iHome starts shipping what it describes as its toughest Bluetooth speakers yet-- with 4 Weather Tough models being the first from the company to have an IP67 rating.
The rating means the speakers' chassis is dust-proof and can withstand up to 1m of water for 30 minutes. To further add toughness the speakers also feature military-spec rubberised shock-proof casings. On the internal side, all models feature rechargeable batteries, Bluetooth connectivity and a built-in microphone complete with echo cancellation and answer/end controls.
The first model in the lineup is the iBT37, a triangular mono speaker featuring an 8-hour battery and a quarter-inch tripod mount on the bottom. Following it is the small iBT82, a circular number with a 12-hour lithium-ion battery.
