Overview

The Monoprice Deep Blue Sub75 is a compact, portable Bluetooth speaker built for environments where water, dust, and rough handling are part of the equation. Its IPX7 waterproof rating means it can survive full submersion in up to 3 feet of water for 30 minutes — well beyond splash resistance — making it a practical choice for pool days, beach trips, kayaking, and shower listening. The included carabiner clip adds a convenient attachment point, letting you hook the speaker onto a backpack, bike, or belt loop without needing a separate case or mount.

Audio performance centers on a built-in passive radiator, a secondary diaphragm that reinforces low-frequency output without requiring an additional powered driver. The result is a bass response that sounds fuller and deeper than the speaker's small footprint might suggest, complemented by clear highs for balanced sound across music genres. Bluetooth connectivity pairs the Sub75 with smartphones, tablets, and laptops, keeping the setup wireless and simple. For an affordable, go-anywhere speaker that doesn't shy away from water, the Sub75 covers the essentials.
