Altec Lansing Shockwave 200 Wireless Party Speaker 180W Bluetooth Speaker with a Long Lasting 12 Hour Battery, Multi LED Party Modes, Multiple bass Boost Modes, Party Sync, AM/FM Radio

I take this speaker outside with me all the time; I simply connect via Bluetooth and enjoy my music. The wheels and handle make it super convenient to pull along wherever I go. I haven’t had to recharge the battery since I first got it, so it lasts a long time. It even comes with a microphone if you feel like singing along. This speaker is user-friendly and delivers impressive sound quality—I absolutely love it!When I unboxed it, a piece of plastic fell out, which initially concerned me. It turned out that the battery compartment had a broken piece, and the battery was jostled hard enough to damage the door, causing that plastic piece to fall out. As a result, the battery door doesn’t close tightly, but the speaker still functions perfectly fine. I’m not deducting any stars for that broken piece since I believe it happened during shipping. Overall, this speaker is fantastic, and I highly recommend it, especially considering the great price compared to others that offer half the sound quality!

I think this speaker sounds great. I bought it to use at work while cleaning, loading kilns, etc. I like upbeat and dance music to keep me motivated. These speakers have good bass that highlights the beat from my tunes. I like how portable it is since I work back and forth between a couple rooms and want to carry it with me without having to unplug and lose my music on the way. It’s designed for portability with a solid carry handle. It’s about the size of what I’d call a classic boombox. I’ve been enjoying using it since I’ve been spending a lot of hours getting the studio ready for the next session. Long lasting battery, though I do keep it plugged in while I’m in one of the rooms. Easy pairing to my phone and coworkers use it sometimes with their phones as well. Clean design, without a lot of nooks and crannies to get clogged up in my dusty environment.

Received Shockwave speakers in good condition. Overall good sound, light weight and Party Mode is a very nice feature. I do wish it had Equalizer, the bass boost selection is very minor and doesn't make much difference.Setting up the Party Mode is sometimes a bit difficult as the double tap doesn't always put the speakers into party mode. Party Mode does work with AUX, but the slave speaker must be in bluetooth mode, not AUX. The instructions do not make it very clear on this point.Reasons for 4 stars not 5: I do feel the speakers are a bit quiet for 180watt RMS, and one of my speakers emits a buzzing noise when plugged in during music playback. The buzzing goes away when the plug is removed and running on battery. The other speaker does not buzz when plugged in.

The media could not be loaded. I paired this speaker with my phone and the sound was amazing. The control panel on the top is easy to use. The power button is located with the large volume dial. The lcd screen displays the volume level as well as FM, BT or aux mode, as well as the bass level. I can select from 3 bass level to choose from. The 9 different led light modes can be selected using the button in the top. The lights can be turned on/off while the speaker is being used, but they can also be used independently when nothing is connected to the speaker.On the back there is the DC power in jack, an aux jack, USB A 5v for charging external devices like my phone and a large mic port. There is also a separate mix volume control on the back as well.I like the fact that it can sit both vertically and horizontally. There are non-slip pads so that it sits securely no matter if it’s sitting upright or in its side. When on its side, the speaker angles upward so that music isn’t aimed at your feet.Underneath there a cavity at the bottom that’s intended for a 35mm standard speaker tripod. The cavity has a rubber plug to cover the hole if not using a tripod.A really cool feature is that you can sync multiple speakers together for a party by first connecting to Bluetooth on a single speaker then double pressing the Bluetooth / chain link icon button which is the name of the mode: PtOn party on and Ptof for party off. Then I can turn on multiple speakers and press party on mode and it connects to the first! I think this is this is the best function on this speaker! 🔊

This bluetooth speaker is very compact, which makes it great for traveling with. It doesn’t take up alot of room, but it gives alot sound! It has great sound quality, clear and crisp. It has been great to take outside to listen to while by a campfire. The durable strap allows me to easily carry it from place to place - it is durable and sturdy lightweight. Its battery life is great, I don’t have to worry about losing power while spending the evening outside. I really like the colorful led lights, I enjoy using these at night for get togethers. It includes a mic that plugs right in for karaoke!

With this speaker it makes me feel as if it’s the middle of the ‘80s again and I’m walking around with this instead of a boombox lol, with people are staring at me as I am the true party. I come with my own strobe lights and music and they flock to me in my flock of seagulls flyaway hair lacquered with 10 cans of hair spray and my blue everything makeup. I sway as I walk and over to tiny right, people are breakdancing to my future music on dilapidated cardboard boxes. It’s the middle of the night in New York City, the grunge on the streets has a hypnotic smell. I blast the music, hold it aloft and they come swaying over to me, reaching out for me, sweaty faces uplifted as my music pulses in their veins and they gyrate wildly. I am the party, the lights flashing from my Shockwave speaker, fog trips restlessly across the ground, and everywhere, everyone is dancing, calling out to someone and everyone.
