Product Review - The Hype about Hipe

Hipe IVA-400

Waterproof Bluetooth Shower Speaker


Retail: $99.99

What's all the hype about Hipe?  Well this lightweight, hanging, Bluetooth, waterproof, speaker packs some powerful sound!  It's easy-to-use and pairs up flawlessly with your devices.  I love the hanging capability vs some other waterproof Bluetooth speakers that you have to set down.  It's waterproof to IPx6 (sprayed water) so it's NOT submersible!

But don't let the fact that this is a shower speaker fool you into thinking that this is just for shower use!  It makes a great travel speaker for activities you enjoy outdoors... Take it on hikes, bike rides, walks, the beach, the pool, the park, BBQ's... possibilities are endless!

The sound quality is wonderful and even the incoming phone calls come in clear.  You can adjust the volume on your paired device and directly on the speaker itself!  The buttons on the control panel allow you to toggle songs, pause, answer the phone, adjust the volume and link Bluetooth to your devices.

Hipe features a Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery that is reported to last 25 hours on a full charge... which takes about 4 hours to charge from empty to full.  The LED indicator will turn green when charged.

So, if I could add one thing it would be some kind of screen to show you who is calling and the names of the songs you're toggling through - other than that, it's perfect!
