The Limitless Innovations TikiTunes is a portable Bluetooth speaker designed to look like a torch light. It has an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance, though we don't currently test for this, and it can also be attached to a pole and ground stake using the threaded hole underneath. You can even pair it with another TikiTunes speaker via Bluetooth. Unfortunately, its materials don't feel very premium, and its uneven, muddy sound profile lacks a lot of low-bass.
Our Verdict
The Limitless Innovations TikiTunes is disappointing for music. It has an uneven sound profile that muddies vocals and lead instruments while pushing them towards the back of the mix. Sibilants like S and T sounds are alternately piercing and dull, and it struggles to reproduce a thumpy low-bass. Unfortunately, there isn't any way to customize its sound profile more to your liking. It has to downmix stereo content into mono to play it, and it doesn't get very loud.
- Excellent directivity makes audio clear from all angles.
- Lacks low-bass.
- Doesn't get very loud.
The Limitless Innovations TikiTunes is poor for videos and movies. Due to its uneven sound profile, dialogue is muddy and pushed towards the back of the mix. It struggles to reproduce low-bass, too, so you don't feel the deep rumbles in action-packed scenes. Its high latency with iOS and Android devices isn't ideal for videos, though some apps compensate for latency differently, so your real-world experience may vary.
- Excellent directivity makes audio clear from all angles.
- Lacks low-bass.
- Doesn't get very loud.
The Limitless Innovations TikiTunes is decent for podcasts. Its portable design makes it easy to bring with you outdoors, and its excellent directivity helps make audio clear from all angles. Unfortunately, its sound profile can muddy dialogue and push it towards the back of the mix, and sibilants like S and T sounds may be alternately sharp or dull. There isn't any way to customize its sound profile, either.

The Limitless Innovations TikiTunes is acceptable for outdoor use. It's portable and lightweight. Also, it has an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance, though we don't currently test for this. It also lasts for sixteen hours off of a single charge, which is suitable for long days outside. That said, it doesn't get very loud, and its plastic build doesn't feel very durable. Also, its uneven sound profile is lacking a lot of low-bass.

It's intended for outdoor use, and it even has an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance, though we don't currently test for this.

The Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 2 is a better speaker than the Limitless Innovations TikiTunes. The Ultimate Ears is better-built with a more neutral sound profile. It can also play stereo content without downmixing it into mono, unlike the TikiTunes, and it can get louder. That said, the TikiTunes has longer battery life, and some users may prefer its torch light design.
The Pohopa EF-B210G Speakers are better than the Limitless Innovations TikiTunes. They are two speakers that can be paired with each other, with LED lights that alternate to the beat of your music. They have a slightly better-balanced sound profile and can get louder than the TikiTunes. However, the TikiTunes speaker has better directivity, so audio sounds clear from most angles, making it better suited for those who enjoy listening to podcasts.
The Limitless Innovations TikiTunes is a slightly better speaker than the Theater Solutions B83GR. The TikiTunes has a significantly better battery performance and is more portable. However, the B83GR can get louder than the TikiTunes. That said, both speakers are designed to blend nicely with the outdoors, the TikiTunes is designed to look like torch light and the B83GR is designed to look like a rock.
The Alpine Corporation Solar Bluetooth Rock Speaker is slightly better for outdoor use than the Limitless Innovations TikiTunes. The Alpine Corporation gets louder with less compression at max volume, has a longer battery life, and supports multi-device pairing. Some listeners may prefer its rock-like design, which comes with a built-in solar panel, while others may prefer the torch light style of the TikiTunes. The TikiTunes is also smaller and more portable, and its 360-degree design offers better directivity for its soundstage.
