Altec Lansing Boomjacket
speaker
- Some information:
Our overall winner, the Boomjacket performed extremely well in all of our tests. The simple and intuitive controls make setup and operation easy, and its rugged and waterproof design allows it to withstand any accidental drop, whether it's onto a hard surface or into the pool (it floats on water). The added protection doesn't come at the expense of sound quality or volume – this speaker really packs a punch! With a huge battery life and built-in charging capability for your other electronic devices, the Boomjacket is the perfect accessory for outdoor adventures.
- How We Tested:
Our engineers in the Consumer Electronics and Engineering Lab evaluated wireless portable speakers based on ease of use, durability and performance. The lab tested each speaker for how easy it was to setup, connect to a smartphone and control music playback. The physical footprint and weight of each speaker were measured in order to factor in the portability. The sound level, sound quality and battery life were all assessed to evaluate the performance. Speakers that claimed to be waterproof or weatherproof were tested for these claims, and outdoor speakers were dropped multiple times to make sure they still functioned.
