With summer coming to an end, we in Florida are just starting to venture back into the outdoors as the temperatures will soon start to dip a bit lower. That means plenty of backyard picnics, poolside bashes, beach day trips, and so much more.

The fall is the perfect time for enjoying the outdoors in Florida, and we all know that everything is more fun when your favorite music is thrown into the mix. That's why I was thrilled recently, to have the opportunity to review the Altec Lansing Soundbucket XL portable bluetooth speaker. Packed with high tech features, this is portable, waterproof speaker provides you with the ultimate bluetooth music experience.

Wirelessly Charge Your Phone


Perhaps my favorite feature of the Altec Lansing Soundbucket XL is that it has the ability to charge your smartphone wirelessly. This feature is much needed when you are out with friends and family, and are streaming from your phone while also using it to take and share photos. With this feature, the Soundbucket XL keeps your phone fully charged all day, and it is as simple as placing your phone down on the pad on top of the speaker.

Long Battery Life

Fully charged in just 4-5 hours, the Altec Lansing Soundbucket XL provides you with high quality portable sound for up to 20 hours! That is enough battery to keep you rocking out to your favorite tunes all day, and well into the night too.

High Quality Sound



With the ability to connect to any bluetooth device, the sky is the limit when it comes to how you can feed music into this high tech speaker. the 50 watt RMS speaker ensures that the sound quality you receive is top notch as well.

Waterproof Fun

Designed to pump up any party, you can link up to 50 of these devices together to really get the house pumping, and the fact that the speakers are waterproof helps them hold up under conditions where other bluetooth speakers might fail. The glowing LED strobe lights on top of the Altec Lansing Soundbucket XL also add an exciting element to night time events and get togethers too.



If you are looking to up your bluetooth speaker game this fall, you could do no better than the Altec Lansing SoundBucket XL. We have had it out by the pool, at birthday parties and other outings already this summer, and it has never once failed to provide us with fully charged devices and high quality tunes all day and night!
