I have had and love the Monster speaker but the superstar BackFloat gives you the freedom to enjoy your music in the tub or shower ,pool, hot tub, or just lazing around at the beach , it really does float and the quality of sound is empecable I would recommend this product to everyone I know , its sleek in design and light weight, the price is a little steep but for the quality it offers I'd pay even if it were a little higher at $150 can currency I think its the best out there especially being able to take it with you anywhere including the water
