Best Uses
"I needed a boom box for my iPod (first gen) because my wife is afraid the earbuds I use are damaging my hearing. I wanted one suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, so it needed to be powerful enough for outdoors. I also wanted a rechargeable battery, and it should be waterproof or at least water resistant. I purchased a different player from another vendor, but it wasn't loud enough for outside. So I returned it and then I got this baby.
Wow. The sound is great - plenty of bass, clear, and it's loud enough for the beach (have to shake the sand out of the screen, though). There's distortion only at the highest volumes, and I don't ever need it that loud, even at the beach. The sound is also clearly audible 360 degrees around, probably to the chagrin of the other beach goers. :)
The rechargeable battery is great - it lasts for the six hours I'm at the beach or at the pool. And it recharges the iPod, too, when I plug it in.
All iPod menu functions can be controlled from the BoomBucket's controls, so you never need expose the iPod to the elements to make changes. It has a remote, but I never use it - I don't change my Playlist all that often.
Yeah, it looks like an ice bucket, especially all in white like mine. I wanted it in black (the iPod is black), but that wasn't available when I got mine. Oh well.
The only thing that's not perfect about this is it's not water-proof, it's "weather resistant". Better than nothing, but I have to be careful with it near the pool when the kiddies are about."
