iFox Portable Bluetooth Shower Speaker, IPX7 Waterproof Outdoor Wireless Speaker, Built-in Mic, Carabiner, Beach, Camping, Hiking, Pool, Great Gift, Black/Gold

I’ve been using the iF012 for a month now and so far it has been great. I’ve used it mostly in the shower, where it has been easy to control and puts out very respectable sound for a small waterproof Bluetooth speaker. Worth noting that it has connected both flawlessly and extremely quickly (typically in 1-2 seconds) every time I’ve used it. One very small quirk to note - for me, the speaker often starts out at a volume that differs from what my phone is set to (often much louder). It’s not an issue at all, as raising or lowering the volume a notch on my phone after pairing resets the volume to the desired level immediately. Just something for buyers to be aware of (it made me jump the first few times I pressed play and wasn’t ready for it).The highlight so far though was on a recent camping trip, where we rented a boat for the day. Fortunately, I thought to bring the speaker along to have some waterproof music. The boat actually had a built-in sound system but it wasn’t working, so the speaker came in super handy. It performed surprisingly well, keeping us all entertained - even as a rainstorm moved in and pelted us for a solid hour.Waterproof, check. Loud, check. Small and easy to pack, check. Long battery life (even at max volume), check. Well worth the investment.

5/27/20 UPDATE: I have changed my rating back to 5 stars, not only for the speaker but for iFox Creations as well. I sent an email to iFox regarding my broken speaker and I received a response the next day with an apology about the speaker no longer working. Today, I received a new speaker as promised. Thank you, Margo Dillon, for your quick response. It is great to see that companies, such as iFox Creations will honor the warranty on their product, and will replace their product should it fail during the warranty period. The only problem I have now is having to wait until the Stay In Place orders are lifted so I can dispose of it properly. 😷5/21/20 UPDATE: Sadly I must charge my rating to 2.5 stars. I purchased my speaker on 6/16/19 and approximately 2 months ago, the sound coming from my speaker sounded like a rattle was in the background. Then it would only work when it was plugged in. Now it no longer works! I will contact the seller to see if they will replace it since it is under the 1-year warranty.I like the iFox iF012 Bluetooth Shower Speaker but I am not sure if it is a new product. The box was a bit damaged and the speaker and wires were not wrapped in any protected plastic. This is another reason why I think it is not a new speaker. I was ironing when it was delivered and I immediately plugged it in so it could charge. The directions say 3 hours, but by the time I had ironed two shirts, it had a full charge! I also noticed the base is black and many other pictures show the base as a clear color, but that isn't as big of an issue for me since the speaker itself is black.1st day I received it, I attached it to the wall of my shower and walked away. 2:00 a.m. we heard a loud crash that scared us silly. We thought someone had thrown something through the windows of the bathroom. Turn on the light to look around and once our heart beats returned to somewhat normal, we noticed the speaker was on the shower floor and decided the loud crash was from it falling off the wall and bouncing around in the shower. Thankfully no glass or tiles were broken and I sat it on the corner of the tub. The next morning, I attached it to the bottom of the glass shower door during my shower but I remove it after my shower just in case it decides to fall again.I wish I could tone down the bass. I listen to a lot of books and the voices are not very clear and the music is too much as well. I have to turn down the speaker and my phone and/or tablet considerably. I tried modifying the base and treble sounds using my phone and tablet but it's just too much for my liking - kinda sounds like a symbol or metal hitting metal with voices and if volume is turned up. This little speaker does put out a lot of sound, and because of it's size, you wouldn't think the bass would be so deep, but it is!All in all, I like the speaker and the cost is great. I am thinking of buying another one to keep downstairs - perhaps on Prime Day. 😉UPDATE: July 5, 2019 -- I have changed my rating from 4 stars to 4 stars. I contacted iFox regarding my concerns regarding the sound and if my speaker was new, and I received an immediate (within 2 hrs) response from Margo. This lady is on top of customer service issues! She apologized for the issues and advised me that she ordered a replacement speaker for me. I was not expecting that at all. This was on 7/1 and I received the replacement today - probably would have received it sooner if not for the 4th of July holiday.Although I have not had a chance to charge the speaker or to see if the sound is better, I give Margo 👍👍 for making me feel like she and iFox care about their customers and wanting their customers to be happy. Because of this, I'm going to order another one to put downstairs as well as one for a friend. By the way, the replacement has a black base to it as well, but the replacement was packages differently.

I bought the iFox iF012 Bluetooth Shower Speaker two months ago, for use in the shower. I’ve reviewed this product based on my experiences with this product in that space of time.WHO?If you love music, this product is for you. This speaker is especially good if you’re looking for something small and portable. It doesn’t even have to be for the shower! Since it is waterproof, it’s a very versatile product. Of course, it’s great for in the shower, because the splash of the water has no effect on the quality. It’s also great in the bath. If you drop it, the speaker can be submerged in water and still play just fine! This speaker would also be great for camping, kayaking, car trips, and just as a general around-the-home speaker.WHY?The three things that stood out to me the most about this speaker was its sound quality, its durability, and its battery life. This speaker has great quality of sound. The bass is deep, and the volume gets loud enough for anyone to enjoy.The resistance to water is an awesome addition that widens the possibilities of what you can do with it. This speaker is great if you’re on a budget, since the price is low and the quality is high. The suction cup on the back could be a little stronger, hence the four star review. Every time I stick this to my shower wall, it falls off the next day. However, this speaker does appear to be very durable and shock resistant as well, because the fall has never damaged the sound!The charge on this lasts a very long time, making this a great addition to outdoor activities. I’ve had this product for two months and only needed to charge it once. It’s also very easy to quickly get your Bluetooth device synced up to the speaker. Once your device is synced to the speaker, the buttons on the speaker itself can be a bit confusing, but one look at the simple instruction manual will explain everything.This product is wonderful and, for the price, it can’t be beat. There aren’t many speakers at this price point that will give you a better sound output, a longer battery life, or a more durable product overall.
