Banana Boat Bluetooth Speaker
- The good news: it’s a water-resistant Bluetooth speaker that it sounds really good because it’s so big
- The bad news: it’s made to float but reviewers say it’s not that waterproof
- The worse news: a floating speaker was a dumb idea to begin with
- The best news: that price tho
- Model: BBOSPKR100
Two wrongs make the price right.
How can you salvage a bad idea? Bad execution.
The Banana Boat people thought “Hey, we’ve got this suntan lotion thing down, let’s expand into consumer electronics.” Somebody came up with the idea of a Bluetooth speaker that would float around your pool, combining the inconvenience of chasing a thing around in the water with the irritating sonic effects of a speaker that is constantly moving. Bad idea.
Breezing right past the question “who would want this?”, they proceeded to produce a floating speaker that, judging by the Amazon reviews, does not seem to be really entirely all that completely quote-waterproof-unquote. Bad execution.
Along the way, though, what they came up with was a mostly water resistant speaker much bigger than most rechargeable Bluetooth speakers out there - a big six spherical inches. And bigger speakers means better sound. Hmmm. Because this was marketed as a product that nobody want (a floating speaker), nobody bought it at full price. So we got ahold of it for a mere pittance. And you can enjoy the biggest and best-sounding $10 Bluetooth speaker of all time (another fact you can confirm by browsing Amazon). Salvation.
And the most water resistant. And it runs for five hours on a charge. So it’s the ultimate speaker for those who like very long, very wet showers. Or the ultimate poolside speaker for those who enjoy doing a very splashy cannonball. Or just a big round ball of Bluetooth sound, wet or dry.
Some journey it took to bring this here, huh? The floating speaker bad idea. The suntan lotion branding. The half-assed waterproofing. The misguided marketing. The disappointed customers. The nasty Amazon reviews. The huge unsold overstock. The existence of a site that butters its bread with exactly this kind of white elephant. And your good taste in visiting here today. All of it converging to produces this moment. Deal in the sky keep on turning.
Bad idea. Bad execution. Good deal. This speaker isn’t just a ball. It’s the circle of crap made flesh.
