Is the EcoRox waterproof & can the EcoRox be used in water?

YES. The EcoRox meets the IPX7 waterproof standard. The EcoRox can be used in the pool, the hot tub and the ocean without issues. Batten down the hatches and play your tunes worry free! Plus, the EcoRox floats! (Be careful, the charging cap must be closed properly to keep the EcoRox watertight.)

What is IPX7?

The IPX7 Waterproof Standard means that the product is protected against water immersion. ECOXGEAR tests all their products by submerging them in AT LEAST 3 feet of water. This means that our products, including the EcoRox can withstand use in the water. Be careful of other products that claim to be waterproof but are only IPX5 or less. They will leak and sink to the bottom of the pool under the fun conditions above.

Does the EcoRox work with any Bluetooth enabled Device?

The EcoRox waterproof speaker connects to any device that uses Bluetooth connectivity for audio. Laptops, Desktops, Tablets and Smartphones are all compatible! All Apple, Android, Blackberry and Windows devices are sure to be compatible.

How far can the EcoRox be away from my Bluetooth device?

The connectivity for the EcoRox is designed and tested to exceed 30 feet from your Bluetooth device. Walls, leaded glass windows and metal studs inside the drywall will effect the range operation. Of course none of these distractions are outside.

Can you hear the music underwater?

You can play the unit under water. But of course unless you are dolphin, you will not be able to clearly make out the audio. Although you can hear music underwater, the EcoRox was not made for the purpose of listening to music underwater. The quality of the sound will be best heard if above water.
