Going on vacation and thinking of picking up the best waterproof speaker you can buy in 2021?
My video got you guys covered. The best waterproof Bluetooth
speakers can go absolutely anywhere without fear: whether you're going to the beach or
just want something that can survive a coffee spill or a burst of rain, they're made to
keep water out no matter where it comes from. in this video, we will take a look at what I
think are the best waterproof speakers of 2021. To see the most up-to-date prices and find out
more information about these speakers, you can check out the links in the description below.
Before I start listing, please let me know down below in the comments,
Was there a time when you were quite impressed by the water resistance of a product?
Hitting it off, with the Best All-Rounder, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2
The UE Wonderboom 2 features a slightly tweaked design, better bass response,
longer battery life, and Outdoor Boost make it an even better companion when you're outdoors.
Its ruggedness, sound quality, and features solidify the Wonderboom 2 as one of the best
portable waterproof speakers you can buy. If you're familiar with the original Ultimate
Ears WONDERBOOM, you'll feel at home with the WONDERBOOM 2. Its design is nearly identical
save for the updated elastic loop and the "outdoor boost" button located on the bottom panel.
Just like before, this tapered cylinder floats, meaning music can emanate from the middle of your
pool party. It houses two 40mm drivers and two passive radiators, which is enough to make waves.
This nifty little speaker is also impressively durable. It's waterproof,
and it can tolerate being dunked fully underwater for 30 minutes (though since it floats, this would
likely never happen). The Wonderboom 2 can also survive a 5-foot fall.
The Wonderboom produces a surprisingly full sound for a small speaker,
with good bass and treble. It offers a bit more bass than the first-generation model. It's one of
the best-sounding portable speakers you'll find. UE says the Wonderboom 2 will play for 13
hours on a full charge. Next, we have,
The Best Mini speaker, the Sony SRS-XB13 The Sony SRS-XB13 is a small, lightweight
but hardy speaker meant for outdoor use. With a surprisingly loud sound from a small form factor,
an extra kick in the lower frequencies, and an exceptionally long battery life,
this speaker is just right for its intended use. Available in black, dark blue, light blue, pink,
or taupe, the cylindrical SRS-XB13 measures approximately 3.8 inches wide all around and
weighs in at roughly 9 ounces. The upward-firing 46mm driver delivers a frequency range of 20Hz
to 20kHz. It has some respectable thump, but the SRS-XB13 is all about portability and durability.
The base of the speaker has rubber footing, ostensibly to prevent movement due to vibrations.
Thanks to being IP67 rated, it's largely immune to water and dust,
which means it should be able to take a fair amount of exposure to the elements,
and you can even rinse it under a flowing tap or submerge it in water for short periods of time.
In terms of sound quality, the SRS-XB13 is far better balanced than it was in years past.
There's a focus on the mid-range that makes vocals very easy to hear, and a decent wallop
of bass for a speaker of its size. The new balanced sound quality makes most genres
of music sound significantly better, especially rock and alternative. Admittedly, the new Sound
Diffusion Processor makes a huge difference to help distribute the sound in a 360-degree radius.
Run time from the battery is claimed to be 16 hours.
Next, Best for Parties we have, the JBL Boombox 2 The JBL Boombox 2 is JBL's second take on the
portable speakers that became cultural status symbols in urban areas during the 1980s
and 1990s. It comes three years after the company's first Boombox and is an
update rather than a reimagining, retaining the same structural design while incorporating most
of the features found in the original. Available in black or camouflage models,
the 10.1-by-19.1-by-7.9-inch (HWD), 13-pound Boombox 2 isn't the kind of portable speaker
you can throw in a bag. It's big and heavy and portable in the sense that it has a built-in
handle for taking it to the backyard, rooftop, or to and from your car's trunk.
JBL maintained the IPX7 rating, so the Boombox 2 is well suited to being around splashing water and
rain. You could submerge it in clear water for up to 30 minutes, and it can even float, except it
tilts forward, muffling the music into the water. Bluetooth also doesn't travel well when submerged,
so best to keep its water exposure to solid ground.
Inside the Boombox 2, the driver setup mirrors that of the original, with two 4in woofers and
two 20mm tweeters delivering JBL's "Signature Pro Sound".If you thought the original JBL Boombox was
loud, then reach for your earmuffs because this one is even louder – its 101dB of volume trumps
the previous model's 80dB. That's still not as deafening as some of the products out there,
but it's plenty loud enough to get a modest party started. Powering all of this racket
are two 40W RMS woofers and a pair of 40W RMS tweeters. This loudness is what makes
the Boombox Best In its class for partying. The JBL Boombox 2's stated battery life of
24 hours – is the same as its predecessor's. Best for the Price we have, the Anker Soundcore 2
The Anker SoundCore 2 offers a ton of features for the price like water resistance,
great battery life, and a rugged body. While its sound quality leaves something to be desired, it's
hard to think of a better speaker for the price. In terms of size, the Anker SoundCore 2 measures
165mm x 54mm x 45mm, which makes it small enough to toss into a bag without fear of it breaking
The SoundCore 2 is covered in smooth, but grippy rubber, and while you'll either love or hate
the feel of the 'skin'.it helps the SoundCore 2 achieve a fully waterproof IPX7 rating – meaning
it will survive being fully submerged in water at a depth of one meter for at least 30 minutes.
When you're looking at a speaker that you can fit into a coat pocket,
you tend to suspend your expectations a bit. To get a truly impressive bass response,
you usually need a larger speaker driver and a larger enclosure to help port the bass. Anker
pins the frequency response at 70Hz to 20kHz. Anker accounts for this with some clever digital
signal processing on-board and what they're calling a "spiral bass port". You'll actually
feel the strong bass resonance on the speaker if you're holding it with any bass playing at all.
But, for the average user, the sound quality here is excellent, especially when you factor
in the price. There's plenty of mid-to-high detail so podcasts, singer-songwriter music,
and basic pop/top 40 will be nicely supported. Anker promises 24 Hours of Battery life.
And last on the list, we have the Best Durability one, the Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM 3
The Megaboom 3 is one of the best waterproof speakers you can buy thanks to its rugged design,
long battery life, and audio performance. The Megaboom 3 looks like a slightly sleeker
version of the Megablast and the original Megaboom. It uses the same large, cylindrical
design (8.7 inches tall and 3.4 inches around, and weighing two pounds) as the rest of the line, with
a colorful wraparound fabric cover (available in blue, gray, purple, or red) and rubber end caps.
The Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM 3 has an outstanding build quality. The speaker is wrapped in a tight
fabric that feels durable, and it has a rubber top and bottom base. It has an
IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, it can stay to three feet of water for 30 minutes,
and not only is it sturdy, but it also floats. this third-gen Boom speaker can bob next to you
in the pool while still playing music – just don't leave it in for too long.
The first thing that you notice about the UE Megaboom 3's performance is just how incredibly
loud the speaker gets – half volume is enough to fill a medium-sized room. Crank the speaker
to 100%, and you'd better be outdoors where you have to compensate for ambient
noise. This speaker really kicks. the sound quality is good overall
as well with a boosted bass that has good impact and highs that never sound harsh.
UE says the speaker can play for 20 hours on a full charge.
