Is this device ok to be used outdoors? Beach, etc.? Can the sound be heard well and clearly?

I use my speaker mainly outdoors. Sounds great anywhere. Never have exposed it to rain wind and sand, so dont know how it stands up elements. Great little speaker.

Yes, I have taken mine to the pool and the beach. I just set it on my cooler at the beach out of the sun. The sound is very clear and loud enough to hear. As with any electronic device just use common sense, and the Sharkk Bluetooth 4.0 BoomBox will server you well. I hope this answered you question.

Is pretty loud and clear sound. But for the beach I would recommended to cover it with a large zip lock bag to protect it from the sand.

Using only one device outside would most likely not be loud enough if you're looking to blast some good toons, however if it's just yourself and a couple friends or family this speaker does give a decent volume. I used it in a crowded pool and it performed quite well. I would be cautious around sand though, the particles may alter the sound.

Mike- I bought one last year and it's by far the best portable I've purchased. Not sure what you're using it for, but they do put off a lot of "clear" sound... Definitely loud enough for the beach, bbqs, and everyday use... I bought mine for $90 and it's worth every penny... Even though they're only $30 now...

I bought this product for use it in the beach and care my iphone. Sorry, but the volume is not very loud for this type of site.

Sound distortion at the highest volume(using iphone 5) is very moderate. Although I don't remember too clearly I think the bass is reasonably good at any level. Overall it's a pretty decent speaker for the park or beach or just cleaning a room.

Yes it works great on land. It's just designed to do both land and water. It doesn't come with waterproof earphones though so if u wanted to use it submersed, u will need to purchase the waterproof headphones. $$$ I mainly used it on land and only a handful of times at beach.

Ya, it'll work pretty much anywhere that there is enough sound to activate it. It's not necessarily bass activated, however lower end frequencies seem to drive it better. If the music is loud enough, it'll play nice. For outdoors, I would keep it as close to your speakers as reasonably possible.

Well it's only water resistant not water proof so I would worry it would get too wet. And if the area you're in is quiet you'd be able to hear it but otherwise you may need something louder

Yes you will be able to! We use it on our speed boat going 25 mph on the open ocean and can hear the music perfectly from our iphones

Not really. Of course, I was using at the beach so the background noise was considerable. I bought a bluetooth headset to use the phone while in the case.

The simple answer would be NO. When I am relaxing at the beach, just with the sound of the waves, people chatting, etc... You can still hear the music, but not that loud enough. With a loud motor running, no way !

I love mine I use it outside on the deck and the sound is awesome. I would definitely recommend this.

Not so sure about outdoors with lots of people. In the shower where the sound echoes it's fine, but I think it could be a little weak for a camp out.

You would find it better to connect speakers directly to your player. For an outdoor setting you will need some strong sound amplification.

I can say that my Ipod and other music devices sound great. I only use it outside in the park or backyard.

This is a far better option except for not being waterproof. Double the battery life (double the mAh listed in the description so it's about 16-18 hours). Just slip it inside a decent quality sock to keep the sand out! Much louder and WAY better sound. SHARKK bluetooth speaker: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ES2BQ7M

Not bad, it depends on the environment though. It can easily drown out street traffic and daily use for like an office setting, with possibly the exception for maybe sirens, road construction, or if you're on a noisy subway or something. I usually just turn it up louder depending on the environment. I typically turn it up to about halfway on my iphone so it definitely has a lot of headroom if you want to drown out other noises.

It is loud enough. I have had it for almost two years and I turn it on when I get ready to leave my home. I can hear it over the shower. Sometimes when I am cleaning I can hear it over the vacuum. So it being outside it might be. Open spaces may not be the best cuz the sounds needs something to bounce off of. If you are just looking for something to have in the background for outside it is perfect.
