The Nuu Splash wireless speaker is not scared of your squirt gun

Nuu has thrown yet another Bluetooth speaker into what is becoming a a very crowded pool. But, since this one is water-resistant, maybe it will survive the dive.

Clearly, the new Nuu offers more than just fun with homophones, sporting an aircraft-grade aluminum exterior, a built-in microphone, and a rechargeable battery that is said will crank tunes for ten hours. As for sound quality: we expect it will sound more or less like every other aluminum-clad Bluetooth speaker we’ve ever heard. Hey, did we mention this thing is waterproof…sort of?

The lightweight speaker is capable of withstanding low-pressure water streams, rendering it both spill and tiny squirt-gun proof. Compare it to the JLab Crasher we looked at late last year – it’s a fun, convenient speaker with a little spunk. If you’re in the market for something beefier, check out Polk Audio’s Woodbourne instead.

The Splash is available now for $80 in green, blue, gray, red and black.

LG’s pill-shaped Bluetooth speaker doubles as a soundbar

LG StanbyMe Speaker attached to a StanbyMe TV.

You're looking at the new LG StanbyMe Speaker -- a $200 portable Bluetooth speaker that can be wirelessly linked with the company's StanbyMe display. An included mounting cradle lets you attach the speaker to the display's adjustable stand. You can order the StanbyMe Speaker starting March 7 from LG's U.S. website. LG says that following today's launch in the U.S. and Korea, the speaker is scheduled to be available globally.

Though the StandbyMe Speaker connects via Bluetooth to the StandbyMe display, LG's Wow Orchestra feature manages the connection. This feature sends audio to both the external speaker and the display's internal speakers simultaneously for a more immersive sound. Once linked, the display's remote can control both products, and you can see an on-screen display of the speaker's status.
