A wireless Bluetooth speaker you can throw in the pool.
Stay tuned.

Hey guys welcome to Bleeding Edge TV.
I'm Andru Edwards from Gearlive.com.
And today, we're taking a look at the Monster Superstar Backfloat.
Now, if you are familiar, Monster released the Monster Superstar about a year ago And
basically a super small wireless Bluetooth speaker.
So you can put in your pocket, take it with you, listen to your music wherever you go.
This year at CES though, they announced the Superstar Backfloat which is a waterproof
portable Bluetooth speaker.
Now, it's not small enough to fit in your pocket, but as you can see the box is pretty
small.
We're gonna open it up right now actually and take a look at the inside.
But the cool thing about it, it's waterproof.
Now on the back of the box here, there is a picture of a woman back floating in a pool
and right next to her is a Superstar Backfloat.
She is not holding on to it or anything.
It's just floating in the pool next to her presumably playing some music.
Let's open this guy up right there and show you what we got in the box.
So, up front, you have got a note from the head Monster, that's Noel Lee Monster Products
CEO.
Basically, thanking you for picking up the Superstar Backfloat and talking about what
it is, what it does, why it sounds so good.
So let me go ahead and pull it out and before we put the box away, lets just make sure.
All right, yep, there we are, a couple of other things in there.
So, I want to make sure we clear it out, that box, before we put it aside.
So you get yourself a little manual.
This right here is a microUSB cable.
This is how you're gonna charge the little guy.
So basically, it is wireless but that means its battery powered and you need a way to
power that battery and you're gonna do that using that micro-USB cable or any micro-USB
cable you have.
It's not a proprietary connector by any means.
This right here is a mesh carrying bag.
So you can take the Superstar Backfloat out, take that guy out, put it in there.
Now carry it around with you.
And finally the star of the show, the Monster Superstar Backfloat speaker, is up now.
As you can see there, small, right?
Now its a little thick, so you are not gonna put that in your pocket.
But as you see here, power button, volume up, volume down, Bluetooth button there.
It has a built-in mic so that you can use it as a speaker phone as well and it floats.
So, it will float in the water and its waterproof so you can be using it and water can be splashing
on it.
You can accidentally spill something on there, no problem, totally fine.
In fact, I'll prove it.
If you are at the pool, listening and water gets on it, it's no big deal.
And I just made a mess to show you that.
Better wipe that up before my wife gets mad at that.
So whether you are using the Backfloat as a shower speaker or portable speaker or waterproof
Bluetooth speaker
that you can toss in the pool its got enough power to start the party and keep it going
for more than 5 hours on a single charge.
It's got two full range drivers plus a frontal passive radiator making it able to fill space
even when it's outdoors with awesome loud sound.
High performance microphone lets you use the Backfloat as a speaker phone.
Splash resistant, it has also got a 3.5mm headphone jack if you wanna listen to the
music that's coming out of it on your headphones.
And that's it.
That was the Monster Superstar Backfloat Wireless Bluetooth speaker.
Waterproof and as we said it floats.
Now Shaquille O'Neal also checked it out, he liked it.
If you are gonna pick one up right now, the Monster Superstar Backfloat sells for 149
dollars.
Check it out on Amazon, MonsterProducts.com or anywhere else where Monster sells there
wares.
That's it for this edition of Bleeding Edge TV.
