A speaker that floats, survives rain or poolside splashes, and fits in your pocket? That’s the promise of a newly released Bluetooth audio device designed for portability without compromise. Weighing just 250 grams and measuring 168 x 97 x 43 mm, it combines a minimal footprint with a rugged build, making it a standout for those who prioritize durability over bulk.
The speaker packs a 2,000 mAh battery capable of 10 hours of continuous playback at moderate volume—a practical window for a full day’s outdoor use. Its IP67 rating means it can handle being submerged up to one meter deep for 30 minutes, effectively future-proofing it against accidental drops or water exposure.
At the core is a dual-driver setup delivering 12 watts of output, balanced between bass and treble. While not industry-leading in power, the tuning aims to avoid distortion at typical listening levels, which suits its intended use case: casual outdoor listening rather than high-fidelity home audio.
That’s the upside—here’s the catch. The speaker lacks a built-in microphone for calls or voice assistants, limiting smart features. It also relies on a single USB-C port for both charging and data transfer, which may feel restrictive if you plan to use it as a mobile power bank or tethered storage device in the future.
Pricing is set at $129, but current promotions bring it down to $64—nearly half off. Stock appears limited, with pre-orders opening on July 1 and general availability scheduled for July 15. Whether this speaker will be restocked beyond the initial launch remains unclear, so early movers may face supply constraints.
For power users weighing upgrade options, the key question is timing: Will this speaker’s combination of size, battery life, and waterproofing justify replacing a larger, more feature-rich model in your gear? If you’re looking for something to toss in a backpack or float on a lake without worrying about damage, it checks most boxes—but expect no advanced connectivity beyond Bluetooth.
