I'm David Conroy executive and for cnet.com and I'm here with the grace digital echo xvt that V T stands for Bluetooth and yes this is a wireless speaker it is also a waterproof speaker it's not water resistant it is actually fully waterproof well it isn't the sexiest looking speaker some people might even say it's a little bit ugly what is impressive about it is that it delivers very big sound for such a small size speaker so really at first glance well it might not look that good and even a little bit cheap it's actually one of the better Bluetooth speakers you can find for the money it's priced at less than $100 it's obviously very portable has a rechargeable battery inside gets about 10 hours of battery life takes about two hours to charge it and you can basically take it around anywhere with you as far as the charging goes there is a little hidden door on the back you pop it open and you can charge the speaker you do have to put that gasket back on to make it waterproof again and this also comes with a little lanyard to keep that little door attached the speaker so you don't lose it there's also a carabiner that you can attach to this speaker so you can dangle the speaker from your backpack even your belt though it's a little bit heavy weighs around 1.5 pounds like other Bluetooth speakers this has a range of about 33 feet you can do a little bit better up there no obstacles in the way but really you can stream from a smartphone tablet any device that's Bluetooth enabled to the speaker and use that device as the remote control there are a few buttons on the top volume control it also has a built-in speakerphone which is a nice addition but all-in-all despite the speakers on sleek design it is not the best looking speaker in the world I did like how it sounded and I do think it's well-designed and a good value for the money especially since it's waterproof I'm David Carr noise and that's the grace digital echo xdt bluetooth speaker thanks for watching
