Tech-Enabled Pool Floats

The SOUNDFLOAT Lets You Listen to Music and Take Calls in the Water

Kickstarter campaign SOUNDFLOAT promises to bring a tech-enabled pool float to consumers by summer 2017.

With 20 watt waterproof speakers and 12 hours of battery life, the SOUNDFLOAT can play music all day, while keeping your device on hand and waterproof. This tech-enabled pool float allows the user to take calls, charge their device or listen to music all while protecting the user's device in an on-board waterproof case. Inspired by the design of the Shelby Cobra, the SOUNDFLOAT is eye-catching and puncture-resistant.

The SOUNDFLOAT is made using thick memory-foam-feel PVC. Available in three styles (an arm chair, a single lounger or a double lounger) and two colorways (Niagara Blue and Pink Yarrow), this tech-enabled pool-float is ideal for active summers. Additionally, the product is equipped with an easy-to-carry handle and easy-to-tuck-away backpack.
