The best waterproof speakers available today

Bluetooth speakers are already one of the fastest and easiest ways to play your music wherever you go. We’ve already covered the best Bluetooth speakers you can buy today, but what if you want one that can survive a fall into the bath?

Even if, for some reason, you don’t plan on taking your Bluetooth speaker swimming with you, it’s still nice to know it can survive a spilled drink or an accidental fall into a sink or shower. 

Obviously, waterproof speakers of the past didn’t sound nearly as good as non-waterproofed ones, this has slowly changed over the years. Now, they not only sound great, but they offer much longer battery life and some are even small enough to throw into your bag.

There are hundreds of waterproof Bluetooth speakers for sale now, so which one should you choose? Sit tight, we’ll go over the best waterproof speakers for you, so that you know exactly which waterproof speaker fits your needs the best. Let’s jump in.

Here’s a quick look at our top 10 best waterproof Bluetooth speakers list:

1. JBL Charge 3
2. UE Wonderboom
3. UE Boom 2
4. Fugoo Style
5. UE Megaboom
6. Bose SoundLink Color II
7. UE Roll 2
8. Fugoo Go
9. Philips BT6000
10. Creative Muvo Mini

The JBL Charge 3 puts forward an extremely well-priced package. The battery can last over 20 hours, can charge your phone if you need it, offers the strongest bass of any speaker in this list and even comes in at a very affordable price. Unfortunately, it’s not exactly the most travel-friendly speaker, as it is quite large, but bass lovers, who don’t mind carrying around a the extra bulk of a larger speaker, should put the Charge 3 at the top of their list.

Ultimate Ears will always make it onto our list of best Bluetooth speakers, and this time is no exception, as UE Wonderboom easily earns its place near the top of our list of best waterproof speakers as well. This tiny speaker punches high above its weight class, not only providing thick bass for a speaker so small, but music also sounds balanced and smooth. Plus, you can even pair the Wonderboom with two devices simultaneously. Even if it doesn’t project the widest soundstage and lacks a speakerphone feature, the Wonderboom still hits all the right marks.

The UE Boom 2 is the bigger brother of the UE Wonderboom, providing even more priceless decibels and clearer detail. It also lasts about 25% longer than the Wonderboom and includes useful features, like NFC and aux-in, for older devices. It’s a bit larger and heavier, but with that extra heft it does provide longer battery life. (Oh, and if you need a little bit more power, the Megaboom – also from Ultimate Ears – is a pretty sound choice, too.)

If you still haven't heard of Fugoo, you’re definitely missing out on some of the best waterproof speakers on the market. The Fugoo Style not only offers the longest battery life of any speaker on this list, (40 hours!) it also weighs in at a tiny one pound. Fugoo’s design philosophy is to provide different ‘jackets’ (Style, Tough or Sport) to fit around its ‘core’ speaker to fit different aesthetics. The Fugoo Style offers a great combination of size, sound quality and battery life for a modest price.

The UE Megaboom is at the very top of Ultimate Ears’ line of waterproof Bluetooth speakers. Its larger size means that this speaker can get loud and can last up to 20 hours at a reasonable volume. Bass is deeper and richer than its smaller UE Boom 2 and Wonderboom siblings. This is the speaker for anyone who wants to really blast their music at a party. For those who want to save some money, however, the JBL Charge 3 is half the price and performs comparably.

Bose has a history of making great sounding audio equipment, and the SoundLink Color II is no exception. This tiny speaker packs a deceptive punch, providing deep bass with a nice impact, but it obviously can’t match the sound of the bigger speakers in this list. Now, while the SoundLink Color II sounds great, you should note that it’s not completely waterproof. It’ll survive splashes and rain, but you don’t want to dunk it in the pool.

The UE Roll 2 offers a unique disk form factor that’s perfect for taking to the pool. The speaker comes with its own float, which lets you listen to and control your tunes in the pool, something no other speaker on this list can do. It might not sound quite as good as the UE Wonderboom, as it’s lacking in the bass department, but it’s still a solid sounding speaker. If you don’t care about the form factor and float, however, the UE Wonderboom is the better buy.

The Fugoo Go is a unique Bluetooth speaker that comes with a built-in bungee cord, like the UE Roll 2, to help you mount it to different things. The Go can also pair with another Go speaker to play in stereo, something that other speakers on this list can’t do. Sure, UE allows you to pair up multiple speakers for more volume, but you won’t get true stereo playback. While we recommend the Fugoo Style for its class-leading battery life and excellent sound, the Fugoo Go is a good alternative for a lower price.

The name ‘BT6000’ doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, but this Philips speaker offers a lot for the price. Since it’s a couple of years old now, the BT6000 can also be found for quite a discount, adding to its value. Sure, it might not have the longest battery life and lacks bass at low volumes, but it still sounds great among the newer competition. But, like the Bose SoundLink Color II, users should note that this is a splash-proof only speaker, so don’t dunk it in the pool.

Like the Philips, the Creative Muvo Mini is a couple of years old now but can still stand up to modern competition. This tiny speaker offers impressive sound and is quite a bargain. We loved it for its 10-hour battery life, balanced sound and affordability. Creative didn’t skimp on features either with this budget speaker, offering NFC and aux-in, something that not every speaker on this list offers.
