JBL Xtreme 3, $300 (reduced from $380)
Don't know which brand to pick -- or what type of waterproof Bluetooth speaker to get? The ideal option for you depends on your budget, the sound quality you're seeking and what extra features you want, such as voice control. We've got some great waterproof speaker options for you below.
Take a look at these reviewer-loved, portable, waterproof Bluetooth speakers that make excellent bathtub, poolside and beach-day companions. These speakers from JBL, Bang & Olufsen and more are already on sale now, ahead of Amazon Prime Day 2022.
Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 (2nd generation): $232
While the B&O Beosound A1's elegant design makes it seem like it shouldn't go anywhere near water or sand, it proves to be an excellent pool or beach day companion with its IP67 certification. That means that it has total protection against sand and dust, and can be submerged underwater for 30 minutes, at a depth of up to one meter. It also has a long battery life of up to 18 hours, plus Amazon Alexa built-in and app support so you can personalize its sound profile.
"I've been using Bose products for over a decade and recently I tried a pair of B&O headphones and immediately noticed the difference," reviewer Andrew Timko III says on Amazon. "This is my first B&O Bluetooth speaker and it certainly delivered."

JBL Clip 4: $50
This waterproof speaker is small enough to fit in your palm, so it's not an ideal option to fill an entire pool area with sound. But if you're seeking a versatile, budget-friendly speaker that can fit into any active adventure, consider the JBL Clip 4. It's currently reduced from $80 to $50 and has a built-in clip, so you can attach it to a tree, your pool bag and more. The Clip 4 comes in six hues and offers 10 hours of playtime on a single charge.
"It's not going to rattle any windows, but the bass coming out of this thing is a lot better than I expected," reviewer TheDude says. "I was expecting it to be tinny like most small speakers."
JBL Clip 4, $50 (reduced from $80)
To save $10, consider the well-reviewed JBL Clip 3, which is available in an even wider variety of colors, but has only 3.3 watts compared to the JBL Clip 4's 5 watts.
JBL Clip 3, $40 (reduced from $50)
Comiso waterproof Bluetooth speaker: $33
If you're looking for the most affordable option with the longest playtime here, the Comiso waterproof Bluetooth speaker is for you. It plays for 24 hours at full volume, or up to 36 hours at two-thirds volume on a single charge. Plus, it comes in seven cheerful colors from yellow to rose gold. You can pair two of these speakers for an enhanced stereo sound experience via a single device. This speaker is also IPX5 waterproof, which means it can resist a gentle splash, but cannot be partially or fully submerged.
"I like how the sound comes out from all around the speaker -- 360 degrees -- and it is able to get a lot louder than other speakers I've had," reviewer M. Merchant says.
Comiso waterproof Bluetooth speaker, $38
JBL Flip 5: $100
Pair two of these speakers together for stereo sound, or pair multiple JBL PartyBoost-compatible speakers for music that fills your whole yard. But even alone, this speaker offers 20 watts of sound, which is not too shabby. It has 12 hours of playtime; is IPX7 waterproof up to 3 feet deep; and offers USB-C quick charge. Choose from nine colors.
"This speaker is stupid loud -- and crisp at that," reviewer Alexander P says. "I work in an automotive shop and I keep my volume at 25% in my station. Phenomenal sound, phenomenal quality, could not be happier."
JBL Flip 5, $100 (reduced from $130)
JBL Xtreme 3: $300
This portable Bluetooth speaker, marked down $80 on Amazon, is rated IP67 waterproof (i.e., it's protected from immersion in up to 3 feet of water, just like the JBL Flip 5). It offers 15 hours of playtime, and 100 watts of power (hence its higher price point than the JBL Flip 5). Find it in three colors and prints.
JBL Xtreme 3, $300 (reduced from $380)
JBL Go 3: $30
This tiny Bluetooth speaker is your most affordable JBL option. It's rated IP67 waterproof, and offers five hours of playtime. And while it delivers just 4.2 watts, keep in mind that that's a relatively impressive stat for such a small speaker. Find it in eight colors and prints.
JBL Go 3, $30 (reduced from $50)
