CES: Scosche launches waterproof boomBOTTLE +
Scosche (www.scosche.com) has introduced a new member to the boomBOTTLE family: the boomBOTTLE + (plus), a portable Bluetooth speaker designed for streaming music while biking, hiking, camping and more.
The weatherproof, two 55mm driver equipped speaker features an IP67 rating (water and dust proof), dual pairing that produces true stereo sound when two boomBOTTLE + speakers are used and up to 11 hours of streaming. This speaker will be included in Scosche’s expanding Optimized for OUTDOORS series of rugged products designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments.
It features a shock absorbing TPU exterior designed to withstand drops or vibrations caused from rough terrain, plus non-slip side finger grip areas. The boomBOTTLE + is constructed with sealed dustproof speaker grills to keep the dirt out during backcountry rides. It also fits into most bicycle bottle cages, so you can take it with you while on the trail.
A Bluetooth wireless range of 33 feet eliminates the need for wires, and the large rubberized front buttons are designed to make it easy to skip tracks and adjust volume even when your smartphone or tablet is tucked away.
The boomBOTTLE + will be available in black/gold, white/silver black/space gray, white/gold to perfectly match Apple’s new line of iOS products plus several sporty color combinations. The speaker will be available the second quarter at a manufacturer's suggested retail price of US$179.99.
