Initially it looked like this would be a great product for our pool. It hooks up easily and feels like it is designed to properly handle use in the pool. The first issue I had was that the volume was very low for an outdoor device. We have a waterfall in the pool as well, so we could barely hear the speaker. After trying it out three times it now won't even play music consistently - the music cuts in and out - particularly if the volume is turned up. It offers three channels to connect the speaker and transmitter, but none of them make any difference.

I struggled giving the device two stars as it is basically useless to me at the moment. The fact that it is mechanically a nice setup and that I am still waiting for a response from customer service (manufacturer) pushed me to add the second star. Bottom line is that I would not recommend this product unless they sort out this transmission problem. Even then the volume issue really makes it fall short of the mark for an outside device.

I bought 4 of these in the summer of 2010. Of the four, 3 have severe leaks and the fourth has quit alogether....while the design is nice, the quality is sub-par. I do not recommend.

The sound quality is not that good unless the POD is VERY close to the transmitter. Sound is scratchy.

I purchased this for use in my outdoor hot tub. I got tired of dragging my speakers connected to long speaker wire out the back door everytime we used the hot tub. I didn't want the hassle of hard wiring outdoor speakers so I thought I would give the PoolPod a try first. I have to admit that I was extremely worried about the volume being loud enough. I actually have been looking at this system on and off for 6 months now. I really thought it wasn't going to work, but I finally decided to just give it a try. The first time I used it I was pleasantly surprised. My transmitter is about 25 feet from the hot tub. I have my MP3 player plugged into it and it's volume up to about 80%. The PoolPod volume is two clicks away from max and I have no problem clearly hearing my music over the hot tub jets. This is no Bose system but the sound quality is better than what I expected. I have used it 3 nights in a row now and have completely enjoyed it. I put my mp3 player on shuffle, throw the PoolPod in the hot tub, grab a frosty beverage and enjoy the evening. The only thing I'm not sure of is how fast it eats batteries. I may find it worthwhile to invest in some rechargeable batteries in the future. Unless you are obessed with your sound quality this is an ideal setup for a hot tub and well worth the money.

Great toy.
low volume for outdoors, but still one of the best options to listen your music on the pool.

It sounded great . . . for the first three times that I used it and now I just get a static sound (to be fair, sometimes the music cuts in and out- mixed in with the static noise). I was only trying to use it from the computer to the bathroom - 30 ft. away and with an open door. Now it just makes a cracking noise, no matter what channel I turn on. Waste of money.

Came promptly, has good full sound for such a small speaker. It was a little smaller than I anticipated. I use it in the bathroom now to listen to music while I shower. Once our building opens the pool, I think it'll be great out there. The frustrating thing is that it SUCKS BATTERIES DRY. 6AA batteries don't last a day. I use rechargeable batteries & they go down in about 6 hours. But you just plug the transmitter into the wall & the computer, turn on the ball & you're ready. There's also a blue light on the ball for night swimming.

Great fun having a speaker floating in your pool. Works great with good quality sound reproduction.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I connected this to my TV on the patio and can now hear the sound from the pool. It was real easy to set up and use. I plugged the transmitter to a switchable outlet so I can easily turn it on and off with a remote. All of the wires are hidden behind the TV.

So far so good. Works wonders having tunes in the spa. It even has a underwater light, gives the spa a nice blue glow.
