ION Audio Block Rocker (iPA56D) | Portable Bluetooth Speaker with USB Charger and Wheels & Handle for Transport [2014 Model]

Pros:- Looks great- Battery life is wonderful- Wifi capability works great- The sounds is much for such a small sound system- The ability to travel well with two wheels and the adjustable handle to pull it is the best feature for itI purchased this system once before from Costco and after some time is stop working for no reason. I took it back to Costco and received a refund however they no longer sold this version of the speaker rather the smaller version of it. I instead found this sku of the speaker on Amazon and would highly suggest this version of the speaker rather then the newer version that does not have wheels, handle, nor does it have a usb port.

So far so good. This speaker is loud and sounds great. The microphone is a bonus I may someday find a use for. Sometimes it is difficult to pair with iPhone 6, and I'm not sure if or how the nfc pairing works. I have not had any luck getting that to work. The main reason I bought this was big sound from a portable speaker and that is where this shines. Battery life is awesome and speaker feels solid. This thing rules for backyard/pool music, walk-up music for sporting events, parties, gyms, garages and etc.

USB didn't work but speakers are loud and great... battery goes for very long time

Sounds really good. This is one of those speakers that you have to adjust your device volume to get the best sound, otherwise you will hear some distortion. The speaker has one USB and a microphone. I contacted ion and they told me that there were several models. This model comes with NFC so all you do is tap your phone to it and it will automatically connect to the speaker. I put it in my garage and listen to music while I'm working. I got so into the music that I didn't realize how loud it was, so I had to turn down the volume so my neighbors wouldn't complain. If you get a microphone with the echo feature you can also use this for karaoke which is what I am intending to do. this item can also be used at the beach since it comes with a rechargeable battery. Overall I'm impressed so far.

very poor tuner, hard to pick up a station and hold it. great for playing off of other devices

The Bluetooth disconnects a lot.The mic included is very poor quality.

Incredible !!! For around $150 bucks this thing is loud and has very good sound. If anybody has any complaints, something is wrong with them. One person said the blue tooth fades out when they move their device around, I have no problems with that, so it must be their device. Only thing I wish the mic volume was louder and sound was better when music is playing. Maybe if I got a good mic it would be better because the mic that comes with it is a little cheesy, but not complaining because this is a very good product for the price.

This is an excellent product. It sounds great and appears to be sturdy. I've used mine every night for a month and not had to charge the battery. The bluetooth is solid from my iphone across the room, and it's a great keyboard amp or small pa. I haven't had it long, but so far it's a great piece of equipment!
