Goal Zero Rock Out V2 Portable Speaker - Black

I first saw this product in a store in shop frequently. It was $30 cheaper than in store. I used the scanner to find on amazon. I love it! Is great quality and sound incredible! I am considering buying a second one! Very happy with it and highly recommend it!

I've had this speaker for over a year now and it's still going strong. I use it to listen to music when I ride my bicycle casually or to work. It helps keeps me alert while I ride. BTW I don't own a car so I ride my bicycle to work almost every day. I also use it to listen to music while I cook or when I'm in the shower. I've ridden with it during the rain and the snow.I can use the bungee cords to securely attache it to my mountain bike and road bike handlebars. It can take a beating too.. It's been knocked off my bike a few times due to stupid drivers forcing me onto the curb and such. As an added bonus it keeps my phone safe and dry.It's also loud enough to clearly hear my music, even during traffic, without distortion. It even has descent bass. But it's not so laud that I can't hear the cars around me. In addition to that the battery life is excellent and it gives you fair warning when it's low.For those who are concerned about space it has enough room to accommodate my Galaxy S4 in an Otterbox defender. However you may need to cut the little ring off the end of the headphone jack to keep it from putting pressure on the phone jack.I've only had two issues with it. First, I had to pull the bungee cord apart and tie it together because it was only glued. Secondly, the back button doesn't go back for me. However, I think it's more of an issue with the program I use rather than the speakers controls.

This is my 2nd time buying one. My first one lasted about 3 years with heavy use and abuse which Im am honestly surprised as I abused the crap out of it. I am a tree trimmer so I attach it to my climbing harness so I can listen to music while I work without having cords getting caught on limbs. Its been stabbed with pine needles, dropped out of a tree several times, used in very dusty conditions and never decreased in sound quality. A buddy of mine brought his Bose shelf speaker which is like 10x more expensive than this speaker but this speaker blew his out of the water sound wise. I doubt you can find a better speaker for the price. I listen to mostly EDM and it handles it all perfectly. Good bass, good mids, good highs and gets quite loud without crappy distortion like other cheap speakers. Not a single complaint from me on this sweet speaker. Guys at work actually get mad at me if I dont bring it to work because its better than the speakers in all the work trucks.

Rock Out 2 is a tough, dependable option for taking your tunes with you everywhere you go. I mostly use mine as speakers for my laptop when I travel, but I have also used it quite often to play music from my smartphone. This would be good for picnics, trips to the river, or anywhere outdoors you would like to have some music. This is also a viable option while riding ATVs, and I have also seen some who use these while biking. Charge time seems reasonable, and the battery lasts longer than I expected. The sound to me was surprisingly good, but right at what I had hoped for. Are there better sounding speakers out there? Yes, but none that I have found at this price range with this amount of portability. The current price for these on Amazon is right at $50 and to me that is a wonderful value for this item.Pros: Good sound IMO Rugged Handy attachment system Good battery life External Controls (However, see below as well)Cons: No available Bluetooth option (which would possibly raise my rating to a 5) External Controls did not work completely with my Android device (I did know this was a possibility ahead of time, but it is still a drawback)

I bought this speaker a couple years ago. I use it occasionally with my computer and sometimes bring it to other places with me. It is pretty loud and has good sound quality. The only thing I've noticed is that if the sound is too loud, sometimes with too much bass, the speaker turns off.
