a blast as you never know what the weather will be like.

Excellent sound from a small package. I am very pleased with the versatility of the radio. You can hang it on a chair at the beach and listen to you iPod touch or iPhone without concern for sand or unexpected showers. The only things that would improve it would be if it had a remote control and came in crimson instead of orange.

After reading the reviews on this product, I decided to give it a try. I was thinking how cool it would be to have speakers on my raft. I put the batteries in and played it at home. The speakers weren't all the way loud, as expected, but I was willing to compromise to get something waterproof. I put it in my raft, in the back and out of the splash zone. It broke within 5 minutes of being on the water. On/off buttons simply stopped working; it was dead. Later the on button would make the indicator light blink but it still would not play music. Clearly, it was haywire. My mp3 player was working inside the window, but the POS boombox had died. There are better non waterproof boomboxes out there that play louder, truer sound. This isn't waterproof.
