A Bluetooth Speaker that's also a stand for your smart phone.


Yep, that’s what AudioSource has named their clever little suction cup Bluetooth speaker, the Sound pOp. This little guy is a high quality, portable, water resistant Bluetooth speaker that sounds excellent for its size. The built in suction cup lets you stick it to the back of your phone where it also acts as a study stand. Or you can stick to any smooth surface. It’s water resistant so you could stick it to the bathroom wall to sing in the shower. But I don’t think they recommend placing it under running water. It can also act as a convenient hands-free speakerphone via the built-in mic. The mic is the only thing that falls short on this rugged device. I could hear the calling party great on my SoundpOp, but callers told me I sounded a bit muffled when speaking through the built-in Sound pOp microphone. Pairing it with my Galaxy S4 Bluetooth took about 20 seconds. I do like the sound reproduction of the music I played a lot. This is perfect for travel. It seems rugged enough to throw into a backpack, glove compartment or even a toolbox! It charges via micro USB and a cable is included in the box. Battery life on a full charge is said to be about eight hours. It comes in a variety of colors and sells for under $40.
It's under $38 here: (I have no shopped here)
