Altec Lansing Mini H2O IMW257 Bluetooth Speaker (Black) : desertcart.in: Electronics

Review: JUST GO FOR IT😀 - In the box: Speakers,USB cable,aux. cable,documentation,carbiner(as visible in the pic) Price: got for ₹1299/-(used for 2-3 months so far with absolutely no issue) About product: The speakers does connect to ANY bluetooth device seamlessly and does it's job perfectly.10 hours is real life run-time. Audio quality:To be Honest it is the BEST when it is compared to any other Bluetooth speaker and the brand speaks for itself.But also it cannot be compared to any wired headphones or speakers because both are 'Apples and Oranges'.Any person can feel the difference when compared with any wired speakers but it cannot offer the portability that any Bluetooth speaker offers.I t is up to you to decide on your preference. Upside: Top notch quality(absolutely water proof-been using during showers,dust proof simply ALL PROOF:) ).LITTLE BEAST when it comes to audio quality,it easily fills an average to fairly big room with BIG sound. Downside: No playback buttons. MADE IN CHINA(if it is an issue for you). Nitty-gritty: BASS is the strong point. Treble is decent. Highs and Lows are fairly audible. Verdict: Highly recommended product for its pure quality not only for its build(material) but for why it is built(audio quality) if you can ignore the minor downside points mentioned above. Note:I will update the pics of my speaker shortly as and when I get my camera. Thank you, Have a Good day☺
Review: It's an amazing product from altec lancing - It's an amazing product from altec lancing. I was first ordering the zaap aqua but then I researched and made my mind for this . It's very amazing. And yes it's sound distort in 100perc volume but keeping the other features of this product it's nothing to worry about alot. But this price point and all the proof item. It's rare in this category. Its very loud and good bass also.And if you want sound clearty go for JBL.just love the product from altec lancing it's one of its find . I suggest for people who have less budget and higher expectations. It's totally worth the cost. It's proper water proof I hv tested it often. For people like me . I m dancer and my use of speakers is very rough so I prefer this than any other Normal speakers who aren't water proof and sock proof. . Go for itt no worries ips67 rating. It's a worth

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is a wow product.
*by S***A on 21 September 2016*

I have been searching for a Bluetooth speaker.Then i found this altec lansing IMW275.It's normal market prise is around Rs.3500 , i brought it from amazon in Rs.1990 . The DSP quality 10 watt audio output from two 1 inch nodium magnet speaker with a perfect equilizer setting is a jaw opening experience. Among the two speaker there is one bass radiator, so it also gives a deep and crispy bass effect out of any good quality music file.Another important things...with 50% sound it gives upto 8 to 10 hours of audio playback time and it is everything proof thus it is always ready to go outdoor picnic or party.On the other hand a tiny shape like a shope is perfect for portability. It's on board microphone allows you to call without touching the mobile set.It is the starting range of Altec Lansing portable Bluetooth outdoor speaker and highly qualified.
