I’m still super impressed with my fugoo. 10 years old and still going strong, and it’s waterproof.
Absolutely this. I've had a few JBL speakers, a few UE speakers, even a Fugoo (years ago when they were supposed to be the most rugged speaker out there). The Boom 3i is hands down far and away the most rugged speaker I've ever had. As a bonus it also sounds way better than it should for its size, and it costs less than its JBL counterparts.
Fugoo. My wife bought me one for a present. It is a touch sucker. I've had it for YEARS. Water proof. You can change the grill. Came with a pool floaty. It now plays speckled frog every night at bath time.
Fugoo, the sound quality is great, they’re waterproof, and very durable. I’ve had one for 8 years, and many people have commented on the sound quality. I tried the ue boom, and have used a friend’s Bose sound link mini, but the Fugoo was much better.
My old Creative Soundblaster still works fine, and I just found my Riva Turbo X that's about a decade old...charged it up and BAM, still sounds great! My old Fugoo speaker doesn't hold much of a charge, but WOW, it's taken a beating in the last eight years and survived.
