Mine is not working lol. It turns on. Connects via bluetooth. There is absolutely no sound. I have tried with different devices, it’s aux cable, etc. Nothing. Rechargable brick
@greenbeans Try really fast clicking the + for the volume. and wiggle it front to back at the same time. One of mine would not turn up; then I tried that. It finally did. But it should just work easily.
Also I have been reading the interwebz, the version 2 that it seems we all received vs the 3S that was advertised cannot wirelessly pair.
But it is what it is. I already gave one to my neighbor and said “Whatever you do, do not use the volume - on the speaker itself. Cuz good luck getting it to volume up ever again.” I really wanted to pair 2 together for the firepit. If I knew they were only good as stand alone speakers I would have only ordered one for the boat.
Am I totally unhappy? Sort of. I was led to believe it was a LifeJacket 3S. But we received 2 different models of the LifeJacket 2.
Do they work? Well Sort of on that part.
I guess for 10.00 a piece its NOT too bad. But it was not what was said they were selling. I had actually cancelled my first order of 1 and then ordered 2. WIsh I would have just stuck with the first order of 1. But then again my neighbor kid would not be jamming now
@b_loc84 Exactly what I received as well. And the Model #s are totally different between them. One is am IMW577-AB and one is a IMW577-AB-KHL. One the Volume - does not work and the other the Volume + does not work.
From what I read the IMW577 is the LifeJacket 2 and the IMW578 is the three. The Lifejacket 2 does NOT stereo pair from what I am reading. THe Lifejacket 3 IMW578 yes does. but the older 2 does not. Totally Bummed. I wante d to stereo pair out by the fire at night.
Had I known it would be a Lifejacket 2 I would have only purchased a single.
Just a FYI. Both Items I bought during this last Meh-rathon do not work. Dartwood Deep Tissue Massage Gun was DOA, Both these speakers have issues and they were NOT the model that was advertised during the sale.
Bait and Switch on the speakers. The Dartwood Deep Tissue Massage Gun was refunded today. Sent an inquiry about these speakers now. We shall see. But 2 for 2 during the Meh-rathon is pretty shitty. If you ordered the IRK be ready to receive these speakers or the Dartwood Deep Tissue Massage Gun or the non working candles with remote.
@greenbeans@jonjen2 I made a staticky styrofoam mess all over my sofa trying to get some unknown item out of its box, only to discover it was… a Christmas cross?? Having to get out my vacuum cleaner just added to the instant regret.
@greenbeans Not really a scam, more like bait and switch. Yes I ordered based on being the LifeJacket 3S, with the ability to pair 2 together. Mine do sort of work (alibet singularly), To control volume; (if you can get yours to Go full volume) I use my phone to adjust it up and down after that. So they sort of work. But again I ordered based on the description for the 3S. Not the 2.

It uses 4 AA Batteries
@user51936903 NOPE! It is rechargeable. Do a lil homework
I’m guessing the bot wrote this one.
@Kyeh don’t remember but boy I hope so
@jouest @Kyeh that confession is disturbing on several levels, that’s why we come here.
@jouest @pmarin And it did!
Maybe I can use it in the old car.
For nostalgia and no particular reason

@pmarin Or a new one. If the Slate is as basic as they’re touting it to be, the base model will not have a radio or speakers.

@pmarin you can, that’s how I use one of mine. these are a good speaker and a value
@narfcake I don’t know what the truck is. Now I want one.

From Amazon, no, it is rechargeable

@greenbeans Maybe when they say refurbished, they mean the box it comes in.

@jonjen2 no luck with that
Mine won’t connect and it shows up in my Bluetooth list as life jacket 2, not the 3s.

@jonjen2 I got it. It was bad. Half the box was a Christmas cross lol.

Mine does not even turn on. Refurbished???
This is basically a scam then…? No one’s really works and everyone got the non listed item…?
