Battery life has significantly improved from the previous 6-hour runtime to nearly 12 hours, making it suitable for a full day of usage. The switch from micro-USB to USB-C simplifies charging for modern users.
Its IP67 rating means the speaker can survive rain, beach trips, or even full submersion. The fabric strap has been redesigned for flexibility, allowing attachment to backpacks, handlebars, or shower rods with ease.
