Having the ability to take our tech anywhere and everywhere is not just a convenience now, but in most cases a necessity. The craftsmen at the G-Project have created a line of wireless, bluetooth speakers that are designed to withstand an active lifestyle with an emphasis on style and function. The G-TUBE water resistant speaker is where top tier technology meets forward-thinking design.

With awards in their pockets for innovative and evolving designs, G-Project is continuing to break down tech barriers in order to deliver products that enhance the listening experience, and the G-TUBE is a perfect example of their hard work.

G-TUBE Review Breakdown

Design:

While the compact design adds to the speaker’s convenience, the cylindrical style makes setting it on uneven surfaces a little bit of a chore. If you’re able to set up on a flat surface, then the design works beautifully, allowing for the two speakers to project sound impressive enough to mimic a much larger and more expensive unit.

The G-TUBE gives you the added element of ruggedness that fulfills the requirements for portability and performance. Having the luxury of taking electronics outside without worry about rain, or a spilt drink destroying your brand new toy is a major plus.

Durability:

Born from the needs that accompany active lifestyles, the G-TUBE serves as the perfect go-to bluetooth speaker to keep pace. The rugged casing allows for easy mobility, packing and can be set up virtually anywhere. The IPX5 water-resistant rating means that your brand new speaker is protected from water splashing on it from all angels. So while you can’t take it diving with you, if you’re by the pool, listening to music in the rain or just careless while you’re washing dishes, you won’t have to worry.

Ease of Use:  

Simply put, the G-TUBE is a breeze to set up, pair and get right into using. Once it’s all charged up, which took me a little over a half hour to do from right out of the package, pairing it was as simple as a tap of the phone. The pause and volume access is at your fingertips and makes it easy to adjust the levels quickly. By double tapping the “play” button you’re able to skip tracks without holding your paired device. With a third quick tap of the “play” button the G-TUBE will skip back to the previous track. The AUX line-in feature offers the chance to play directly from devices that aren’t Bluetooth enabled as well.

Acoustics:

The big sound that comes from the tiny duel speakers can fill a room with no problem. The sound is crisp without any distortion or static. The G-TUBE performs like a speaker two to three times the price. The roughly 33 foot Bluetooth range allows more freedom than many other speakers in the same price range.

Battery Life:IMG_6480

Charging the 6 hour battery is easy enough after you unlock the sealed access point. In keeping with the durable design, the access point is closed off by a metal latch and bolt, protecting the exposed power, headphones and line-in jacks protected. However, once unlocked, the metal bolt that closes the latch easily falls out, rolls away never to been seen again. Keep an eye on it and all will be well.

The battery life itself lives up to expectation. Once fully charged, which from a completely dead battery should take almost 3.5 hours, the G-TUBE played, without a new charge, for nearly five and a half hours. The party ended before the G-TUBE quit.

Value 

Retailing for $40.00 you’d be hard pressed to find a wireless speaker that will keep up with an active lifestyle. The G-TUBE is a beautiful blend of form, function and durability. With portability and ruggedness in mind, the G-Project has created a mobile dance party that isn’t afraid of a little bad weather. The IPX5 water-resistant/splash-proof feature alone is worth the price, and when you add in the easy set up and connection, this is a steal.
