With a stature resembling that of a [rolling suitcase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-sound-tower) for carry-on luggage, the EcoBoulder is an outdoor speaker with sound and versatility to match its name and appearance. The speaker, newly released from ECOXGEAR, is great for [outdoor parties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turtlebox-gameday-series) in any environment, replete with rugged features and powerful sound that will outmatch any Bluetooth brick.

The EcoBoulder adheres to the IP67 international waterproof and dustproof standards, meaning that it's 100 percent safe for outdoor use. Beyond being [waterproof, the EcoBoulder actually floats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jbl-grip) when submerged in water, so consumers could swim it out into the middle of a lake and have a floating party without any problems.

In terms of sound, the speaker comes with 100 watts of power that blasts through its three-way speaker system, giving it range, volume and dynamics.
