I have been using my cousins turtle box for the last couple months and was looking at getting myself one. Well I came across the defender one day on Facebook and boy am I glad. The defender is louder has better bass and I love the LED lights in the speaker. Very user friendly. As for how tough it is I can't say yet as I just got it today. But I'm also very impressed with the customer service ecoxgear offers. They were very helpful with my questions more than once. At only a fraction of the price of theyre competitors, you can't go wrong buying they're speaker.
Great product!! Was on the beach today our neighbors had a turtle box we blew them out.
This little box throws off some serious sound and quality. I can tell by the build this will hold up under any condition. Glad I purchased this over the Turtle Box. Saved $150!
When I bought the Ecoxgear Boulder, it showed up brand new with a battery that lasted about two hours. I used it only for backyard parties so it was always plugged in. Two years later, I tried to use it without a 110 outlet and the battery would only last about ten minutes. I bought this new battery straight from the website. It showed up in about three days. I charged it without using it first. The first thing I noticed different from the original was it was already almost fully charged. After fully charging it, I left it on for a full 10 hours to test it. When I came home from work, it still had three out of four bars left on the battery indicator. Can’t believe this battery lasts so long compared to the original. But it will be much nicer with this new battery.
