horrible bluetooth speaker that some noisy people bring with them everywhere
it s the worst part about the speaker
it s nearly impossible to test for
hardware and sound
no denying a speaker is not nearly the same kind of device
often the app flat out does not work
it will only take 2 to 3 hours
audio cable connectivity
apps dev tester who spends hours solving problems behind the scenes

speaker shares only a logo with Altec Lansing s core products
it was shrill and sibilant in the treble
raspy sound signature and mediocre feature set
its DSP is not subtle on deep bass tracks

relatively easy to accidentally skip a track
A little inconvenient and can occasionally result in an unintentionally skipped track
albeit with only two speakers and not the multiple
it can distort at top volumes
it could be easily overlooked
Music lacks emotion and any aural presence is
the Life Jacket speaker sounds shallow and lacks defined bass
bass tends to get a bit muddied and sometimes distorted depending
brighter LED lights
