CorinNow that Christmas is over, I can post what presents I bought. Still my latest purchases tbh.
For my brother: Gränsfors Bruk Small Forest Axe.
Dad: French style rolling pin
Mom: Ticket to Florence, Italy
you got your brother an axe, your dad a rolling pin, and your mom a flight to italy haha. they're all awesome presents but the comparison is hilarious.
Really impressed with the sound quality and volume for how small it is!
Did you compare it to anything else because I'm having a hard time deciding between this and a similar Bose model? I'm leaning towards this just because its super rugged but i don't know as far as sound quality goes.

I looked around a bit before getting a portable speaker. Make sure you check out real reviews on battery life, especially at louder volumes. Also check for audio distortion at loud volumes. And make sure you check the audio when it isn't plugged in to a power source, some of them don't output the same audio quality when running on battery power alone.
Other good features are auto shutoff when you aren't using it. NFC. Audio output port. And an iPhone charging port, for emergency use most likely cause that'd prob drain the shit out of any Bluetooth speaker. Audio input port, but I'd think every single one has that.
Unless you're an audiophile producing tracks with layers and layers and you need to hear the mids and lows really crisp, in which case you wouldn't be getting a portable speaker, then the likely area audio will suffer with one of these is in the bass at higher volumes. For well rounded audio quality at mid volume I remember thinking that the Bose was ok. The Sony xPS or something was good, but it sucked unplugged and had shitty battery life.

I bought it at Best Buy and they had a pretty big selection set up that I listened to, including a Bose. The 2 that sounded the best were the UE and a JBL. The worst was probably the Beats Pill, but all of the ones I listend to were pretty comparable. The bass of the UE is a little weak, but it doesn't seem to distort at full volume. I'd say that the sound quality of most bluetooth speakers is close enough to chose one based on other features like durability, battery life etc.
Steezy_Pcan anybody vouch if these are a good purchase?
They look stupid if you're wearing them in the summer by themselves. They might look kind of cool for cycling. They look really good for mobbing around the hill during some spring skiing as displayed by Jacob Wester:
I wish Oakley Vault would ship to Canada... I'd have a pair ordered a few days ago if that were the case.

good call. Thats all I would use for I think.
BUT. I think I might get the razorblades instead..
Incorrect. The oakleys are much more comfortable and have a wider field of vision. A day of pit vipers makes my nose hurt to the point that I can't even wear them that long. Also I can't help but feel like the oakleys are better quality lenses than shaded shooting glasses
