Take the . You get your money’s worth in this $149.99 Bluetooth wireless number. With a rugged and durable design that is both shockproof and fully waterproof, there’s little you can throw at the VG1 that will disrupt the rich, vibrant sound. And that deep bass response? That’ll have you singing the VG1’s praises for days. Link up to the unit via Bluetooth or via a 3.5mm mini jack to blast your tunes through the two premium aluminum drivers. (You can also link two units together for proper surround sound.) If you’re an Apple user, Siri commands will work seamlessly through the VG1, too. The sound is always perfect, with very high clarity at high volume, regardless of the genre of music you’re pumping, and one nice design touch are the beveled edges, which allow you to tilt the VG1 back slightly to direct the sound up instead of directly forward. It can help to fill a room just a little more. Lastly, a 15-hour rechargeable lithium-ion battery means hours of playback without having to interrupt the party to find a charging cable. ()

There’s a mode for indoors that tailors the sound experience to enclosed spaces, while an outdoor mode will open up the sound to maximize for an open-air environment. At $699, this is definitely a commitment, but the Soundcast VG7 is no joke. We cranked one unit up to 50 percent volume on the ninth floor of our office and had someone on the seventh floor tell us they could feel the bass. ()
