Vanten – Outdoor Bluetooth Speakers with LED Flame Effect – 2 Pack, IPX5 Waterproof

I have had these relatively inexpensive speakers for a couple of weeks now and have used them several times for fires in the backyard, entertaining at family gatherings, on the beach, and camping. They arrived securely packaged. Bluetoothing to the speakers was relatively easy. Followed the supplied directions and zippity zap stereophonic music in the speakers. Internal rechargeable batteries are great. I have used the speakers in excess of 4 hours with continuous music, although I didn’t have the cool flame feature running for those uses. The stereo sound is excellent as long as the connected Bluetooth phone stays in near vicinity. I have also used the flame feature while camping to add a little light to the night. I have used the music and flame together for testing purposes to be sure there were no quirks and there were none. If I have what I know to be a short event I will use both but having the music has been more important at our events than the flame and I didn’t want to jeopardize the music for the flame. It is my belief the flame is probably more energy draining than the music. So far, I have no functionality complaints about these speakers. I have found it difficult to plug in the supplied power USB cords. It’s like the port is slightly too small and the rubber moisture cover takes a little fidgeting to put back on mine. I can get them in there with a little effort so it not that big of a deal. I would recommend these speakers if you were looking for an easily connectable inexpensive stereo sound at your small events. I could also see these being great to listen to podcast stories in a group setting. Hope this review was helpful to you!
