Enjoy the brand's signature sound quality outdoors.
Founded in 1979 by Noel Lee, an engineer and musician, Monster captivated AV enthusiasts and musicians worldwide as a cable manufacturer. In 2008, they ventured into the headphone market. The in-ear speaker "turbine" immediately garnered attention as a masterpiece that impressed many music fans.
Leveraging the audio technology gained from manufacturing cables and headphones, the wireless speaker "SUPERSTAR BACKFLOAT" allows you to enjoy sound quality that carries the brand's DNA, even outdoors. It boasts a waterproof design equivalent to IPX6 standards.
Its silicone cover prevents water ingress and offers excellent durability, making it suitable for use anywhere, indoors or out. Designed to float, it can add a fun element to your bath time at home. Furthermore, this summer, you can immerse yourself in music by the pool or beach, with the speaker floating alongside you.
It also features "aptX" to resolve audio quality issues during Bluetooth® transmission, delivering high-quality wireless sound. Two full-range drivers reproduce clear and powerful audio.
