As much as you appreciate your friend's a cappella take on "Drunk in Love," you'd much rather listen to Beyonce belt it out. Here to solve the summer predicament of playing tunes in a splash zone, Urban Outfitters sells a portable, water-repellent speaker from Boom that pairs wirelessly to a smart phone or tablet for stress-free poolside audio. At $60 it certainly beats replacing an iPhone that went for a swim.
