The Fugoo Tough is an amazing Bluetooth speaker that has a very good looking design and has amazing sound quality!

Box contents:
-Fugoo Tough Bluetooth Speaker
-Flat micro USB cable
-Flat aux cable
-Allen key for changing the housing/jacket
-USB wall charger that is UL listed and has a max output of 2.1 amps (can be used to charge tablets/smartphones as well)
-2 Philip metal screws to keep the jacket on securely
-Carrying bag (used to carry the extra goodies like the charging cable and aux cable)

Pros:
-Best sound quality in a Bluetooth speaker I have at the time of this review (this speaker has the best bass compared to other speakers I have)
-Tough model is waterproof (up to 3 feet for 30 minutes), dustproof, shockproof, mud proof, snow proof...in other words, life proof! (IP67 rated)
-Built in Bluetooth 4.0 (uses a very low amount of power)
-A whopping 40 hour battery life on a single charge (50% volume level) (I though 20 hours was a lot...double that!) (I'm amazed!)
-360 degree sound (6 drivers) (the 6 drivers face all 4 directions, with an 8-degree upward tilt for better dispersion and to avoid the speaker from vibrating and moving)
-Charges by micro USB
-1 volume control source (the volume buttons on the speaker change the volume on the device, rather than having 2 separate volume controls)
-Has an aux port for playing non Bluetooth devices or to save battery life
-Buttons on top allow you to control the volume, play/pause and activate Siri or other voice assistants
-Voice guide (speaker actually speaks to you very clearly on the status of the speaker and what to do) (see video)
-Voices can be changed [...]
-Built in mic for phone calls and to talk to voice assistants
-2 bars on the bottom to allow the user to hook the speaker onto something like a backpack
-Rugged design looks very stunning
-Battery level is shown next to the Bluetooth symbol on my iOS devices with Bluetooth 4.0
-Core-X technology delivery's the best sound quality
-Personally I think this speaker is at a great price for what you get!

Cons:
-For songs with boosted bass, the bass sounds distorted at max volume or at a very high volume
-May be a little heavy for some people but it packs a large battery for a very long use

Main specs:
-Two 28mm neodymium tweeters
-Two 39mm neodymium aluminum domed mid/woofers
-Two 43mm x 54mm passive radiators
-Sound Pressure Level: 95dB at 0.5 meters
-Full Range Frequency Response: 60Hz - 20KHz
-Supports aptX® codec for high-quality Bluetooth stereo sound
-Using a scale, the speaker weighed 645.2 grams with the tough jacket installed
-IP67 rated

This is an amazing speaker. This speaker is one of the best Bluetooth speakers I have tested. I highly recommend this Bluetooth speaker!
