ZEALOT Portable Bluetooth Speaker, 80W Peak Waterproof Loud Booming Sound Speakers, Dual Pairing, XBass, 25H Playtime, Outdoor Speaker with Handle for Camping, Beach, Party, Backyard (Gray)

As someone who appreciates good audio, I'm always on the lookout for a portable Bluetooth speaker that can deliver a full sound without being too bulky. This Zealot speaker fits that description perfectly, offering a rugged build and some great functionality.🔵 The best feature is definitely the sound quality. For a speaker of this size, it produces a surprisingly rich and full sound. The bass is present and punchy without being muddy, the mids and highs are clear. It gets plenty loud enough to fill a large room or a backyard space without distorting, which is great for parties or just working in the garage.🔵 I especially like the dual pairing capability, which allows you to connect two of these speakers to one source for a true stereo sound experience. The setup for this was straightforward and it creates a much more immersive soundstage than a single speaker ever could. The sturdy handle and waterproof design also make it a reliable choice for outdoor use.🔵 My only real issue is with the startup and connection sounds. It plays a rather loud and distinct jingle that you can't disable. It's not a deal breaker by any means, but I do wish there was an option in the settings for a more subtle notification or just a simple, quiet beep.The VerdictThis is an excellent all-around portable speaker. It delivers powerful, high-quality audio and has great features like dual pairing that add a lot of value. If you're looking for a rugged speaker for home or outdoor use that sounds great, this is a solid choice.As a 35 year veteran of the computer technology industry, I offer informed and experienced perspectives in my product reviews.I will update this review if anything changes within 1 year.

The media could not be loaded. I almost didn’t buy this speaker because it said 80W, and I’ll be honest—I don’t know much about watts, but it didn’t sound like a lot. I’m glad I gave it a chance though, because the ZEALOT P12 is surprisingly loud and clear, and you can crank it up even higher. It easily fills the backyard and would be great for parties or outdoor gatherings.It also looks cool with the LED lights on both ends, which move to the beat and add a fun vibe, especially at night. Even though it looks big, it’s actually pretty lightweight and easy to carry with the built-in handle. The handle feels solid too—not like it’s going to snap off when you grab it.The EQ button actually makes a difference depending on the kind of sound you want—clearer vocals or more bass-heavy tracks. There are three sound modes, and they’re easy to switch through once you know what you’re doing.Couple things to know up front:• The instructions are mostly pictures and not very detailed. It took me a minute to figure out that to adjust volume, you don’t hold the + or – button—you have to press it repeatedly to go up or down.• The “M” button changes modes: Bluetooth, USB, AUX, or TF, which stands for TransFlash (aka microSD card). That was a new one for me, so worth knowing.It also has a bunch of connection options (USB, AUX, TF/microSD, Bluetooth), which makes it flexible no matter how you’re using it.It took a while to arrive—I think it was a new release—but once it did, I was glad I waited. It’s a great speaker for the price, especially if you want something powerful, portable, and ready for a party.

This is quite a decent speaker! I love the handle on top. The speaker with its size and weight is truly portable and convenient to carry around. The sound quality is quite decent for this kind of thing. It’s not audiophile quality, mind you, but you’re certainly not expecting that. It’s super easy to connect, and is flexible in the ways that you can connect it or provide it with a source.The battery life is great, and all the light show stuff is kind of cute. I will say, this speaker is surprisingly loud for its size. Like, enough to hurt you if you’re close to it. And even up at its full volume, it never seems to make any cracking sounds. I find that quite a marvel.

Great portable speaker. The sound is actually very good, although the bass isn't as punchy as I was hoping for, but that may change after the speaker loosens up some since it's new. The speaker has 3 EQ settings and putting it in bass mode did help. The lights on the sides have different colors and several different patterns which looks nice, but ultimately really doesn't do anything for me. Linking up the first time was super easy and it's got pretty decent range, my phone can be across the house and still work with it.The back panel has a cover over several plugs including a line in 3.5mm plug for connecting any player without Bluetooth. It also has a micro sd card slot for playing MP3's as well as a charge port and a standard USB port. So far I'm extremely happy with this speaker and if it lasts as long as my last one, this will be totally worth the price.

This speaker was a little larger than I expected, but not too heavy or unwieldy. The handle is nice and makes it super easy to carry. Bluetooth wasn't difficult to connect. The sound quality was good, it gets plenty loud without distortion. I like the equalizer function for extra bass! Charges with USB-C, and has a standard USB port so you could charge your phone or other device using the speaker as the power source. It says it will pair with a 2nd speaker for stereo playback, but I only bought one, so I can't verify that. My only complaint is that the flat spot on the bottom isn't quite big enough, and it can roll over easily with a slight touch or uneven surface, but that's a minor issue. Overall, I like it!
