Bought it for beach and everyone was so impressed with the sound quality and volume. I will say that I ordered a turtle box about a week prior to ordering the defender. (I wanted to personally compare). The defender came first and after 2 weeks of still no turtle box, I decided the defender was for perfect me. Not only is the defender so much cheaper than price, their customer service is 100x better.
This is one of the best speakers I have ever had. Stephanie at ECOXGEAR has the best customer service and takes great pride in helping her customers.
I am a huge fan of Ecoxgear, my wife bought me a small orange and black Ecoxgear speaker over 10 year ago and it still works great, connects everytime, battery still lasts, lives in my garage in Texas year round. She just bought me the Defender and I am super impressed by the quality and great sound. A family member has the Turtlebox and was impressed by the sound quality and the additional features my Defender has.
