TDK Life on Record A33 Wireless Weatherproof Speaker: Impressive for the money

While the TDK Life on Record A33 Wireless Weatherproof Speaker has a few small shortcomings, it delivers very good sound for its size and price (around $150) and is well suited to both indoor and outdoor use with a sturdy, splashproof design.

The ; delivers very good sound for its size, has a sturdy, water-resistant design, speakerphone capabilities, and a USB charging port to charge your smartphone or tablet. It's also a decent value at around $150 online.

Battery life (6 hours) isn't great, you must recharge the speaker with an AC adapter rather than a common Micro-USB cable, and there's no pause/play button on the speaker itself.

TDK Life on Record Wireless Weatherproof Speaker A33

WAY Better than I expected

This is a really great little box with excellent sound for discriminating listeners. It has reliable function as well as features well beyond my expectations. I really had no idea I might be this impressed. Considering the sound quality, and features...

Works as Speaker/Microphone for your cell phone Water-Resistant Small & rugged, will travel well Looks great

I have not noticed anything negative since pulling it out of the box and using it for almost 2 months

The best Bluetooth sound under $200.

Beats out most over $200 too. I compared a lot of them. Great job TDK!

Full clear sound, strong bass. Water resistant. Solid and "feels" like quality.

A little heavy for portable, but manageable considering the sound quality. Wish it came with car charger too.

TDK Life On Record A33

Sounds great! There are better options out there for around the same price.

Sounds great. Good Battery. Water resistant

The rubber pieces start falling off in a month or two. The rubber cover for the power plug, usb, on/off switch and mini plug is hinged on by a thin .5mm peace of rubber that soon broke and then I lost the whole thing. Now no longer water resistance....

Stopped working

Was nice design, but internally they should have proven it's worth more during different seasons.

Loud for it's size ; dust proof to a degree ; great clarity when talking

Heavy, but helped it stay still when set down ; I got back from a trip, came home and unit does not power on period, no matter what i do. and can't get a return, or refund now ; 160$ spent on a brick
