Introducing the ECOXGEAR DEFENDER Scout

We built the original DEFENDER to be the toughest waterproof speaker you could take anywhere. Now we're taking it even further. The DEFENDER Scout is the newest addition to the DEFENDER family, and it's designed for the adventurer who wants every bit of that DEFENDER toughness in a lighter, more packable 4-pound design.

IP67 waterproof and dustproof. 60 watts of massive sound. 25+ hours of battery life. And a fully sealed enclosure built to take rain, snow, submersion, and whatever else you throw at it. The Scout goes wherever you go: trails, tailgates, campsites, poolside, and everywhere in between.

Available now at ecoxgear.com and in Academy stores nationwide for $199.99.

All-Day Sound, Built for the Outdoors

The Scout isn't small in a compromised way. A 60W Texas Instruments power amplifier drives a 4"x6" polypropylene carbon fiber blend woofer, a 1.5" titanium tweeter with double neodymium magnet design, and two 3"x4" passive woofers. The result is rich, powerful sound that fills any space, indoors or out.

Three digital EQ settings (Indoor, Outdoor, and Favorite) let you tune the sound for wherever you are. And with 25+ hours of playtime on a charge (6+ hours at max volume) plus a built-in AC power option that lets you play while charging, the Scout keeps the music going long after everyone else has packed it in.

Connected, Lit, and Feature-Loaded

Bluetooth 5.4 gets you connected up to 100 feet away, with support for two devices at once. Want more speakers? ECOCAST lets you link up to 100 ECOXGEAR or SoundExtreme speakers together into one seamless audio experience. True left/right stereo pairing is supported too.

The Scout also comes loaded with addressable LED accent lights and a built-in flashlight, both controllable via the keypad or the SoundExtreme app. LEDCast lets you wirelessly sync lighting with compatible accessories for a full light and sound setup. Throw in speakerphone, Siri and Google Assistant support, and a 20W USB-C PD fast-charging port to keep your devices topped off, and the Scout covers all the bases.

"The DEFENDER has always stood for audio that works as hard as the people who carry it. The DEFENDER Scout is for the adventurer who wants every bit of that DEFENDER DNA, including the durability, the sound quality, and the feature set, in a lighter package that can go wherever they do."
