Portable Bluetooth Speaker (2nd Gen), 40W powerful sound and deep bass, IPX7 waterproof, 30 hours of playtime, TWS for 2 speakers pairing for home, outdoor and travel - Electronics gift, Black

The whole point to getting these was to pair them, and they won't pair. It's probably my fault, theres some trick I'm not "getting" and it's simple, but it evades me and I gave up. I wanted one by my chair, and the other in the kitchen, so I didn't have to pause a podcast when i go for a beverage. Whatever. So I came up with a different set-up with different speakers, and this pair is now my yard set. They sound really good, and I swap out the dead one for a fresh one when the battery dies. They're waterproof and (relatively) small and durable. Plenty loud for me in the yard, I only turn them up to about 50 or 60% and thats more than enough. I don't abuse my neighbors. Sitting 10 ft away on a normal patio, they sound clear, and the batts last a good while - maybe 7-8 hours. So, for the price, I can't ask for more. (even though the pairing didn't work, thats why the 3/5). --changed to 5/5 stars on 9/13/25 see Update below, I did not change anything in my original review-- -- UPDATE -- Ortizan reached out to me because of this review and "made it right" by sending me a new speaker, free of charge. The customer service guy "Kevin" sent me an E-mail, and asked what he could do about it. He offered to work on the pairing problem, but I had discarded the boxes which have ID numbers - and honestly it wasn't that big a deal. Instead of "walking me through" it, he just sent a new speaker, I didn't even request any kind of compensation. He genuinely seemed to want me to have a good customer experience, and as I mentioned above, I was already relatively happy with the speaker(s), they sound nice and I use them all the time. So, I have to admit, they made a new friend, and I did receive a brand new speaker - QUICKLY, no hassle. So, when I want some little device, I will be checking to see if they have something in the realm of what I'm looking for. They make good affordable stuff, I've been happily using them just about every day for a year with no issues on the quality of the item itself. Kevin claimed there might be some issue that they used different chips in each pairable speaker that didn't recognize each other, different "batches" of the same model. That probably IS the case. For the price-point, I have really no complaints, they hold their own against more expensive competitors. You have to get up into the expensive stuff (and I do have some good audio electronics) before it gets outclassed. Thanks, Ortizan.

So far so good. I like that it shuts off automatically when it hasn't been used for a while. Sound is good. Now I can use my desktop computer for video calls. It's super portable. Of course being rechargeable is really a big deal. I had to charge it at first and it took about an hour, maybe 2. Set-up was super easy. I haven't tried using the eq setting yet but I might want to as it's hard for me to hear some voices when they modulate too much. It's pretty easy to control the volume, but the buttons are a bit stiff - but that probably indicates that it's built very sturdily. It does seem to be solid and durable.

Without bothering to look at any instructions, it quickly paired with my Samsung S23 Ultra. Although my phone initially identified it as headphones, so I had to change it to identify it as a speaker. It had a mostly full charge out of the box, with it's own led indicator showing that it was near full as it was flashing upon my plugging it in. My phone reported it's charge level as already being at 100%, but the led was still flashing to indicate that it was still accepting a charge, so I left it plugged in until it eventually stopped flashing. The sound quality is ok. It sounded fine on it's default EQ mode, and it didn't really distort at the highest volume level. It didn't sound particularly weak or tinny, but it didn't have much bass. Both of the other EQ modes sound ok too, although the Base boost mode did start to sound distorted at higher volume levels. The base hits in that mode do hit harder and deeper, but they also sound restrained, and it sounds like maybe there's a point at which a crossover prevents damage to the speaker by holding back on me. The overall volume level doesn't really seem to get very loud, either. Just lots enough for a fairly big room, and I'm sure it will suffice for sitting around a campfire. The perfectly round shape might become pretty annoying when I just want to lay the speaker on it's side. I wish they had built in a couple of hinged flaps that could be swung out for the purpose of preventing it from just rolling right off of a flat surface like a table. Just little solid tabs that could pop out and stay extended in place by magnetic force or something, and then be retracted back flush into the side of the speaker when not needed. Although at least there's a nice, thick rubber strap on a swivel at the top for carrying or hanging, and it seems like it might be just enough to prevent the speaker from rolling away as long as you position the strap in just the right way when you lay the speaker on it's side. Of course you can always just stand the speaker up vertically, but with a bass radiator on each end the one on the bottom might cause undue rattling of any stuff on that table, especially at higher volumes. I need to see how long it will last during my upcoming camping trip, and I think 10 hours of battery life at a volume around halfway to three-quarters would be ok for me. 30 hours seems like something you could maybe get at a really low volume and with the cool lights turned off. I think it takes maybe 5 hours to fully charge, and that's fine for me. That means the internal batteries don't get really hot by cramming a bunch of energy into them really fast. So you'll likely get years of reliable use before the batteries ever start to crap out on you. Beware of any Bluetooth speaker that claims to have "sick, lit, extreme fast charging* or whatever, because it's internal batteries probably will start letting you down within a year if you use it frequently. And this thing is built like a tank. If I accidentally drop it off a rocky cliff, there's a fair chance that it will survive. As long as it doesn't land directly on either vertical end on a point, since the bass radiator in each end is exposed and has no casing over it. The buttons definitely feel like military-grade or something. They are bizarrely hard to press. Just hold an actual rock in your hand, and start squeezing that rock. Pretend that the solid rock has imaginary buttons recessed into it's side. Pretend that you are trying to push those buttons inward with your fingertips. That's how hard it is to push these buttons on the side of this speaker. Drop this thing into the North Atlantic so it sinks down next to the Titanic, and the extremely intense water pressure down there might not even faze these buttons. For a comparison of the sound quality, I think it's pretty similar to my old Bluetooth speaker that was shaped like a lone triangle. The angular one. And I really liked that one back in the day, so that's saying something. Compared to Echo smart speakers, it sounds much, much better than my Echo Dot (4tj Gen), but not as good or as loud as my regular Echo (4th Gen). For the money, I'm happy to go with this instead of blowing much more money on another brand that probably doesn't even sound much better than this. If it turns out that I get Herculean battery life during my camping trip next week, I might update my rating from 4 to 5 stars.

Before this, I had an imitation jbl- And I did consider buying a more expensive speaker- next time! I was on a tight budget and I believe for $39. This was the one I researched as one of the best at that price range. I was NOT Disappointed! Great sound. Great bass for the size. Also... most likely I'd call this an "indoor speaker". You know? For around the house inside. If you live in an apt building? You might even find it TOO LOUD to play at full volume. It has 3 bass/EQ settings. Thar does very good at changing the POWER of the sound. Less bass 🔊 is more neighbor friendly . You cannot go wrong buying this. Great battery life. Great sound. Does the job well! Ortizan has some nice speakers and bcuz Of this purchase? When I buy the next (And more expensive speaker..) I'll be comparing ORTIZAN with some of the Big names like MONSTER and JBL or BOSE. I wouldn't expect this company to blow those speakers away. Any means hyphen, but it is made of such quality Staines to reason that they're most expensive speakers will be very good and possibly. Have the prices of some of those more well-known name brands. Good 👍 job Ortizan. I took a risk.. and you came thru with quality!

Awesome sound, high quality materials and deep bass, I already gave it a try on the shower and is safely water proof

After owning 5 different Bluetooth speakers over the years, I was in the market for a replacement. I was looking for one under $50, with the best "bang for the buck" that I could find. After a lot of comparisons, I decided to order the Ortizan X8 Pro. The selling points for me were the 2x20W max speakers and long run time. The X8 Pro does not disappoint! Out of the six different Bluetooth speakers that I have owned, this is my favorite. The woofers put out an impressive amount of bass for a small portable Bluetooth speaker, and I get enough run time that I only have to recharge it every two or three days or so depending on usage. The only issue that I had was the USB port loosened up to where it would not charge. A short email to Ortizan, providing a short mp4 video showing the issue, and screenshots of my original purchase date, yielded me a replacement. The warranty covers the original purchaser for 12 months, and Ortizan stands behind their product. I received a replacement within a few days. Would I purchase the X8 Pro again? Absolutely! 5 Stars for the speaker, as well as their customer service!

The X8 40 watt speakers aer louder than the x8 pro navy blue speakers. I think the x8's also sound better. I paired the 2 X8 pro's together then to my phone and paired my 1 X8 to my phone also. I played all 3 together due to my phone capabilities where I have dual media out put. The single X8 out performed both X8 pro's that was paired together. I have a Galaxy S24 that has the dual media where you can play 2 different speakers at a time. Remember I paired the X8 pro's together as 1 speaker. They do have a longer battery life off of one charge than the X8. The X8 pro's do have a little advantage on sound quality. I personally like the X8's better

Delivers EVERYTHING it claims. I care about one thing..... does it sound good. And it sounds great. It's shocking really. I'm not certain how long they claim the battery lasts because I don't care. This thing connects every time (to multiple sources) and it has a very full sound for something that you can put in a jacket pocket. I now own 2 of them.
