The Grace Digital ECOXBT Rugged Bluetooth Wireless Speaker looks to cater to those who want to listen to music in potentially soggy situations.

It features a chunky, rugged feeling, design that is IPX7 rated (which means it’s survived waterproof testing).

The top of the ECOXBT features a range of control buttons for power, bluetooth, music playback controls and call answering.

Around the back there is a sealed section which when removed reveals an aux in and the charging port.

ECOXBT Range

Setup was very easy, there is a dedicated bluetooth button on the top of ECOXBT, just pair it to your device and away you go. The bluetooth connection wasn’t always that great, while filming the below video the music source (in this case a laptop) was in a different room to prevent any water damage and the music broke up a couple of times. There wasn’t any issue when the paired device was in the same room as the ECOXBT.

For the high price the sound quality is disappointing. Although the ECOXBT can fill a room with music, that music sounds very flat and there is very little bass, the quality is about the same as much lower cost speakers.

However, this isn’t a speaker you buy for the sound quality, you buy the ECOXBT for it’s rugged design. It’s certainly waterproof as you can see in the below video. In fact it’s not only waterproof but it floats as well!

If you’re looking for a speaker that’s waterproof and can survive a few knocks then this is well worth considering thanks to it’s IPX7 rating.

However, if sound quality is what you’re after this isn’t the speaker to get, there are much better sounding speakers for half the price, such as the recently reviewed Kitsound Pocket Hive.

The ECOXBT is available now from Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/1xdfDTf and Amazon com: https://amzn.to/1b2rHlA
