Haven't heard anything about Altec Lansing in a while, this has pretty good reviews though, I wonder how accurate the 20 hour battery life claim is, would that mean 20 hours at full volume?

I don't think it is a life jacket.

Looks like most of the reviews comment on how good battery life is, so I'd expect it to last as long as it's rated for

Altec is a reputable brand for speakers. Never heard this one but I am willing to bet this compares to the flip 3

I just picked up a Xpedition 4 at Ollies for $60, and it sounds amazing! I'm testing the battery life as we speak and that is my only concern

excellent choice.. Im a bit of a sound snob.. I prefer altec lansings over most brands.. Their Xpedition 4 (although very modestly priced) has some awesome sounds in all areas (mids , highs, lows, and respectable punch) .. you will not be disappointed.

(suggestion) as a testimony to X-4's clarity play this at a fairly high level : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ueivjr3f8xg

Not knocking this deal. Just an FYI that battery life time ratings are usually not at 100% volume. Usually 50-75% volume.

Looks like a mistake since these are at lower prices and have the lights on them around the speakers.
Can someone verify? I own one of their speakers and love that it floats in my pool - but atm my pool is frozen over.. LOL

This is the one I picked up.

Yep. Typically 50% volume for listed max rating.

My wife has the base life jacket. Has only had to charge it like 10 times in 2 years and she uses it every day for about 20-30 minutes as she showers and stuff. Sounds pretty good for the size and price, too.
