Have you ever put your smartphone in a glass or mug to amplify its speaker’s volume and sound? I have, and I just tested a speaker that utilizes that very idea. Three Norwegian friends ran with it and came up with the Sodapop Bluetooth speaker. It’s unlike any other speaker I’ve seen, featuring a screw-on design and a plastic bottle which makes the speaker much louder and delivers better bass.
While I found the bass to be hit-or-miss in my testing as it varied from song to song, I did find the vocals to be clear and detailed. The Sodapop’s also got a long battery life and it’s extremely portable, but it’s let down by its IPX5 rating which makes it less waterproof than most of its rivals.
