    Review – Mini-Bullets Waterproof Wireless Speakers

    Sometimes people around you don’t want to hear your music. Other times though, having a way to share with the crowd can make you a rock star. For those times, the Mini-Bullets Wireless Speakers can come in handy.

    To start, the fact they are waterproof means you don’t have to worry about the waves at the beach or a splashes at the pool. You can even dance in the rain without the speakers fizzling out.

    Other features include -

    • Go Anywhere – indoors or out – with no wires attached
    • Use with your Stereo system, MP3 player, CD player, Computer or Television
    • Splash-resistant weatherproof speakers can be left out in the rain or used by the pool
    • Speakers can be powered with batteries for the ultimate portability or included power adaptors
    • Small lightweight speakers can go anywhere
    • Works up to 150 ft. away

    We like these little power houses.  The sound was good for the size of speaker.  It’s not going to blow you away with the bass response but no speaker this size will.  Battery life was adequate and they worked seamlessly with our mp3 equipped phone.
