  • Ion Tailgater Plus
Style: Tailgater - 50 Watt
Great Bluetooth speaker! Loud is the only way to play it! And it rocks! Came as described! Price was right! Love it! Smoooooth Bass!

  • Used mostly for presentations. Great blend of power and portability.
Style: Tailgater - 50 Watt
I carry this speaker along with a couple of FiFine wireless mics (K037B wireless headset and lavalier lapel and K025 handheld. No affiliation with that company, but they are popular Amazon purchases so I wanted to mention this). I needed something that could operate without being plugged in, but I wanted something more powerful than the typical voice amplifier speakers. I knew that this would be bigger than ideal, but also that it would add a lot of utility. I can plug my laptop in through the AUX input, connect my phone or iPad with Bluetooth, and use any mic that plugs in or can be adapted to the 1/4" input. This isn't a $500 Bose speaker, but it didn't cost $500 either, so set your expectations. With the Bass Boost on, the sound quality for streaming music is admirable at normal volumes. Having separate volume controls for the master and the mic allows me to voice-over a video that's playing from my laptop, or to call guests back in from a meeting break while we have some background music playing. The ability to adjust mic and master is also nice and easy to explain to a helper without the complication of a 10-channel mixing board! Setup was easy and intuitive. I held down the Bluetooth button, and the speaker showed up instantly to pair on my phone. AM/FM radio functionality isn't much value to me, but it picks up a good signal and you can set 10 presets. Included wired mic seems serviceable, though I don't plan to use it unless I have problems with the wireless units. I'm glad that the mic isn't hard-wired, so that you can unplug it when not in use, or use other mics. Battery came charged. Not sure what to expect, but I wanted to at least make sure I could get 4-5 hours out of it (advertised 8-10). After six hours of continued playback of streaming audio via Bluetooth, the battery meter still showed 25% charge, which should be more than adequate for me. It has a USB port for charging (1 amp, so better than 0.5, but not as fast as 2.1). I can imagine this would have a small impact on battery life. Early rating of 5 stars. It seems extremely well built, and sometimes when I look at it next to my Bose Revolve Bluetooth speaker, I can't believe that the Tailgater cost $75 less! That being said, you can't throw this in your computer bag or backpack. I wish it was more compact, but that's no fault of the product or the seller. As advertised (or better!). ... show more

  • Great Portable Sound System for the Price
Style: Tailgater - 50 Watt
My wife wanted a portable speaker system she could have as a backup for when she teaches Zumba classes and can't get their system to work properly. This is perfect for that, and she loves it! We also enjoy using it in our back yard for pool parties. It takes almost no time to setup and really gets the party going! It has a quality feel and heft, but is light enough that she can easily carry it by the handle with one hand. Not needing to find an outlet to plug it in is a real benefit, and it seems to have exceptional battery life so far, easily lasting 4+ hours on a single charge. Having both bluetooth and 3.5mm Aux inputs makes it really easy for her to connect her iPhone or Kindle tablet to play her dance playlists. Do be aware that the bluetooth connection results in lower volume, but the system is still plenty loud to fill a gym and get people moving. The sound quality is pretty good too, and maintains reasonable quality even at pretty high volume levels. I probably wouldn't use this in a professional audio setting like a DJ, and it's not going to replace any $500+ systems, but for a simple haul-it-anywhere, no worries, plug-and-play sound system for home use, gyms, small parties, family reunions, etc. it's a great value and I highly recommend it. ... show more

  • A Nice Amplifier/Speaker, But . . .
Style: Tailgater - 50 Watt
I will try to be as brief as possible with this review. I ended up ordering 2 of these amplifiers. The first one would only operate on AC power, even after charging the battery for 24 hours. I returned it, and ordered another one. This one finally "came to life" after charging it for 48 hours. From then until now it seems to be operating properly, but I wonder about the life expectancy of the battery. I was in contact with ION for several weeks about my problems, and they sent me extra batteries free of charge, so I can't complain about their service. The service representative at ION could not explain to me why it took such a long time to charge the battery before it "woke up". However, the sound quality, both for the radio and microphone, is excellent, the volume is quite adequate, and is very easy to operate. Would I recommend this amplifier to other customers? Yes, but beware that you might have to initially charge the battery for a long time to "wake it up". ... show more

  • Best Value for a Great Speaker
Style: Tailgater - 50 Watt
After looking over lots of options and different speakers, I chose this one and disregarded the 4/5 Star Review. Most of the bad reviews have something to do with the customer service staff, the mic, or I even saw a couple people complain about the static they had in the background of the music (They are unaware that you have to lower the volume on your phone or whatever device you are playing music on, then you have to turn up the master volume on the speaker itself) This is an amazing speaker and it will rock any party/get together that you need. This speaker is amazing and has beautiful and clear sound and it is LOUD!!!! The speaker comes with a Bass Boost option which is extremely awesome. It gives clear sound with an amazing bass. The battery life is nothing to freak out about, but it definitely holds a charge for an appropriate amount of time. The mic that comes with this speaker has beautiful crystal clear quality. The only Con i’ve found with this speaker is that sometimes the mic will randomly stop working and you have to turn the speaker on and off. But other than that, I’d recommend this speaker to anyone looking at buying a good speaker that can be used for almost anything. Use it while you do your yard work Use it for your summer party (The sound is loud enough for a house party with 50 people) Use it while you chill at the pool over the summer. ... show more
