"This speaker has great sound," said a five-star fan. "Plenty of base and great overall performance. I took it out to my tractor shed to listen to music. It was dark and I set it on my cultivator as I packed up for the evening and forgot it was there. The next day I cultivated part of our orchard. It started to rain before I finished. It rained for 3 days and I couldn’t find it no matter where I looked. The neighborhood had all of our cars broke in and I assumed it had been stolen so I ordered another. Things dried up and I went to finish cultivating. I noticed something pop up out of the ground out of the corner of my eye. So I stopped and got off the tractor to see what it was. It turned out to be my speaker. It had been barred about 3” underground and wet from all of the rain. I wiped it off and let it dry and I was amazed. It sounded just like my second one. I was very surprised at how well it took that beating and still worked great. This speaker is a keeper. I would recommend it to anyone."

A fellow happy customer said they compared the Flip 5 to Bose. "It is great for taking your music with you anywhere outside. Great sound, and durability quality, plus you can get it wet and not worry about it one bit. I haven't submerged it yet and really don't want to but I think it would still be OK.. Took it kayaking for about 7 hours in the rain most of the day and the battery was still over half life and the water didn't faze it one bit. It is loud and I feel has plenty of sound, but if you want more you can also pair it to another one and two of them blaring is really load. I have BOSE speakers for my house, and this speaker is of the same sound quality for sure."

Again, this sale is just for today. Act now if you want to snag a top-notch portable speaker at a hefty discount.
