Light Makes Music
Here’s what we’re selling today:
Now, usually, we fall back on videos when the product is something that requires visual assistance. You need to see it in action to understand what it does.
This is not one of those products. It’s pretty straightforward. What is the Urbanista Malibu 20W Solar Powered Speaker? It’s a speaker… that can be charged with solar power.
But the video does a good job of efficiently highlighting quite a few other features we find impressive.
Two things that stood out to us:
- The fact that it’s fully dustproof and waterproof. Because there’s a difference between a speaker that you can bring to the pool without worrying about a little splash, and a speaker that you can drop into the pool itself. (Not that you should, but it wouldn’t be an issue if it did is the point.)
And…
- The potential to customize the sound to your liking. Generally speaking, I hate an overcomplicated app, but this is actually pretty rad. After all, something we frequently do whenever we sell a speaker or some cheap earbuds here is compile reviews of the sound quality from the Amazon page, mostly to show how subjective it is. For the same product, you’ll get everything from “Amazing!” to “Not bad for the price” to “Sorta weak” to “Terrible!” And seeing this, we can’t help but wonder how much would change if people could set the bass, mid, and treble to their liking.
In conclusion: this is a solar-powered speaker, but also, it is more than a solar-powered speaker.
Get it and be ready for summer.
