KiKaZz74 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 So currently i work in warehousing driving a forklift inside and outside. work day is roughly 10 hours. I recieved a Polk Audio Boom Movement Swimmer for christmas. i like it but the battery life sucks. im going to assume it is the cold but it is advertised as up to 8 hours at full volume. im lucky to get 2. i just want some ideas on a new long life bluetooth portable speaker. i would prefer waterproof since i work outside. and it needs to be durable. no more than $60-75. also would like it to be loud, but clean, and have some amount of bass to it if possible. i know that asking for a lot but im hoping there might be something. main thing though is battery life. id like to get a minimum of 5 hours at full volume in cold temps. there are days where it is 0 degrees out and our warehouse is in the teens. life in the summer im not as worried about but its a pain right now. so let me know what you guys know of. and dont recommend a diamondboxx. i like them but not worth the cost in my eyes.

corey0928 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I have a gboom portable. Its bigger but out works nice. Don't know how many straight hours it stays without a charge though. And it's generally around $99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwallaker Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Why not bluetooth headphones . I have jay birds x2 and harmon kardon over ear , both have batt life over 8 hrs . Close to 12 actually . Also the diamondboxx is expensive but, absolutely amazing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayuk89 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 At my shop i have a beatblock it was like $130 off the tool truck. It worked great, its bluetooth and has AUX input.

KiKaZz74 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 That gboom is a little to big for me. Lol. I do like it though. As for headphones its against company policy. Gotta be able to hear what's around us. And the beatblock might be an option. Found it for $70 on amazon. So that's the winner at this point. Nice battery on it too.
