Probably not an issue to most people, but when the battery dies, the unit would be useless

I don’t have experience with other Bluetooth speakers, but it compares favorably to the iPod docks I’ve owned by Klipsch and beats the cheaper iHome units

The unit was still clear at the other end of the pool even with people talking in between

While I have no doubt that the system is completely waterproof, the unit I've received has a screw missing on the bottom of the case

The weakest thing about it: The nickle-metal hydride battery is non-replaceable so once the battery dies, the unit is worthless unless you have a warrentee
