![]() The JBL Boombox 3 gets the party started and comes finished in black or squad color options. If you're looking for the best outdoor speaker that you can take on the go - and in the pool - the UE Megaboom 3 is highly recommended. In a similar way to JBL's speakers that use PartyBoost, you can pair the Megaboom 3 with up to 150 Ultimate Ears speakers using Party Up speaker pairing tech for the ultimate sound experience. It also stands out thanks to its 20-hour battery, which although not quite as lengthy as some I've seen, should keep the sounds playing all day long. It also carries an IPX7 waterproof rating, meaning it can sit by the pool, on the beach or even get dunked underwater and will keep on playing. Large for a Bluetooth speaker, the cylindrical shape provides 360 degree stereo sound, and pumps out booming sound from its attractive, portable frame. (Image credit: Tom's Guide)Īlthough the $199 / £199 / AU$329 Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 has been around for a while, it continues to outshine rivals and rank as one of the best Bluetooth speakers around. It's IP67 rating provides high-grade waterproofing combined with strong protection against dust and grit, making it ideal for beach trips and pool parties. The JBL Charge 5 is another model perfect for pool parties and the beach. Better yet, you can pair it with up to 100 JBL speakers. There's an app to tinker with EQ controls, and the PartyBoost tab enables it to be paired with another JBL speaker to either mirror the sound, or assign speakers as a left/right stereo pair. The easy-to-carry design delivers a sound that belies its size, and with better-than-average bass. Also, the carry strap is now a seamless loop rather than a bootlace with a fancy knot fastening the two ends together. Price-wise the Flip 6 retails for $129 / £129 / AU$169, and this next-gen version introduces a new cosmetic design with a large JBL motif embedded in the woven cloth grille that wraps around the cylindrical speaker, meaning there’s no doubt about who made this speaker. The IP67 rating means it's protected from water splashes, and can even be submerged in up to 3 feet of water. ![]() Although color choices can vary between territories, the waterproof rating remains the same no matter what option you go for. If you're looking for some design personality in a Bluetooth speaker that's just right for pool-side sounds, the JBL Flip 6 comes in eight color options including black, white, green, blue, red, gray, teal, and squad. The JBL Flip 6 is a compact pool party companion. It's IPX7-rated, making it fully waterproof, and it even floats! Like the Anker Soundcore 3 (above), it can play all day without needing a recharge, has BassUp technology for more powerful bass, and can be controlled by the Soundcore app to switch between EQ modes for personalized sound. If you’re looking for a compact speaker that's durable enough to withstand water splashes, the Motion Boom has a lot going for it. In fact, several party-goers remarked on its performance, and were blown away by the stereo sound it delivered at the budget price. In a yard party setting it sounded nearly as good as bigger 'boombox' models I've heard costing twice as much. Party-goers remarked on its performance, and were blown away by the stereo sound it delivered at the budget price.Īlthough I've not yet reviewed this particular portable Bluetooth speaker, I have used it extensively at home and can vouch for its credentials. Its practical size belies its ability to fill whatever space you are in with bassy sound, and has the power to project sound outwards into an open space with impressive clarity. The Anker Motion Boom may not be much of a looker, but it has all the right credentials to deliver big stereo sound anywhere. The Anker Soundcore Motion Boom isn't much of a looker, but it delivers on sound.
