I got them after my old ones blew out and they mostly get used for walking a rocky trail down to the beach. If in a sandy zone, you may consider light liner as an option so sand does not show. Size is surprisingly not too big. Does what it’s supposed to do, slightly painful installation process, and it’s not as comfy as the genuine bose cushions, but you prob knew that and ur fine saving a few a bucks Its a color of blue Im not familiar with. As a test i had my son push the bottom while i took the remote outside by the garage. I’d highly recommend the TurtleBox over any other “brick” Bluetooth speaker due to its durability and sound. i have to keep this job because i got two little girls to feed. If I could Id send it back, but now if i take it off my tailgate will look crappy. Within 2 days and I ordered with standard shipping.
