Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and these condensed notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates, but management does not believe such differences will materially affect the financial position or results of operations of Cool Holdings, Inc., formerly known as InfoSonics Corporation (the “Company”), although they may. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and condensed notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year.

(“Cooltech”), and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, InfoSonics Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), Cooltech merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Cooltech surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As discussed in Note 22, because of the change of control that resulted from the Merger, it was treated as a reverse merger with Cooltech deemed to be acquiring InfoSonics for accounting purposes. Therefore, the Company’s historical financial statements prior to the Merger reflect those of Cooltech, except for the legal capital of Cooltech which is retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal capital of InfoSonics.

On May 16, 2018, the Center for Audit Quality in the United States categorized Argentina as a country with a projected three-year cumulative inflation rate greater than 100%.

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and these condensed notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates, but management does not believe such differences will materially affect the financial position or results of operations of Cool Holdings, Inc., formerly known as InfoSonics Corporation (the “Company”), although they may. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and condensed notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year.

On March 12, 2018, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Cooltech Holding Corp. (“Cooltech”), and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, InfoSonics Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), Cooltech merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Cooltech surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As discussed in Note 22, because of the change of control that resulted from the Merger, it was treated as a reverse merger with Cooltech deemed to be acquiring InfoSonics for accounting purposes. Therefore, the Company’s historical financial statements prior to the Merger reflect those of Cooltech, except for the legal capital of Cooltech which is retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal capital of InfoSonics.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include assets, liabilities and operating results of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to fairly present the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows as of September 30, 2018 and for all periods presented. The results reported in these consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results, financial condition or cash flows that may be expected for the full fiscal year of 2018 or for any future period.

At September 30, 2018, six of the Company’s seventeen OneClick retail stores were located in Argentina.
