Monster is hoping to float your boat with a brand-new outdoor speaker. If you’re wondering what makes the SuperStar BackFloat different than the many other outdoor speakers on the market, it’s that this one is floatable, portable and has Bluetooth support.
It’s the speaker designed for all of your water activities. That may mean your occasional trip to the beach or the pool. Maybe it’s just for the times when you need to take a long soak in the tub. Yes, this thing is like a tub toy for grown-ups. It’s not content to sit next to the tub propped up on the bathroom sink, but it can actually be submerged in it.
Of course, you won’t have to go under to get the sound. The SuperStar BackFloat actually floats. It also packs in proprietary Pure Monster Sound, so you can get immersive audio from a variety of different devices. It has a 3.5mm aux out, if you want to tether it to an external source. However, Bluetooth support means that you can wirelessly stream music from any of your favorite portables, including smartphones, tablets and laptops. It even has a built-in mic, in case you need to take a quick poolside conference call.
“With the tremendous popularity of smartphones and other portable music solutions, the year over year sales growth in portable wireless speakers is 200 percent in units sold,” said Monster’s Noel Lee. “With SuperStar BackFloat, anyone’s musical universe can be expanded to the shower, pool or beach.”
There’s no word on when the SuperStar BackFloat will make its maiden voyage. However, when it does, you can expect the speaker to be priced at $169.
