FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

Can I control the bass.
No one controls The Bass.. Submit

Would this be a good speaker to take to the beach and play under a beach canopy/tent?
This would be a great speaker to play under a canopy/tent at a low volume so as not to bother other beachgoers. Unless it’s a private beach, in which case, call the police to get rid of the uninvited beach goers and crank up the volume.
I think asking if any Bluetooth speaker would be a good speaker to take to the beach is a very silly and selfish question/idea.
