Customer reviews on the SuperStar BackFloat are pretty consistent across the board. Everyone loves the fact that it floats and seem to be happy with the size. The biggest complaint I’ve found is that it’s not loud enough. Especially when used on a lake with a boat or in the hot tub where other sounds are a factor. In a pool or in a quiet room, you’ll have no complaints but if you love to play your music as loud as possible like I do, you might be somewhat disappointed. Keep that in mind when searching bluetooth portable speakers. If you listen to more relaxing music and are looking for a speaker to play during a calm bath or another similar situation the SuperStar BackFloat will fit your needs perfectly!
Summary
With the perfect scenario the SuperStar BackFloat by Monster is an awesome speaker. If you want a relaxing float in your pool with your favorite music, this is perfect. If you love to sing in the shower, look no further for that waterproof singing aid. If you’re looking for something to bring the pool party to life, you’ll want a bit more sound. The design is sleek and the features are awesome. The price is a little high but it is one of the only speakers on the market that floats. It’s made by Monster so you’ve got a big company behind it ready to help with any warranty or return concerns should any issues come about. I could see the SuperStar BackFloat being awesome if you were out kayaking on a calm lake but its not a speaker that will fit every scenario you put it in.
