Many outdoor speakers float on water or have an IP68 rating, but the only one that also floats upside down and is saltwater resistant is the Soundcore Boom 3i , making it the best portable speaker for water fun. It also has a host of useful features that make it a great option for outdoor use. It’s currently available for $99.99 (original price: $139.99).
I’ve been using Soundcore speakers and headphones for a while now and have been impressed by their materials, sound quality, and user-friendly companion app, especially considering their price. The Soundcore Boom 3i is no different, considering that portable speakers with similar features currently cost around $180.
Thanks to its corrosion protection, you can take it to the beach without worrying about salt damaging the speakers. Should this happen, a “Buzz Clean” feature plays low-frequency sounds to shake the speakers and clear them of debris. The floating speaker feature is a great addition, preventing the speakers from becoming submerged in water. It’s compact enough to be carried around and comes with a shoulder strap. The 50W power output is quite reasonable for its size, and it’s loud enough to easily accommodate a group of eight.
The app features a 9-band equalizer, allowing you to customize the sound to your liking. The speaker’s top panel also features a bass boost button, as well as volume, play, pause, and other useful media controls. The battery lasts approximately 16 hours, allowing you to listen to music while charging.
