ECOXGEAR is well known for their rugged waterproof speakers and gear, have just released their biggest speaker yet, the ECOSTONE waterproof Bluetooth speaker. ECOXGEAR states that it is answering a demand for a tough speaker that can deliver a bigger sound. The rubberized shockproof casing protects the speaker if accidentally knocked into a pool or overboard from a boat and will even pop back to the surface and float. The ECOSTONE passed the IP68 international waterproofing standard and military grade testing (MIL810G) which means it can withstand anything from being 100% submerged in water to a sandstorm in a desert with temperatures up to 140°F … oh, and still play music. It features 2-3.5” drivers at 12 watts each, a USB charger for smartphones, built-in emergency flashlight, 12-hour battery life and is equipped with detachable mounting options that can attach the speaker to just about anything. That makes it a perfect speaker option for a whole campsite, beach or pool-deck party. The ECOXGEAR ECOSTONE speaker comes in four colors: Black, Orange, Blue and Camo and is available now for $149.

This looks like a very rugged offering. What is the Bluetooth version that it uses? Is there NFC pairing?
Matt,
I have an enquiry sent to ECOXGEAR with these questions. I will report as soon as I hear. I wouldn’t expect either Bluetooth 4 or NFC, because those are promoted heavily if available.

i bought an ecoxgear in Costco last October in Maryland and after a few months use, the tiny charger designed became inoperable when the “male” end in the unit broke and couldn’t be used.
hello ecoxgear makers your “waterproof” product has an “Achilles heel.”
