No Cellphone Can Match My #EverythingProof #Speaker

I held my breath as the #EverythingProof speaker was dropped into the water. My jaw dropped as I watch the video. Imagine, the abuse that it went through, as it was being demonstrated like it was in a warzone, just to show how durable it is - waterproof, shockproof, dustproof, and even snowproof, hence it is called #EverythingProof.



I just had to have one! As the top of the line which is the Life Jacket is large for my everyday use, though I want that for my next mountain trek, I got the H2O to bring along wherever I go.

The H2O speaker has the sound coming from the front and the back, giving me that so much needed bass. It's wireless and even if my cell is far away, I still can listen to my music. And, it's a no worry speaker, with the sound quality that I want, as it's made by Altec Lansing, the company that was founded by the one who established JBL.

#EverythingProof For Indoor and Outdoor Use

I bake and cook a lot. I have to wash my hands and some things like pots and pans while doing so. Baking means that there is flour on my hands sometimes, and batter that does splatter. I have a work table and I like to prepare what I will make while listening to music.

And, with the H2O, I can place it in my work space, bring it to the kitchen, and then, and hold it even if my hands are wet or with flour. I don't have to be extra careful, as I just can place it nearly anywhere.

So I bring it to the bathroom of my parents to make it float in the tub, and then, when I was done with my bath, I stepped into the living room, my youngest daughter spotted the H2O.

"Hey, Mom, you have new speakers! May I borrow it?" Hmm... She already has earphones, wireless headphones, and a wireless speaker but since it was a new thing, and for sure she can't break it, I said okay, and she went off to see her friends, and when she got home, she said her friends loved it and dropped it into the pool to see it float!

My daughter, Allison, with the H2O

And, now that my other girls know about the speaker, I am pretty sure that during the next beach trip, one of them will borrow it, so I plan to give them an H2O each, soon.

Disadvantage

I would like to say that there are many advantages to owning an #EverythingProof speaker and would like to point out that the only disadvantage I found is that the cellphone that has the same rugged durability has not yet been made!
