Here are the best waterproof Bluetooth speakers currently available.

Bringing out the big guns with their SRS-XG500 X-Series portable Bluetooth party speaker, Sony has a premium product with incredible sound that you can pretty much take anywhere. This is a lightweight portable speaker that is both water-resistant and dust resistant.

Its outer casing has a water-repellent mesh fabric that makes it easy to clean and keep dry. Perfect for anyone looking to take their music to the beach, as this bad boy will keep on playing even when exposed to water and sand. Being a Sony speaker, you can trust that the sound quality will be impeccable, and able to handle any amount of bass that you care to throw at it.

It will last for around 30 hours on a full charge, making it an ideal companion for a day at the beach, a BBQ, a camping trip, or anywhere else where the elements may otherwise put a dampener on things. As well as the usual Bluetooth functionality, the Sony SRS-X500 X-Series has USB play and charge, too. Plug your smartphone into one of the speaker’s rear UBS ports and play music through a wired connection, while the speaker’s battery charges your phone.

Memory sticks or flash drives can also be plugged in to enable you to play your digital files. Sony’s Music Center app helps you control your music; allowing you to select your favorite playlists, cue the next track, and change lighting patterns and sound modes on your speaker. As a bonus feature for the musically inclined, this speaker can also double up as a plug-in guitar amp! Very cool.

As a premium water-resistant Bluetooth speaker, you can’t go wrong with this one. Although pricier than many other Bluetooth speakers out there, there’s no doubt those extra bucks will be well spent, for those that can.

It’s lightweight and can be easily clipped to your backpack at the start of each new adventure.

Priced at a fraction of the cost of some waterproof speakers, the Ortizan IPX7 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker sits firmly in the budget category. However, this little speaker shouldn’t be overlooked; particularly when considering value for money.

This 24-watt speaker is IPX7 waterproof and can be used while showering, swimming, on the beach, or in the rain. It can even withstand being fully submerged in up to three feet of water for up to half an hour. It is available in a variety of colors and you can of course pair two together for true stereo sound.

You can squeeze an impressive 30 hours of use out of it on a full charge, and it is small enough to travel anywhere with you. This Ortizan IPX7 Waterproof Speaker also includes a built-in rainbow light show to illuminate your evenings. Multicolored lights are emitted that pulse and phase (read, dance) to the sound and beat of your music. This feature can be easily switched off if you wish but come on…why would you want to?!

While you won’t be getting quite the same level of sound quality with this waterproof speaker as some of the more expensive options out there, this is still a solid speaker that comfortably treads that fine line between quality and price. Plus, there’s that built-in light show.

You can enjoy your own aurora borealis every day with the Ortizan speaker. Perfect for anyone who likes to create an atmosphere with their music! This is one of the best waterproof speakers out there for anyone on a budget.

This is a budget-priced waterproof Bluetooth speaker that can take a beating. Submerge it, muddy it, cover it in sand, and then simply wash it clean afterward. For a fraction of the price of other waterproof Bluetooth speakers out there, this will surely become your new best shower buddy!

Water-resistant rather than waterproof, this 10-watt prism-shaped Bluetooth speaker is still well worth an honorable mention. Splashproof enough to be taken with you to the beach or the pool; it has an impressive Bluetooth range of up to 100 feet and will last up to 14 hours on a full charge.

The sound quality is nice and clear, although you won’t be experiencing the deep-diving bass tones that some other portable speakers offer. However, you should have more than enough power and volume for a home workout, drinks by the pool, or as a sound booster for gaming that you don’t have to worry about spilling your coffee on!

Compact and stylish, the Oontz Angle 3 Bluetooth Water Resistant Speaker is available in a variety of colors and is a bit of a steal considering its features, color choices, and quality.

Generally speaking, waterproof Bluetooth speakers are not designed to be submerged in water, as this could cause lasting damage to the device.

However, some can be submerged in water for a short period of time, whereas others can float on top of the water.

Most Bluetooth waterproof speakers are given an IPX rating to give you an idea of what a speaker can and can't be exposed to. Some are completely waterproof, others water-resistant, and some are just splashproof.

A water-resistant device provides a lower level of protection than one that is waterproof.
