The DEFENDER

Had this speaker out on the boat using it the first time, a part broke on the boat causing it to sink and this speaker stayed 10ft under water with the boat for 5 hours until it floated up and worked perfectly fine

Best speaker I've had and the cutest there is! Loud enough to place on the sandbar and still hear it in the water ! Great for hanging out on the lake or river !

I wanted a Turtlebox so bad but couldn’t bring myself to spend that much money on a speaker. I started researching similar speakers and watching comparison videos. The EcoXGear Defender had great reviews and I loved that I could get it in pink. So far the speaker has been amazing and it is very loud. I love all the features it has and can’t wait to take it everywhere this summer.

Speaker is awesome, deep base with no distortion, however i gave it 3 stars instead of 5 because the charging cable came damaged almost like someone just thru in the box. Hopefully it wasn't being used being i paid for a new one. Now i have a $300 speaker that i can't charge until i get a replacement. Emailed customer support, for $300 this should not happen.

Great speaker for outdoor activities. Very loud but clear sound. I do wish you could turn the bass down more than the 3 settings. Holds a charge all day long on the boat.

Great Speaker for the money. Very comparable to the Turtlebox at almost half the price. Sound quality is great and is loud for its size. Bought this for my sons little league walk up music and it did the job. The only other speakers that were louder than this one at the ball park were the Sound Boks and JBL Party Box which are not only double or triple the price of the ECOXGEAR, but also much bigger. This speaker also has a few more bells and whistles than the Turtlebox like a LED flashlight, a bottle opener, two handles and LED speaker back lighting (which can be turned off). Durability is great as it has been dropped from the tailgate multiple times and still functions great, as well as being dust proof, which if you have been to baseball tournaments you know you leave covered in dust. I cannot speak for the waterproof rating but feel it would do great as well. The only cons I have found is if you turn the volume all the way up on your connected device (phone) the speaker will cut out. You have to leave the volume at one level before being maxed out. This is most likely done to protect the speaker its self and can be annoying but is not a deal breaker. The battery life is very good as I have used it for multiple baseball games without charging, but have noticed that if it is around half charged or less the speaker doesn't seem as loud. Overall this speaker has a great look, is very portable and has great sound. I have started using it on a daily basis as a home gym speaker and even used it as a sound system for sports and movies

Very comparable to sound output of TurtleBox, plus LEDs, plus a Hi/Med/Lo flashlight, plus bottle opener, plus rugged rubberized exterior, plus dual handle with tie off/hook points.And, 2/3 the cost of TurtleBox.The decision was easy and I�m curious how long until I buy another one. Cheers

I�m a fan of rugged, loud, and bass heavy speakers. This is exactly that plus some. I�ve listened to Turtlebox speakers and this one is way better. More affordable as well. Will be purchasing a second one to pair them up.

Absolutely LOVING my Defender. It�s now my go-to speaker for camping, tailgating, in the garage...I use it everywhere! There are a couple EQ settings for indoor and outdoor use, so the audio is always dialed-in, and the LED lights add vibe. The flashlight and USB-C out charge port are also super handy. Seems like they thought of everything here, but most importantly, this thing bumps, sounds sweet, and is freaking loud!!!

Waterproof! Perfect for the lake, or pool! Must purchase!

I�m beyond impressed with the Defender. This thing gets LOUD!!! It�s the perfect pool and beach speaker. We�ve taken it in the sand, saltwater and my kids swim with it in the pool. It�s built like a tank while still easy to carry around. The best part is the sound quality. I didn�t think a Bluetooth speaker could get so loud and keep such a clean sound. If you�re looking for a high-end sound that can handle the outdoors, I highly recommend the Exoxgear Defender.

I�d like to first start out by saying how awesome this company�s customer service team is! I was less than impressed with the product I received and made it known in my review. I was contacted shortly by customer service who went out of their way to help me see the quality of their product by sending me a new unit! I�ve only taken the new one out of the box and tested for a minute, but it is awesome! Blown away by the sound quality! Will most definitely tell my friends about this product! Can�t wait to show it off!

Very loud speaker. Seems to be as loud as the turtle box and not as much money, seems to have a good battery life as well. I have the sound bar in my side by side which does very well also.

It came packaged pretty good. Well to make it sweet and short, it jams liki ****,to be honest!! Very good to piss a neighbor off!!!! LMAO takes a little time to charge but it lasts a couple days of jamming. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS SPEAKER!! GO FOR IT!!! For the price you cannot beat it !

Reminiscent of those teenage summers spent on the Ford tractors working for my uncle, where he always had those fender mounted radios on his tractors, I decided to add one to my current tractor to make those Saturdays spent mowing 15 acres a little less bland! And so�.I bought one. And so�.I was highly disappointed! Todays �stereo� radios with those 2 little speakers are just no match for those old single monaural AM radio speakers from the tractor radios of the 70�s! Running a tractor at PTO speed with a mower, you just couldn�t hear it. So I thought�I don�t really need a radio, all I really needed was a robust Bluetooth capable speaker. So after some reading, I decided to give this unit a try. WOW! Tractor at 1,800 RPM, 6� mower whirling behind me, and this speaker wasn�t even straining! I know it�s designed more for cookouts, and pool parties, etc., but if you�re spending time on an open station tractor and looking for some tunes�.look no further than this unit. You won�t be disappointed. (And yes, I made the bracket to hang the speaker from the overhead canopy frame!)

Added a skin and made a paracord handle. Speaker sounds great so far. I'll update if anything changes.

I had a Demerbox previously and while at the beach sometimes in wind it was harder to hear the Demerbox. The ECOXGEAR blows the Demerbox away with sound and this was most important to me. You could hear the ECOXGEAR clearly in major beach wind. It may not last as long in terms of construction as the Demerbox as this is a new product for me but my mind was blown in terms of audio quality. The speaker size is clearly larger than the Demerbox. There is a big sound difference if you play it inside and accidentally have outdoor mode on. This has deep bass but is adjustable through the equalizer on whatever app you are using on your phone and while bass is max you still have clear sound.

This new speaker ROCKS! its has amazing sound... especially for its compact size. I decided to try this out over Turtlebox because I own another of their units from years back which I got at Costco and it still works.These guys really know what they are doing. its completely waterproof. My son was taking the speaker to the bottom of the pool and letting it float back to the surface. its a rock solid unit. Heavy and sturdy handles on the side.The LED lights are very bright. If you swim at night they create great lighting effects in the water. More fun. The LED button is a little annoying to scroll thru all the options. But i found they have an app in the android store that lets you control the colors and sequences . The app makes it much better.As far as sound quality goes, its Insanely loud. The bass response is very deep. I have only played with the EQ settings a little bit. But its nice that they are right there with a touch of a button. I dont think Turtlebox has that. Plus the unit will connect and sync to my Golf cart speaker.We had it on the boat and it was louder than the motor. it was fun to have it floating in the lake with the speaker floating speaker up. We got back to the dock late and it was dark. So I turned on the flashlight to help me tie up the boat and put the cover on. Its just a fun smart design...

I was not paid for this review and i paid full price for the product. I don't normally do reviews, but it's refreshing to see a quality product with obviously custom and thoughtful design so here it goes.Take the highest quality powerful speaker that puts out huge sound to fill the biggest space and add an intuitive well designed interface and you have the Ecogear defender.It's tempting to buy cheap knockoffs but it won't have the sound quality. Even at max volume, the bass is full.Unlike many systems with just a couple of non descriptive buttons, this has a big row of intuitive buttons for easy music management without using a phone app. Many quality touches you'll only appreciate after using like backlit buttons. So nighttime usage is easy. And the LED lightshow is fun at night too.If you're conditioned to questionable Chinese knockoffs that last one season, you'll be blown away by the quality. This is solid with 2 enormous comfortable handles with tie down holes plus 4 big rubber feet. Every aspect feels solid and well worth the money.

We love our Defender in Orange and the Ecoextreme 2 in Orange!! Thank you to all from the Bassmasster classic expo and the 2 Great guys from the Hotel. We appreciated all the info on the products and it Sold us!!! Already got some TN Vols stickers on them! Can't wait to use them this summer camping and out on the lake!

Nice surprise with the quality sound in this portable outdoor, all weather speaker. Going to be great used at the fire pit and grilling outdoors.
