Crisp, deep, room-filling HiFi sound you take anywhere. Fully charged, it’ll play music for 24 hours
Often times backers are concerned when and if they would ever get their products that they pledged for but we can assure you that we have taken the time to develop this right. This is our Second project and second campaign on Indiegogo.

Buoy produces multi-dimensional, precise sound by replicating the techniques used on $1,000+ audio systems that control distortion of the music through hardware instead of software. – exactly the opposite of the typically muffled and tiny tones most smartphone speakers emit. Don’t let the size fool you.
“Amazing. Incredible. It’s so crisp. I want it! A big sound in a little box.”
~John “Nemo” Nemerovski – MyMac Reviews Editor
“ Nothing sounds better than BUOY in this price class. The soul shaking bass and room filling sound is simply nothing short of amazing. This Buoy is Loud! If you are in the market for a wireless speaker that delivers across the board, the Buoy is for you.” ~Ani Ray Prototype tester
But like your smartphone, Buoy travels well: in the park, on the road, the beach, the pool even the shower – the Buoy goes where you do. And if you want to leave your smartphone behind, Buoy can play your favourite tunes as an MP3 from a micro SD card and there is never a need for an SD card reader. Manage media on micro SD card when speaker is powered OFF and connected to your computer via Micro USB cable. Buoy will play from all files and folders on the SD card in an alphabetical order.
So how does Buoy actually sound? In a word: Awesome.

This allowed us to pump out incredible 360º sound in true stereo for precise multi-dimensional sound reproduction all in a beautiful package that fits in your hand and budget.
For the Buoy to be truly portable and go anywhere it had to be packaged in a highly protective housing with an integrated rechargeable battery to keep the party going for 24 straight hours at full volume! The housing is sealed in an IPX 7 waterproof and sand proof cabinet and for shockproof and versatility, we wrapped it in high-grade silicone sleeve.
The most memorable beachside gatherings and camping trips are the ones where the music never stops. With IPX 7, Buoy rugged exterior defends against water, sand and drops. It has the ability to float in water so don’t be afraid to take it to the water just be sure the interface door is sealed.

Raise the standard of sound quality and keep the tunes pumping rain or shine with Buoy. Compatible with any and every Bluetooth enabled device, this speaker is loaded with technology to provide true 360-degree sound. Inside the Buoy Speaker are two full range high quality drivers with neodymium magnets and a passive subwoofer to produce powerful bass and natural audio to fill the room. Buoy produces deep base at a remarkable volume.
As it’s wireless, you can bring this crisp and pristine sound wherever you want. The iconic Buoy shape is sleek and bold yet inconspicuous, enhancing any environment. Its modern look is only outdone with the its amazing sound.
Buoy offers convenience, portability, Big Volume and outstanding bass with no distortion in a compact, grab and go convenience and all neatly in this beautiful package that fits in your hand and budget.
Buoy is not just about flexibility; it was built to deliver superior sound.
Two speaker drivers and a passive radiator come together to deliver a new dimension to your audio and music.
Regular portable speakers have average sound power, but poor bass, and regular home speaker systems have good sound power, but are not portable.
Most speakers also tend to have big, obtrusive, in-your-face logos and branding. It is like you paid them then they advertise on your purchase. Enough, we said and so Buoy and Big Buoy will show the brand and certification on the bottom of the speaker and not anywhere else where it distracts from the speaker great looks.
