I've owned my Ion Job Rocker for almost two years, before that I'd use a vintage box with the Ion Bluetooth Cassette but I just wasn't getting the needed volume for some of my projects and battery life can be frustratingly short. While these are only mono they do have a radio and Bluetooth and they have a built in rechargeable battery. The back has two 120v US plugs that are really nice for charging the phone while cranking the unit. The Rocker will play for something like 8-12 hours at full volume which is really loud, I bring it to the ice rink and crank Maiden so everyone can hear! Ion is really stepping it up on the Bluetooth Speaker Line, looks like they added a cassette-less boombox recently, the Spectraboom, Knowing the quality of my Rocker, the Spectraboom is probably better than it looks. My Rocker also has a front handle on it, this must be the newer model, but it's basically the same.
Still abusing this guy, I gave it the distance test, I walked about five tennis courts length-wise away, yep, could still clearly make out Dokken singing Dream Warriors. The radio reception does stink but the Bluetooth is really nice.
My daughter's hockey team uses these fro their pre game warmup exercises. I'm not sure if it's the same make but it does look similar.
Nice Brutus442! The team loves it when I bring it to the ice rink but its sad when the younger guys don't know Spinal Tap or Accept.....
Sorry for your lose Brutus442, a couple of the Women's Olympians were on my men's league team and I showed them some dangling moves and who Van Halen was and they really picked up their game...
