It’s hard to believe that summer time is just around the corner. That means lazy days lounging pool side, trips to the beach and plenty of barbecues and picnics. What goes perfect with these situations is music.
Gone are the days of huge “boom boxes” and having to move your entire stereo system outside just to listen to some tunes. These days most people enjoy their music from the smartphone or tablet. While these options are certainly more portable, the sound quality is not the best. Even on maximum volume, music streamed from your phone or tablet is not going to be loud enough to be heard over loud guests. What you need is an external speaker.
There are many external speakers on the market. Some are amazing where as others are not worth the cost to purchase them.
I recently had the opportunity to test drive an external speaker from a company called LuguLake . They have a portable speaker that comes with a built in dock to rest your phone or tablet on.
The LuguLake speaker comes with a charging cable and a cable to connect to your device in the event the device you are using is not Bluetooth compatible.
Before you use the device you will need to charge it. It’s portable so you can take it with you where ever you go – including the beach where you’ll have no power source. You just have to make sure you charge up the speaker first.
Pairing the speaker with my smartphone was super easy to do. I can be “technologically challenged” at times and I had no problem connecting the speaker to my iPhone.
That’s it. There is nothing else to it. It’s that easy.
I like the dock feature on the speaker. I like that I can rest my phone some place safe while still being able to access my music.
I haven’t tried the speaker with my iPad yet. I would be a little concerned about the iPad toppling over the speaker, but I think it would be OK.
The sounds quality for the LuguLake speaker is really good. The music is crystal clear and the volume can get pretty loud – ideal for noisy backyard gatherings or tailgating parties.
I’m surprised that the speakers come fro the side only. But they work really good. I guess it gives you more of a “surround sound” experience because the music is coming from the site and not from the front.
The battery life is really good. I’ve used the speaker many times at my desk and I’ve only had to recharge it once so far. I would have to guess that it gets about 10+ hours of use before it needs to be recharged.
The speaker is not that big making it very portable. You can easily slip it into your bag, tote bag, picnic basket or backpack.
For more information about the LuguLake speaker visit LuguLake.US (notice it’s US and not .com). LuguLake carries a lot of interesting consumer products.
The brand can also be found on social media. All of the links are found at the bottom of their website.

Hands down You Will Not Find a better sounding portable speaker for the price. The quality and sound of this Bluetooth stereo speaker are as equal if not better than those that cost over $200.00.

Hi there! I’ve been trying to win a portable speaker for months now. I would love this one. I love that it’s compatible with my iPhone 5 and my sisters iPad mini. This thing looks great, I can barely hear my music in the shower. This would be a great upgrade from my iPhone 5 speakers. Sadly I think my speakers are going out, they don’t seem to be as loud anymore.
