Questions and answers
- Are these two listings the same speaker?
- Yes. Both are the Turtlebox Original Gen 3 with the same IP67 rating, 120 dB output and Bluetooth 5.4. Buy the cheaper listing.
- How loud is it?
- Turtlebox rates it at up to 120 dB peak with 100 W of output. That is loud enough for an open tailgate or boat.
- How long does the battery last?
- The listing highlights claim 25+ hours per charge, while the spec field says 3 days. Expect roughly a full day of loud playback.
- Can it survive being dropped in the water?
- Yes. It is IP67 rated, floats, and is listed as submersible up to 3 feet for 30 minutes. Rinse it after saltwater use.
- Is it worth the extra over a cheaper Bluetooth speaker?
- Only if you need the volume and ruggedness. At 10 lb it is a carry-it-once speaker, not a pocket one.
- Can I charge my phone from it?
- Yes. Both listings list a USB-C output for charging devices.
