The speaker can float while continuing to play, and the hands-on water test made this a memorable strength. That makes it unusually reassuring for pool and lake use.
Pros: Overall satisfaction, Overall sound quality
Cons: Energy efficiency, Microphone
Float capability was the signature strength, with many reviewers praising upright floating playback and music that remains usable in water.
Pros: Water resistance rating, Float capability
Cons: Distortion at high volume
The ability to float adds extra reassurance around pools despite the speaker’s weight. One reviewer specifically saw it as useful peace of mind for poolside use.
Pros: Overall sound quality, Battery life (if portable)
Cons: Price / value for money, Weight convenience
Float capability has limited evidence, but one reviewer says the speaker floats and can be picked up easily if dropped in water.
Pros: Frequency response balance, Price / value for money
Cons: Distortion at high volume, Backwards compatibility
Float capability was mentioned positively but with a caveat, since WIRED noted that it floats upside down.
Pros: Frequency response balance, Price / value for money
Cons: Microphone, Dust resistance rating
Float capability is a weakness where mentioned, with one reviewer finding it odd that the waterproof silicone speaker does not float.
Pros: Handle or strap quality, Frequency response balance
Cons: Price / value for money, Loudness / maximum volume
Float capability is a repeated weakness: reviewers consistently noted that the speaker sinks or does not float.
Pros: Frequency response balance, LED lighting effects
Cons: Float capability, Handle or strap quality
Despite IP67 water protection, the Muo does not float. That makes pool or deep-water use less reassuring than with floating outdoor speakers.
Pros: Design and aesthetics, Music performance
Cons: Price / value for money, App reliability
