Spring has sprung and in many parts of the country and before you know it the heat will be sweltering and many of us will be heading to the pool to hand out and have fun. One key ingredient of a pool party is music (and babes in bikinis), the catch is that water and most electronic devices don’t get along.

Grace Digital Audio has announced a new floating wireless speaker called the Aqua sounders retailing for $149.99. The speaker floats around the pool or hot tub and has a pair of mood lights integrated for nighttime fun.

The submersible speaker is only part of the kit; a transmitter is included that sends music from any audio source with a 3.5mm jack to the speaker. Range is 150 feet from the transmitter and the battery inside the speaker is good for six hours. One transmitter can support up to ten speakers. You will need a really big pool for that many speakers though.

Wireless Speakers iPod Dock

Here’s something a bit more useful from Hammacher today, a dock that lets you leave your iPod but take the speakers with you. Those wireless, 2-3/4-inch 3-watt spherical speakers operate on a wide 915 MHz frequency to ensure there’s minimal interference from other wireless devices, and they’ve got a half-decent range of about 120 feet. Each speaker is powered by a rechargeable battery that’s good for about 8 hours of playback, and when used together they operate in stereo mode, or old-timey mono when separated.

The dock itself accepts most iPod models, but also has a 3.5mm audio jack for connecting pretty much any other audio source as long as you’ve got the right cabling. $149.95 on the Hammacher Schlemmer website.

iDuck Wireless Aquatic Speaker

There are plenty of options for listening to music in the bath, but as far as I know none of them are duck shaped besides this one. And impressively, that’s not the only upside to the iDuck waterproof speaker system. It includes a wireless transmitter shaped like an egg that can connect to any audio source through a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can take your music collection with you into the warm naked bubbly wetness with a minimum of hassle. Not enough features? Okay, how ’bout this: it also glows! In four colors! Wowzees!

The iDuck runs on a total of 7 AAA batteries, and costs about $40.
