FUGOO Bluetooth Speaker Reviews

"The Fugoo Tough XL packs a serious sonic punch, not just in sheer volume, but in sound quality as well. In general it was well-balanced sound, with more than enough volume to dominate a living room or to DJ an outdoor gathering. Another way they stand out from the pack is the large collection of accessories. There are some excellent speakers in the $300 range, but the Fugoo Tough XL holds its own against most of them when it comes to audio performance and I can't think of any in that group that also offer the same battery life or the virtual indestructibility of the Tough XL."

"Product reviewer and torturer extraordinaire George Fielding puts the Fugoo Sport XL and Fugoo Tough through several wet and muddy tests - including strapping them onto a Land Rover and driving them through what is known as a "little puddle" in Devon, England. The Tough is then driven over several times, in the mud and after being flung onto the pavement."

"Simply stated, the Fugoo XL definitely fits into the bigger-is-better category. Firstly, the battery life on the Fugoo XL is unparalleled. The competition can't even come close. I have actually submerged this three hundred dollar speaker into a tub of water. The results were eye-poppingly cool. Instead of something bad happening, the speaker just continued to play, splashing water away as the beat-heavy Chemical Brothers streamed off my phone."

"The Fugoo XL is probably the best-sounding super-robust speaker that you can buy right now. If you need something that you don't have to baby in the slightest — something you can brutalize, even — this is the way to go. It sounds better than the UE MEGABOOM, and is more durable than the JBL Xtreme. It's kind of the perfect medium between sound and durability, really. And it's got incredible battery life."

"Fugoo markets this speaker very clearly as one that excels in outdoor, active, social settings, and the Style XL delivers on that promise. Between its strong sound, ruggedness, and long battery life, Style XL shines. If you're looking for a durable Bluetooth speaker that you can bring directly from the living room to the ski slopes, the Style XL should be high on your list."

"Does it live up to our expectations? You-know… I'm just going to spoil it and say, yeah it totally does!" 9.2/10 rating

"There's a place for small and cheap portable speakers, but when you really want to hear your tunes, you need to go big. The new Fugoo Style XL is the perfect example of this, retaining its predecessor's ruggedness and long battery life while making the sound bigger and better." 9/10 rating

"Taking a different approach to a weatherproof speaker, Fugoo created a base speaker that includes a set of “jackets” to offer different levels of protection from moisture or impacts, as well as different mounting options. The Tough has great Bluetooth integration with Siri and Google Now, plus impressively loud, balanced sound."

"The Fugoo is in its own league for its ability to transform with three different jackets, and a crazy battery life of 40 hours. Most travel speakers have a battery life of around 10 hours, which I thought was good, but 40 is off the charts and really nice if you will be far from electricity for extended periods."

"FUGOO, creators of the toughest, longest lasting portable Bluetooth speaker in its weight class, is happy to announce their sponsorship of the Team Dirt Candy Graphics for the remainder of the 2015 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season."

" While this year’s CES was arguably a bit mild for Android fans, there were actually several noteworthy products shown off last week, including FUGOO's new line of bigger, louder XL speakers"

"Heavy is the head that wears the crown. The original Fugoo was crowned the world’s toughest wireless speaker, and while most brands would be more than happy with that title, Fugoo knew it needed to continue innovated. That’s where the Fugoo Sports XL Speaker comes into play."

"The Fugoo XL is four times the size of the original Fugoo, making it pretty dang big. To go along with that big size, it's got eight total drivers - four tweeters, two drivers, and two bass drivers. If it's anything like its little brother, that means it's going to sound great. And it should be stupid-loud, too."

"The new Fugoo XL is just that, packed with eight acoustic drivers, up from six, that combine to provide 24 watts of power. Specifically, we’re looking at four neodymium tweeters, two neodymium aluminum domed mid-woofers, and two passive radiators. Those eight drivers are spread out on all four sides of the Fugoo XL at slight eight-degree angles to achieve Fugoo’s version of 360 degree sound."

"This just in!!! Fugoo, the company that makes what I have suggested is the best Bluetooth speaker on the market today, has come out with something new for 2015, and since you are not at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), you get to learn about it here. Today, Fugoo announced something big, and that something is the Fugoo XL."

"Although Bluetooth wireless speakers provide us a convenient way to enjoy music anywhere, but most of them are not suitable for everywhere. Just a splash of water or slight hit on the ground might completely damage them. That’s where the latest Fugoo XL clutch style Bluetooth speaker comes into play. However it retains most technicalities of its predecessor (Fugoo clutch style speaker), but comparatively the XL version is larger and tougher."

"The FUGOO Is the Toughest Bluetooth Speaker Money Can Buy. There is no shortage of portable bluetooth speakers on the market - but none of them are as tough as the FUGOO."

The Fugoo was designed to handle anything you can throw at it. It’s waterproof in up to three feet of water for 30 minutes. No need for caps or covers over the USB or audio ports. It’s all sealed up. It’s also sand and snow proof.

• "The Fugoo speaker deserves to be at the top of any Best Bluetooth speaker list."
• "No one has the type of battery life this thing does nor is anyone else as shock and water/dust proof and still sounding really good. That it comes in a small drop-proof package is a huge bonus. Set it and forget it."
• "The Fugoo can actually be submerged and still play music underwater up to a meter. It somehow does this without those annoying port coverings over the MicroUSB charging and AUX input ports."
• "The mic for speakerphone calls is also first class and callers on the other end didn’t complain of echoes like they often do with lesser quality speakers."
• "You very comfortably could take this on a long weekend trip and pass on bringing the charger."

The new Fugoo XL series was announced at Las Vegas' Consumer Electronics Show is larger and louder, ruggedized, and 100 percent waterproof, according to the company. Featuring Bluetooth connectivity, the new speaker has quadruple the wattage, and two new jacket styles that float.

Bluetooth speakers are a dime a dozen these days, but we don’t see many that are rugged and meant for the ultimate outdoorsman. FUGOO has a solution with its line of Bluetooth speakers that are waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof. Fugoo announced the XL at CES, taking the smaller version and making it larger, with more tweeters, heavier bass, and all-around louder audio.

"These speakers are completely waterproof, and even shock proof and snow proof. Which is definitely nice to have in a speaker. The Fugoo Style XL and Sport XL will be priced at $299, while the Tough XL will be $329. And if they are anything like the Fugoo Style and Sport from last year, it’ll definitely be worth the price."
