Aquio is a water bottle that’s a surprisingly good speaker

Thirsty for music? This water bottle doubles as a wireless speaker

Aquio is a new BPA double-wall stainless-steel bottle, which comes with an integrated, modular waterproof Bluetooth speaker that is sure to be on the wish-list of hikers, runners and anyone else who likes to have music on the move.

After all, what are the two most important things you need while working out?

If you said ‘motivation’ and ‘the energy to get off the sofa’, you’d be correct. However, we are pretty sure that ‘music’ and ‘hydration’ aren’t too far down the list.

The 16oz double-wall stainless steel bottle, which keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours or hot for up to 14 hours, comes in four colors and Aquio promises that the detachable speaker is waterproof and sandproof and weather resistant.

The powerful 5 watt RMS speaker is fully removable, which means the days of bringing your jukebox to impromptu break dance challenges are dead.

The speaker also packs in digital echo cancellation for speakerphone use, and provides audio caller ID.

This is the ideal accompaniment for that, as well as yoga in the park, a run on the beach and a whole host of other activities where you need both music and a drink.

The Aquio, which is an iHome product, will be available in black, seafoam, blush and Merlot (which is coincidental, one of the things we will be putting in ours). It will be available at aquiobottles.com for $69.99 starting July 1st.
