The Sol Republic Punk's claim to fame is that it plays louder than your typical tiny wireless Bluetooth speaker, with 6 watts of power. It's also water- and shock-resistant and offers 8 hours of battery life, with a 60-foot (18m) wireless range, around double the usual range for Bluetooth devices.

The Sol Republic Punk is an attractively designed micro wireless speaker that's water- and shock-resistant and plays loud for its small size with minimal distortion; It also has decent battery life (8 hours) and offers extended wireless range (up to 60 feet)
