This Waterproof Anker Bluetooth Speaker Is Now Under $20
If you’re looking for a portable outdoor speaker that can withstand the elements, Anker’s Soundcore Select 4 Go portable speaker is now under $20 on Amazon. This rugged speaker can withstand dust and water and is built to accompany you on your adventures, from picnics in the park to the beach and camping. Despite being a mono speaker, it reportedly delivers surprisingly clear and balanced sound. You can adjust the equalizer through the Soundcore app or connect it to a second device for stereo output.
It’s advertised as floating, making it suitable for lounging in a pool or bath. While it’s designed to float, keep in mind that the IP67 rating means the device can’t be submerged in more than a meter of water for more than 30 minutes, so don’t throw it in a pool or lake and forget about it.
At just two inches tall and equipped with a built-in loop, the speaker is palm-sized and easy to attach to bags, hang from a tree, or carry in your hand. It doesn’t have a light, making it more suitable for daytime adventures. It’s compact, but not as small or bassy as portable outdoor speakers like the JBL Go 4. However, it’s significantly cheaper and has a longer battery life. (The JBL Go 4 typically lasts up to nine hours, while the Soundcore Select 4 has a battery life of 10-20 hours.)
It doesn’t quite match the sound quality of the JBL Go 4, but if you’re looking for a budget outdoor speaker with a compact, lightweight design, extended playback, and pool-friendly durability, the Anker Soundcore Select 4 Go is a solid choice for summer adventures and beyond.
