VictrolaRock Speaker Connect, Stone, Wireless Outdoor Speaker with Bluetooth 5.3, 22-Hour Battery Life, with Solar Charging, Link Up to 20 Rock Speakers, IP65 Water & Dust Resistant Speaker

This speaker is very easy to use. It took a couple seconds to turn on, and pair my iPhone with Bluetooth. The QR code in the box points to a trouble-free setup video.The audio is great! The speaker produces warm bass and medium treble which makes the vocals and instruments sound clear.The only drawback for me is that it’s not AirPlay compatible and I wish there was a cover of sorts to hide the solar panel when not charging in the sun so it’s aesthetically pleasing.Overall, I recommend the purchase. It’s perfect for the elements, easy to use, sounds wonderful and looks great in the yard.

Easiest speaker to turn on, and took 2 seconds to connect to the Bluetooth on my phone. Sound is superb, and I found a cozy spot for it near our rocky firepit area. It’s durable, and matches the color of my natural rocks. I fully charged it first before bringing it outside for the first time. Now the solar battery keeps the charge when I play it outside and it’s been running perfect.

DesignFirst, the speaker was bigger than I thought. Granted I didn’t read the specs, but when it’s on your patio it’s less of a rock and more of a small boulder, which might lead people to wonder what a small boulder is doing on your patio. However, the size contributes to a bigger sound, which is the tradeoff.The “rock camouflage” is passable, but it’s kind of obvious that it’s not a rock. In other words, is it that much better than just a grey box? Not really. But it isn’t an eyesore, just looks a little weird.SoundThe sound is definitely the highlight. While it’s obviously not the best speaker in the world (ie, not great bass), it is LOUD and really fills a space. If you had two, you’d really be in business. I tested with with Jack White No Name album and was waiting for my neighbors to start complaining.Certainly it’s an advantage that you can just leave it outside and not worry about it, and will self charge via solar panels (I didn’t get a chance to really test that.) In short, I would recommend these to a homeowner with an enough property that you won’t bug the neighbors; if you live in an apartment or city environment you might consider a smaller speaker.I will also add this speaker has great bluetooth range. I was hundred of feet away from it, and it was still reading my phone/spotify. This is a huge plus for entertaining when we are running around after kids, grabbing stuff etc.

We just added the speaker to our front yard to add a little extra to our Halloween decorations. Sound quality is great and so far everything works perfectly. It rained here twice since receiving. The solar is keeping the speaker charged and the kids in the neighborhood love hearing the music when they come home from school. It’s going to be a great month!

Purchased this speaker in mid July and worked well; we kept the speaker under a covered area of our backyard to protect it from rain. Within two months, the speaker would not turn on. We charged it for several hours and followed the troubleshooting steps Vitriola/Amazon list, and nothing worked. The company was unresponsive when I called to seek to use the warranty for a replacement speaker or a refund. During the company’s hours of operations, no one answers the phone - calls go to voicemail and they don’t bother to return messages. After 4 weeks of trying to get in touch with them, had to seek Amazon’s help; Amazon agreed to let us return the speaker to Amazon even though it was outside of the 30 day free return period, because they recognized the company was being unresponsive (Amazon rep also tried calling). Unfortunately, Amazon docked us $15 which is typically done when they accept a return outside of the 30 day return period, but at least we got rid of this poorly made speaker (with equally poor customer service). Buyer beware - seek other outdoor speakers; this one looks nice, but what good is that if it won’t work?
