I love listening to music outside while on the pool deck or working in the yard. But after having to replace more than one cell phone due to water damage, I now have mine in a waterproof case. Works great at protecting the phone from water being splashed on it but it also covers the speaker so listening to music isn’t as nice as it used to be. That’s why I am excited to talk about the new Altec Lansing LifeJacket Jolt Speaker. This speaker is waterproof, shockproof, and even features a Qi charging plate!
Altec Lansing
From sleek wireless systems that go where you go. To headphones that make your music even more personal. To speakers that keep your phone charged, so you never miss a beat. It’s what we’ve been doing since our first breakthrough in 1927: Connecting people to sound through our innovative speaker designs.
When moviegoers first heard actors’ voices, Altec Lansing made it happen. When 450,000 people packed a farmland in Woodstock, N.Y., Altec Lansing delivered the soundtrack. And when generations of music lovers have wanted to get lost in sound, Altec Lansing is the name they choose. Again, and again. Because we get that music may change, but its power to move us never does. Which is why people who know audio know Altec Lansing.
LifeJacket Jolt Speaker
This LifeJacket Jolt Bluetooth Speaker by Altec Lansing creates a never before heard level of audio experience. The rugged casing protects from all the elements and even includes a Qi wireless charger built right in. With a 100 foot wireless range and 30 hours of battery life, this speaker is built for whatever or where ever your day takes you. It also includes “Just Ask” allowing access to your Siri and Hey Google voice assistant for a hands free experience.
My Thoughts:
This mom is loving her LifeJacket Jolt Bluetooth Speaker. It really is a game changer if you enjoy being outside especially around the water.
It has an impressive sound quality that brings the music to life. It performs like a huge speaker when it is actually about the size of my hand.
I am not a technical person, but the features on this speaker are not only super cool…but someone like me can set it up and enjoy using it without asking for help (sad but true, this mom has to ask her children how to work several of the devices in the house). And for those that are visual learners, the website has a wonder video on how to set it up and pair (aka connect) with other devices like your phone or other speakers.
This little but mighty speaker is also made to be around the water. It has a waterproof rating of IP67 which means it is considered waterproof and snowproof. The protective casing is so rugged that it is drop and shock proof too. Oh, and it floats! Seriously, this is one amazing speaker! I can’t tell you the number of speakers my crew has gone through over the years that haven’t held up to the demands of a houseful of children and being used outside near the pool.
With a battery life of up to 30 hours (depending on use), this speaker can handle the demands of an all day party or event. It can be paired (connected) to 50 other speakers for a real surround sound or to provide sound through the house or remote location. You can also connect two (2) devices to the speaker at the same time instead of having to disconnect and reconnect to change input sources. And the “Just Ask” allows access to Siri or Hey Google through the speaker for hands free control which is perfect when outside or around water.
My favorite features are the built in QI Wireless Smartphone Charger (means I can simply place my phone on top of the speaker and it will charge it even while it is paired for entertainment) and that the wireless range is 100 feet, which is about three times most wireless connections.
This waterproof speaker would make a great gift for those on your shopping list this holiday season.
