Best Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers for the Beach

A powerful postmodern Boombox

When sun and sand are on the agenda, music should be, too! The JBL Lifestyle Boombox 3 speaker delivers an upscale sound that’s perfect for the beach and features triaxial speakers for boosted bass, defined midrange, and sparkling trebles. The Boombox 3’s size makes it easy to keep tabs on it in wide open spaces, and a rugged metal carrying handle makes it a breeze to transport, even when you’ve got towels, sunscreen, and snacks to manage (the handle can also be tethered to a bag or cooler). What’s more, the Boombox 3’s massive battery life delivers up to 24 hours of use per charge, and the speaker can sync with other speakers via the JBL Portable app. Check it out in black or Squad camo.

Best Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers for the Outdoors

Bold, backpack-friendly sound 

For those who fearlessly charge into the great outdoors but also like having an adventure-ready soundtrack at their side, the JBL Lifestyle Charge 5 speaker offers the right blend of power, portability, and protection. The Charge 5’s minuscule footprint easily slides into day bags, making it perfect for daytime picnics, the park, or even boating trips since its IP67-rated build is waterproof! And while it may be portable, the Charge 5 has a massive sound. A coaxial driver and tweeter guarantee hefty bass and top-end clarity that brings lyrics and vocals to life. Moreover, the Charge 5 supplies up to 20 hours of juice per charge and can charge your mobile USB devices while on the go. Check it out in black, blue, gray, red, or Squad camo.

Best Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers

Discreet looks with smart PositionIQ sound 

The compact, waterproof Bose SoundLink Flex speaker leads the pack when portability is a top priority. The SoundLink Flex is classy, discreet, and easily converts from an outdoor accessory to an indoor essential without ruining the feng shui with a busy look. A built-in utility loop lets you lash it to belt loops, backpacks, luggage, and more for hands-free transportation and use. Once you embark, the SoundLink Flex delivers outstanding mobile performance and premium features that ooze Bose quality. Highlights include a 12-hour battery life, a USB-C charging port, a speakerphone mode for taking calls, and app connectivity for command and control or for syncing multiple speakers. And the best part? Integrated PositionIQ technology automatically adapts to suit the speaker’s spatial orientation at any given time. PositionIQ technology improves your listening experience and wards off pesky bass-induced speaker movement that’s common among high-output portable Bluetooth speakers. Check it out in black, Cypress Green, and Stone Blue.

Best Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers for Patio Parties

Vibes for any patio

Is that smoke coming from the grill, or are the tunes just fire?! A handheld waterproof Bluetooth speaker is ideal for visceral outdoor sound that won’t disturb the neighbors. Two patio picks that fit the bill are the JBL Lifestyle Flip 6 speaker and the Bose SoundLink Micro speaker. Both boast rugged IP67-rated waterproof construction, support for advanced smartphone controls, and optional pairing with compatible speakers for louder, more immersive playback in stereo. Available in White Smoke or Stone Blue, the Bose SoundLink Micro’s slightly smaller footprint makes this our recommendation for high-density housing such as townhouses and apartments. Available in black or red, the Flip 6’s extra muscle is perfect for suburban castles with private yards and lots of space.

Best Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers for the Shower

Add a sound bath to your shower

Scrub-a-dub dubstep in the tub? That’s totally an option with the JBL Lifestyle Clip 4 speaker! This waterproof cutie can queue up a stream of steady beats while you wash, rinse, and repeat. The Clip 4’s built-in carabiner clip empowers versatile placement — even in the shower. And with its IP67 waterproof certification, you can clip this speaker to shower accessories like a curtain rod or shower caddy. That elevated positioning enhances the Clip 4’s sound dispersal and highlights sonic details. Plus, this speaker even floats, which means it can double as a source of bath-time entertainment aid for those with kiddos. With black, blue, gray, red, Squad camo, Forest Green, and Ocean Blue options to choose from, the Lifestyle Clip 4 can gel with any decor.

Not keen on the Clip 4? Check out the similar performance and more discreet look of the JBL Lifestyle Go 3 speaker.
