Monster SuperStar BackFloat-A Bluetooth speaker that doesn't offer up much
SUMMARYMonster's SuperStar BackFloat offers a unique and water-friendly twist on your average Bluetooth speaker, but the results sink it. The inconsistent sound performance across genres, average battery life and high price prove that you should look elsewhere.

Design
Being the waterproof floatation device that it is, you'd think that the Monster SuperStar BackFloat would be shaped like a lifesaver or a neon pool toy. Thankfully, that's not the case. The speaker is small, easy enough to grip with one hand and is simple, yet confident in its design.
PerformanceIt's tough to sort out what the biggest selling point of Monster's SuperStar BackFloat is, and that's mostly because it does most of what it sets out to do quite well. The speaker has an appealing design, it floats in water like a champ - but it can do more than that.
At LastWhat the Monster SuperStar BackFloat does best is in the name. It floats in water on its back and plays your tunes. Other than that admittedly cool ability, this Bluetooth speaker doesn't offer up much in the way of game-changing features.
