LAS VEGAS -- The Fugoo Bluetooth speaker rocks a unique design that aims to please everyone from the outdoor enthusiast to the average Joe. It packs six drivers -- two tweeters, two midwoofers, and two passive radiators -- on all four of its sides, enabling 360-degree sound.

Core speaker
The core speaker isn't highly visible when inside a cover, but taking off the jacket reveals the sturdy, all-black body. For a device that can withstand a 5.5-foot drop, it's pretty darn light.

Fugoo Tough
Fugoo states that its toughest case is "virtually indestructible." Sounds like a Torture Test challenge to me!

Bluetooth remote
Fugoo also offers a wearable Bluetooth remote that's sold separately. Like the speaker, it's waterproof.

Bottle opener
Not only does the Fugoo Bluetooth remote work with Siri and Google Now, it has a bottle opener on the back. It's almost like this speaker is begging to party in a pool with you.
