Is your son a DJ or wanting to DJ?

That speaker is battery powered which is cool but everything else about is consumer grade aka cheap. Get him a Yamaha DXR15 or EV ZLX12 they aren’t battery powered and don’t have Bluetooth but will last more then 6 months and will sound much better doing it.

Sorry I should have been more specific it’s EV ZLX12p that you want to look at Not the unpowered version.

I suppose it depends on what kind of events you plan on using it for. I bought the battery powered Rockville from eBay. I used it for small cocktail hour and ceremony sound. That's about all it's good for. Oh, and I've replaced the battery already...after just one season. You get what you pay for.

Don't even bother buying ev speakers
The amplifiers on those fail easily one day you wake up and their is sound but the power light is on. I have personally seen it happen to my friends ev speakers

I’ve owned and own many EV speakers and never had this problem.

I've owned ELX 115 for close to 4 years with zero issue.
