Monster has a new floating waterproof speaker that is sure to create a stir around a public pool! Their lightweight SuperStar BackFloat floating speaker plays your favorite tunes while floating in water. Worried it will get splashed? It will. Worried it will get dunked (by curious kids…and adults alike)? It will. But BackFloat still floats and plays your tunes…it’s so cool!
Win one yourself! See below for more details!
While at Mom 2.0 in Scottsdale last month, I couldn’t wait to try out the new BackFloat. I connected it to my phone via Bluetooth and placed the Backfloat floating speaker in the pool. We listened to Fleetwood Mac. I thought the people lying around the pool would be annoyed by the music, but they were more interested in the fact that the speaker could float.
Being the curious type, I submerged the floating speaker in the water while it was playing. The music stopped above the water as well as below. However, once it was atop the water again, it paused for a little bit and the music continued. It was fun to watch the water that collected on the top of the speaker sputter off according to the beat.

A Mom’s Perspective
The Monster SuperStar BackFloat floating speaker is a blast to use in the pool. It’s such a novel idea and yet makes so much sense! Who wants to hear music blaring from the side of the pool when you can have it in the pool with you? It’s such a fascination with the kids, they just love it. It’s just too bad you can’t control your phone from the speaker – like having the ability to skip songs – that would be cool.
I don’t have very young kids anymore, but I’m sure the BackFloat would be great to play some fun kids music while your kids are in the bathtub. Or think about listening to some soothing music while taking a shower? There are so many possibilities.
If you love music and wish you could take it more places with you, the BackFloat is a great lightweight portable speaker you can take anywhere with you —wet or dry. Where would you use the BackFloat floating speaker?
