I got this for Christmas last year and really loved it in the beginning. However I noticed that if I played it too loud it almost shorted out and the sound would go away until I lowered it a bit. I don't know if I blew the speakers or not but it would definitely have that scratchy sound like a bad speaker. I primarily used it in the shower and although it's supposedly water resistant apparently it couldn't stand up to my showering because it eventually lost all sound quality. It's now very very scratchy sounding and it completely shorts out if the sound is too loud or too much bass is present, it goes to complete static. I'm not sure if it got too much water exposure, was defective, or if I just broke it but bottom line I'm getting a different one.
