I have tried several "waterproof" bluetooth speaker in an attempt to find the perfect one. I have tried the Malektronic Rocket speaker which I did not like at all as the sound was muffled and totally missing the lower end. The Sinoband S400S which had great build quality but again sounded muffled and unnatural to me. The NYNE Multimedia Aqua Floatable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker which sounded better than the previous two (when not submerged) but was overpriced. And finally the Anker splashproof speaker which, like all anker products, was very well built but the sound was very very tiny. Now introduce Monster which is simply the best of all of them when it comes to sound quality.
I have been using this speaker in the shower everyday for a little over two weeks and am very happy with it's performance. When it comes to waterproof bluetooth speakers the sound is almost always compromised but this speaker is very impressive. When coming to it's brother non-waterproof version the
Monster Power Superstar High Definition Bluetooth Speaker (Black/Grey)
that speaker is most certainly much louder and a bit harsher on the ears. This speaker doesn't get near as loud which doesn't bother me and sounds much smoother. The lower end and bass are present but not overwhelming and the sound is very balanced. No shrill or overly bright highs just a very natural sound. And best of all is the clarity! The sound is super clear and does not sound muffled at all which has been my persistent issue with waterproof speakers.
The speaker comes nicely packaged in a sturdy box with a micro usb charging cable and mesh carrying case. The speaker is mostly plastic which could be a deal breaker for some as I wouldn't put this through a drop test. The speaker is encased in a tight rubber case which is removable and keeps water from the speaker when floating it. The instructions say to remove the backing after each use and wipe down the speaker to remove any water however I have found that it fits so tightly no water really get in. The speaker is very lightweight (so that it floats). In the weeks I have been using it it has gotten plenty of water exposure (on the front as well) and there has been no problems and no deterioration of sound quality. Pairing was very easy and I have had no problems with connection to my ipod.
Overall this speaker is priced above all other bluetooth speaker I've tried but if sound quality is very important to you I believe it's worth the money. 5 stars

We’ve also floated it around in the hut tub and it isn’t a time machine but works great.
The battery could last longer in my mind. It doesn’t last a full evening but we stay up late so not surprised it doesn’t keep up.
The sound is great and is enough to be told ‘turn it down’!
