Where does this product score?

The Alpine Rock Speaker delighted reviewers since it shipped with a solar panel. They also liked that it was not quite heavy and produced a balanced sound. However, the speaker’s low bass levels, lack of Wi-Fi connectivity, and missing microphone were quite disappointing.

Overview_

The Alpine Solar Bluetooth Rock Speaker is a high-end model first released in late 2020. It has a rock design, and this also makes it one of the best speakers to use outdoors. The Alpine Speaker has a solar panel that can be used to charge its battery, and it also ships with a USB cable that owners can use to charge its built-in rechargeable battery. It also boasts Bluetooth connectivity, so it can pair with up to two devices, even though this is not as many as what the best Bluetooth speakers are capable of. The Alpine Bluetooth speaker also has a Bluetooth range of about 98.4 feet, and, weighing about 6.8 pounds, it is portable and lightweight. It is also water resistant, but if you’re in the market for something that is waterproof, we also took the time to find out what the best waterproof speaker is.

The Alpine Rock Speaker has a slight advantage because of its longer 22.2-hour battery life compared to the B83GR’s 6.5-hour battery life. It also charges faster, taking only 2.3 hours compared to the B83GR, with 6.3 hours. However, the B83GR has a power-saving feature while the Alpine Speaker does not.

However, the Flip 5 has a power-saving mode while the Alpine speaker does not, and it also has a companion app while the Alpine Speaker does not.	The Alpine Solar Bluetooth Rock Speaker is the only one of its kind released by the Alpine company.
