@slipperyp I like it, but was expecting her to be considering her lot in life as she lay on the lounger in her downsized (only Olympic size) pool. Lost opportunity, @Dave.
@robson Heck a 4-star review sounds pretty dubious: âLove this floatie but we lost the top on the battery and control and so far the seller hasnât responded to my inquiry for replacement. Also, burned my phone screen up in the waterproof pouch! Gets super hot!â
Not exactly a ringing endorsement there.
5 star reviews sound a bit bogus. âNest pool float on earth.â âwould recommend this to all the viewersâ âBlue tooth works great with my iPod touch.â
Ok, so maybe English isnât their first language. I have to wonder how many people still used an iPod Touch in 2018, and whoâd be impressed that it could pair with a set of Bluetooth speakers?
@Kyser_Soze@moofi Unless the concern is you donât want your neighbors to hear youâre listening to âB*tch better have my moneyâ (explicit) while your young kids are swimming.
It is sad there are so many neat ideas, but no one seems to be able to make one that actually works! This musical floaty things seems to be another one.
@CosmicTwister@medz Speaking as an inflatable wolfâŚyes, the included patch kits are almost universally garbage. They arenât waterproof at all, and sometimes donât even stick while dry!
(I can give proper inflatable repair advice if solicited.)
I want to like this so much, being that itâs both inflatable and electronic, but itâs so impractical in multiple ways that for the price I have to pass. As has been mentioned already, the speakers face away from the user, so unless you want to broadcast your tunes to the rest of the pool deck, youâre not going to hear much. Iâd also be concerned about my phone overheating inside the sealed pouch when left in direct sunlight, as one reviewer mentioned. Though on the plus side it looks comfy, comes with a nice carrying bag and pump, and due to its size, $5 shipping is a good deal. I just canât justify it on my current shoestring budget.
What a great device to take to the beach! Didja hear about the woman who was using a paddle board who got blown out to sea in New England, and she was saved by calling 911 using her Apple Watch? Think about it - she could have enjoyed the day (and night) drifting out at sea with that 10k battery rather than having to call for help immediately!

Does it work with blueteeth?
@yakkoTDI If you drink a blue slushie by the pool you mean?

Looks a bit much for my bathtub.
/giphy you need a bigger bathtub
@haydesigner I LOVE ELLIE KEMPER!
Mehsterpiece theater sounds like a soap opera. Is that what people listen to floating in the pool?
Lots of 1 star amazon reviews, so sadly frequent for meh offerings these daysâŚ

Tempted just because of how unnecessary it is but I think Iâll pass.
Just got my pool ready for the season & I need a new lounge, but the speakers point away from the listener, seems like a poor design.
@Kyser_Soze speakers are plenty loud. Wouldnât be concerned there.
@Kyser_Soze @moofi Unless the concern is you donât want your neighbors to hear youâre listening to âB*tch better have my moneyâ (explicit) while your young kids are swimming.
@Kyser_Soze @medz @moofi
/youtube better have my money (explicit)
@Kyser_Soze @medz @moofi Oh my, spoiler alert NSFW
@Kyser_Soze @medz that sounds like a you problem and not a SoundFloat problem⌠You need better neighbors that appreciate fine music.
/youtube better have my money quartet
nah, this one
Lol sold 12. Itâs not the most meh ever but itâs close. Granted nothings been sold that is worth it with shipping in well over a year
It is sad there are so many neat ideas, but no one seems to be able to make one that actually works! This musical floaty things seems to be another one.
Does it come with a patch kit?
No.
Pass
@CosmicTwister yeah, because the patch kits that come with those things ALWAYS work SO great.
/giphy eye roll
@CosmicTwister @medz BEWBS!
@mgstark good catch
@CosmicTwister thatâs the deal breaker? thereâs a 6 pack of float patches for $3.99 on Amazon
@CosmicTwister @frisbelly Oh, look at Mr Rockefeller buying extra patches!
psst: I think the OP was just being snarky.

How thick is the wall of the float? How many mils??
@Trinityscrew Donât know the mils but itâs pretty thick. Itâs not like one of the cheap see-thru floats. Seems overbuilt if you ask me.
Interesting choice of font, makes the product name look like âSOUNDFLORT.â
@curtw4 so youâre saying this is in fact NOT a soundflort? cancel my order!
@curtw4 @frisbelly With a name like SOUNDFLORT it has to be good!
69? Donât mind if I do.
