This speaker makes a splash
Ecoxbt waterproof Bluetooth speaker by Ecoxgear
$94.91 at Amazon.com
It’ll be beach weather before you know it, and that’s the ideal environment for this rugged rechargeable Bluetooth speaker.
Sheathed in dense black plastic, the Ecoxbt is designed to tolerate sand and seawater. The manufacturer warns that it’s not designed to be submerged. But it’s buoyant, so if you drop it into Boston Harbor, it’ll stay afloat. It takes a few seconds to sync it up with any Bluetooth-equipped phone or laptop. And with a built-in microphone, the Ecoxbt doubles as a speakerphone.
Mind you, the speakers are nothing to write home about. The sound is muddy and undistinguished. But the Ecoxbt’s compact size and tough construction may still appeal to devotees of water sports.
