bought one of these a long time ago. sound is not great. but buying another anyway for stereo. it’s actually sitting on the hood of my truck at the moment, so rock camouflage not really working.
I once stayed at a hotel down in Florida where my wife was attending a medical conference. I walked her to the days lecture room and stopped on my way back to our room to have a quick smoke. [I quit smoking 8 years ago]
There were similar speaker rocks playing the Nelly Furtado song “Maneater”. A young boy and his dad were coming out of the hotel to go to the pool. The little man was ROCKING OUT to that song. Swinging his hips, shaking his finger, belting out the song. All the while the dad was trying his hardest to get the child to stop. Shushed ‘quit it! stop doing that! etc’
That little dude not only made my day, he made an impact on my entire life. Whenever I see rock speakers or hear that version “Maneater” I can’t help but strut my stuff and wag my finger.

I ordered one from MorningSave ($4 more!) a week ago and haven’t gotten it yet.
The manufacturer web site doesn’t have a manual available for download under the “Manual” tab.
And now I’m wondering based on the comment @walarney says whether 2 will pair in stereo, either as a wired pair or as a wireless “two speakers but only 1 bluetooth name” pair for better sound.
It’s for out by the kids’ play structure, so I am not looking for high-fidelity sound. Just something loud enough that I can quit schlepping our other speaker in and out…
Based on someone else who contacted aduro about that, no. There are ones from other vendors that will pair with each other and then your phone/computer/tablet.
@2palms Up until about 2 weeks ago, mine was still in the box. I must have promptly (for a change) broken it down and recycled along with the instructions when I didn’t find another on SideDeal. (Forgot to check MorningSave.) So I can’t guarantee it’s the same brand, but it looks identical. The instruction I had said you could pair one to the other and then your phone to the other for stereo.
@walarney That’s funny. I bought mine on Side Deal a week ago. It was $4 more. But since it hasn’t arrived yet, I was not sure about the pairing situation! I don’t think I’m ready for two separate bluetooth speakers with each having the same name. (That’s super annoying.) But since my Syren speaker died, this seemed like a good substitute. Thanks for the extra explanation… the

“why do you have a rock in your room?”

So how 'bout it? Can you find the manual at https://www.aduroproducts.com/collections/audio/products/anx-audio-outdoor-rugged-rock-style-wireless-speaker or confirm/deny a second speaker will play input audio at the same time as the first one? Thanks!

@2palms Looks like i bought the first one at Woot. And it’s currently available there (for $4 more). https://electronics.woot.com/offers/aduro-anx-rock-style-wireless-speaker
