good radio for cheap
Purchased a few of these ion radios. All from Amazon refurbished. I purchased 2 of the pathfinder 280s to link in my backyard for cookouts. Very loud very nice radio. Very long battery life. Make sure to test all the stations and Bluetooth and the battery charging as soon as you open. If those all work the radio is worth it. I will say to avoid the GameDay party. Thing is not worth the money. Got two of those have good battery life sound quality and volume suck. Mk-3 sport and sport and sport xl also all worked great and sound great.

Sounds good but doesn't hold a charge.
Awsome radio, Bluetooth, sounds good, i like that it rolls & has a long handle & easy carrying but it doesn't hold a charge but for 5 minutes. Disappointed. OK finally got it to charge well, NOT disappointed anymore, very happy with it. Thank you. Back to NOT charging ugh.

Value speaker with good sound and battery life
We purchased this speaker to provide an external speaker for parties and while working out. In an enclosed space it provides ample volume and sound quality. In open spaces the volume and bass carries enabling listeners, even a decent distance away, to enjoy the music. My son has even used it for baseball tournaments, since it is easy to move around, during warm up and the team loved it.I would recommend this product and a cost effective alternative to JBL.

Refurb works perfectly as advertised
I purchased 2 ion refurbished multi use speakers. I could not be happier1. Bluetooth works seamlessly2. Sound quality is fine for wireless, if you're expecting Bose don't.3. The refurb was excellent 👌. They are new, not newish, not lightly used. If I put them in a box and marked it new you would not know. That's good work.The battery came 90% charged, both fully charged in no time, and held.Please if you're looking for speakers for all sorts of uses, indoor, outdoor, whatever they work fantastic. Quality for the money, I honestly felt it was a great price point.

Refurbished item with performance worse than 3 year old counterpart
I have to issue this unit 1 star as the battery life was it's main purpose I bought it. I bought this item to pair with a nearly 3 year old unit that I purchased new from Costco. Fresh out of the packaging it is scratched way worse than the 3 year old unit. The battery is also severely damaged. Charged both speakers for their first use together. Unplugged them got them paired and tested for 5-10 minutes. The following day, the new refurbished speaker was down 2 battery bars and the 3 year old speaker was completely full. Okay maybe it wasn't charged all the way. Finished the hour long fireworks show with the old one over half and the new one with 1 bar of battery left. Charged them both up for a few days and went to use them again the following weekend for a projector movie night. Once again within 20 mins the new speaker was down 2 bars while the 3 year old one was still full. At the end of the movie the old one was barely down half and the new one was getting ready to die. The old speaker has had extensive use and been through many torrential downpours and the only damage is light scratching and the rubber cover for the charge port has fallen off. I host weekly projector movie nights around the campground and do the music for many events, dances, shows, poker runs, golf cart parades etc. The battery life of the unit is essential to its use. Overall not satisfied as the speaker is barely useful for Mobil events. I already have dj speakers I use when I have access to power. Seeing as the price was about the same as the brand new from Costco when I bought it I'm very disappointed.

The "link" option works great to have two speakers!
I bought the Pathfinder 4 and the this ion 280 and "link"them together wirelessly. They both work great! At work I'll use the Qi charger on the 4 but IT IS CRAZY SLOW fyi. This ion 280 has a water right enclosure on top instead of the Qi so I'll keep a Qi magnetic usb cord in it and it's way faster to use an after market Qi charger on either speaker. But I bought both used on Amazon so they were half price roughly and ion sells user installable batteries cheap anyways so no brainer. The link works further than the Bluetooth on a phone and super clear, synced audio but it's not super far. It'll work upstairs and downstairs but pretty much has to be above one another. Fyi. I have 20+ wireless speakers and this one is my favorite. If I were to get two to link together I'd just get two of these 280s.
