ROCKSTER CROSS Bluetooth Speaker
After a rainy weekend thanks to Hurricane Debby my husband and I were able to spend our usual day out in the sun poolside this past weekend. During the hot summers here in South Florida you can often find us drinks in hand, lounging in our pool, watching TV, and playing darts all while soaking up the sun. Our backyard is my favorite place to be and this weekend we had the pleasure of adding the ROCKSTER CROSS Bluetooth Speaker to our must-haves on the weekends.
We were sent the ROCKSTER CROSS Bluetooth Speaker to review, and I am very impressed. I have owned quite a few Bluetooth speakers over the years as it is a popular review request but I can honestly say this speaker tops the list at #1 of all the Bluetooth speakers I have had the chance to review. The sound is amazing! Not only does it carry, but the base in this speaker just makes everything sound amazing as if you were there.
ROCKSTER CROSS Connected to TV
My husband likes to have the TV on while we are outside. Often it is turned to a sporting event, or ESPN, however, for the purpose of showing you the amazing sound of this speaker I have chosen a movie with music. The speaker is sitting on a table in the corner of our outdoor seating setup. The TV is mounted high in the corner. I have always thought it would be nice to have it connected to a speaker so that we can enjoy the sound near us, however, any speaker in the past just hasn’t been able to produce a good quality and loud enough sound until we tried the ROCKSTER CROSS Bluetooth speaker.
I didn’t turn it up as loud as it could go because a neighbor was relaxing outside and I didn’t want to disturb her, but the sound is just amazing. I also wanted to test how the speaker sounded from a distance. As mentioned we are often in the pool and it would be nice to hear the TV or music playing when we are enjoying the water. In the video below the speaker is in the same place and I have positioned myself on the far side of the pool. The sound starts out low but I continue to turn it up so you can hear how well it carries. The video is short because again I didn’t want to bother my neighbor, it gets that loud. It sounds like it is right next to me.
Additional Bluetooth Speaker Features
The sound quality is the most important thing and we give that an A+++, however, this powerful speaker has some other great features as well.
Ease Bluetooth pairing
It was very simple to pair the speaker to both the TV and my phone. Holding the paring button on the back for a few seconds until the blue light began to blink I was then able to find the speaker on both the TV and phone and pair instantly.
Device Charing
The ROCKSTER CROSS Bluetooth speaker can also charge your device. This is great if you are using your phone as your music source and spending a day outside, your phone can stay charged and the music can keep playing.
Adapter or Battery
We have access to an outlet so the ROCKSTER CROSS Bluetooth Speaker is easy to plugin and keep on the table. However, a great feature is that it has a chargeable battery. This makes it very convenient if we want to move the speaker. It makes it great to take to the beach, a picnic, or any type of outing where you don’t have access to an outlet.
Carrying Strap
A heavy-duty strap is included for carrying the speaker or using it to hang the speaker if you wish for a higher placement.
Dual Pairing
We only have one ROCKSTER CROSS Bluetooth speaker but if you had two you can create a surround sound type of atmosphere. Pair two using Bluetooth for simultaneous playback at even higher volumes. Unleash your sound.
Conclusion
We love the ROCKSTER CROSS Bluetooth Speaker as an addition to our weekend activities. The only thing I would love to see is an app to control the speaker from a distance. This is just a minor thing overall this speaker really is a ROCKSTER. At the time of this article, the ROCKSTER CROSS Bluetooth speaker retails for $249.99. You can find out more about the speaker and any additional specifications on their website.
