When Electronics Meet Water, Failure Is Expected

Generally, when an electronic device falls into water, the chances of it working without any issues are extremely rare. Moisture can short-circuit internal components, corrode circuits, and irreversibly damage batteries.

As noted by experts referenced in IEEE Spectrum, even limited water exposure can drastically reduce the lifespan of consumer electronics. This is why water damage is among the most common reasons devices are written off as unusable.

A Beach Discovery Like No Other

Defying this logic, a JBL Bluetooth speaker was reportedly found washed ashore after floating in the ocean for nearly three months. The viral clip shows the speaker lying on the beach, its body heavily encrusted with shells, sea dirt, and marine debris. Tiny insects crawl across its surface, making the scene both unsettling and captivating.

Music That Survived the Waves

The most jaw-dropping moment comes when the speaker is switched on. A smartphone is seen playing music through it, proving that the device is still functional. Even more surreal, the shells stuck to the speaker visibly vibrate in sync with the beats, offering visual proof that the audio output remains strong.

Accidental Advertising in Action 

Many social media users have described the incident as “accidental yet perfect marketing” for JBL. The brand is widely known for manufacturing speakers with water-resistant ratings like IPX7, which are designed to withstand temporary submersion, according to JBL’s official product specifications.
