OrtizanBluetooth Speakers, Portable Wireless Stereo Speaker - IPX7 Waterproof, 40W Loud Sound, Dual Pairing, Deep Bass, LED Light, Bluetooth 5.3, for Home/Shower/Outdoor/Beach, Gifts for Adult, Navy

I purchased this portable blue tooth speaker from Amazon and received it two days later. I was not happy with a problem that I had with recharging the speaker, so I sent an email to product support on their website, explaining my problem. Only Three and a half hours later I received a response from their representative, (Eddie). He listened to my concern and cheerfully made a commitment to resolve the problem. We agreed on a resolution to the problem and true to his word, he made it happen and less than two days later, I was very happy. That's my review for the company and support services. Now a review on the product. I am very happy with the Speaker. For the size of the speaker, it is very well constructed. It is sturdy and has some substance to it. The material that it is made from is durable and I believe that it will wear very well. The on/off and program buttons on the side of the speaker are a little bit hard to press, but after a little use, I actually like this, as it makes it firm and no question about how many presses you have made to activate the speaker accessories. I like the sound of the speaker. It has an automatic equalizer with three settings to allow a little more bass, which I think is very nice. I personally like the lights that flash in synch with the music, but there is even a setting to turn this feature off, if you would like. Some people have complained that the speaker was not as loud as they expected, but that is not my opinion. There are two speakers that the company sells. One is 24 W the other is 40 W. I purchased the 40 W and for my purposes, I find that it is very nice. (I might mention that I have other speakers in various sizes, (Bose, Sony, JBL) and even a Dewalt Jobsite Speaker. For this particular application of portable blue tooth, I am impressed. I love my JBL Party speakers that I can play for the entire block, but this little speaker is very nice to sit out on the patio or play for my grandkids while they are playing on the trampoline and there is nothing to set up. Just push the on button and you are set. Blue Tooth has connected each and every time and has been smooth, without any interruptions. The bass in my other speakers is better, but for the price and application of this little speaker, I am pretty impressed. The cost of this little speaker was only a fraction of the cost of some of my other speakers, but I specifically wanted something that was more portable and easy to take anywhere, I typically would have purchased the JBL speaker that looks almost identical to this speaker, but decided that I would take a chance, save a little money, and buy this speaker to check it out. They had over 10,000 5 star reviews. Also, this speaker had a couple of features that the JBL and Sony speakers that are similar don't have. Besides being waterproof, this little speaker has a TF card so that I can take music on a flash card and not have to have my phone with me. I liked this feature especially because it meant that I could take a bike ride and not have to hall my phone alone with me. It also fits in a typical water bottle holder on your bike. Because of these two issues, I decided to take a risk and the investment wasn't big. This Speaker has already stood up for a couple of portable trips that have made it worth it to me. I only have two small negative issues. 1. The Bass could be a little bit stronger 2. The videos that I saw for this unit before I purchased it showed the speaker with light rings around the buttons, which mine doesn't have, which would make it nice to make some adjustments when it is dark, But I have pretty much adjusted to both of these small negative issues and neither one of them would preclude me from purchasing this speaker again. For me, this was a super great purchase for the value and I am not disappointed.

Time will tell but first impression is this is a great speaker for the price! I got the navy blue which has black rubber with a dark navy blue screen covering speakers. I’m glad I got the X8 that’s 40W it sounds and looks great. The buttons require a firm press like another user mentioned which isn’t a problem In my opinion. Love the EQ, micro sd card slot and all of it’s features. If the run time is as they claim I might buy another one to pair up with this one.

This is a review for the X8 model. As the title says, it’s a really fine speaker system. I do have some quibbles with it, but I have used many other Bluetooth speaker systems and in terms of the X8 versus them, It’s the best one I’ve tried. The volume is quite good, the stereo separation is surprisingly good for a single unit. I have not tried pairing it with a second unit.What makes the X8 stand out for me is the EQ button, which almost no other Bluetooth speaker has. Many of them claim to have deep bass, but being an audio engineer, I know but not all music sources are the same. For instance watching television is a relatively mid range sound source. Listening to YouTube videos is a very different animal. And gaming and watching movies is a third. The default setting when you turn it on is appropriate for watching television and many audio sources. It’s the most balanced sound with good bass and and smooth even mid range. It works for classical music sources, and jazz, as well as oldies Pop music. If you switch to the second setting, You get enhanced mid range, so that works for spoken word meaning podcasts, and any spoken audio. Even some music sources benefit from the enhanced mid range.The third setting has very strong base, better than I’ve heard in any other speaker that I’ve tried. There are two passive subwoofer ports on either end, which are completely waterproof, So bring it to the pool, submerge it in the pool, use it at the beach etc. and you have nothing to worry about & as I say, the sound pressure for deep bass is crisp and handles hip-hop music, rock music and any source that has strong base. The base is crystal clear, which I have not found in any other unit, they usually have a muffled bass sound which is pretty awful.Obviously any sound source you’re using, may benefit from any one of the three settings, and that’s what sets this apart from any other unit. That is also why most of the units fail to deliver. Every sound source is different and the X8 gives you the opportunity to adjust to any type of sound quality. I had originally purchased the X10 from the same company which is smaller and roughly half the wattage, and even though it has the passive drivers, it just isn’t loud enough or powerful enough, so I returned it to get this 40 want unit. Also the two speakers are side by side in the round cylinder so you actually get a very true stereo quality. All the other units I’ve tried don’t actually sound like their stereo, they probably work with the pairing of another unit, but these are all called stereo, and I want the single unit to sound like a stereo.I should note that the buttons, while they feel positively military grade and I assume will last practically forever, they are hard to press, so if you have imited strength in your hands you may find it difficult to press any of the buttons, they are quite stiff. However I have read reviews of brother units that all say the buttons fail after a short period of time so I’m willing to deal with a bit of extra effort to work the buttons on the X8. Bluetooth pairing is extremely easy and it works great. As to the battery life, all these companies just lie. There isn’t anyway on this planet that this unit gives you 30 hours of audio. It lasts for a good session of a couple of hours, an afternoon at the pool but it will need recharging after that. No I have a unit at this price point with this much power, will last any longer than the 2600 Milla amp battery X8 has. 40 wants requires a significant amount of power, and that’s that . You can’t change the laws of physics, and they’d have to put a huge battery in it for it to actually last 30 hours. I can’t review the telephone functionality , because I don’t use it and I wouldn’t. Because the X8 has so many different functions, many of the functions use the same buttons as the basic volume, EQ, & on off functions, but there are double presses, long hold presses, and to me that’s just confusing, but there’s just a limited number of buttons so each one has multiple jobs.Strangely, The manual that I got with this unit which was brand new and sealed and obviously not repackaged, has instructions are completely wrong. They are in fact the instructions that work for the X10, Because I had the X 10 and I know how the buttons work on that.There are buttons labeled nine 1011 and 12, that don’t exist on this. Having had the X10, I know that the instructions actually match the X10 not this X8. That said, with a bit of playing around I figured out the correct buttons to use. you may be able to contact the company, and get a set of the correct instructions. The basic functions work perfectly fine : Power on power off, EQ button, volume up volume down, etc. These units, coming from China always seem to have a problem with the instructions. but the bottom line is you want good sound and you want the ability to adjust the EQ for different ways you want to use the speaker, that’s why I’m keeping this, and I really like it, because it does what a 40 watt speaker is supposed to do.All in one I’m giving it four stars because it’s an extremely well built unit and feels very solid, has very good volume, superior bass and the ability to adjust the sound, which as I say, is way better than any other at this price point. I consider it an excellent value for the money. I highly recommend it.

Hear me out.... This is GREAT VALUE for money. I will be 100% honest here. I compared this side to side with a UE BOOM 3 (the renewed version was $107 bucks!) and the UE BOOMwas like 5% louder but the sound quality at max volume was not as good. This one had more functions, consistent sound quality at any volume and it is way more BUDGET FRIENDLY. If you want to pay like 300% more to get like 5% more of the sound and like 50% LESS the functions go ahead... But I am happy with this ORTIZAN.

Wasn't able to get them to pair, sent email to support, response that evening with attached video to help...still didn't work. Offered to give me a partial refund and I could keep both speakers, the rep asked me to download whatsapp as he really wanted to get them to pair for me (even if I'd gotten the refund). Before doing that I tried again when the phone that was connected was out of the house (had turned off the blue tooth previously per instructions) but the pairing worked and once the other phone was back home, had no issues connecting. The speakers are awesome, but the customer service (Eddie) was above and beyond!
