Acefast 5W IPX7 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Black

Splash resistant is fine until the speaker goes in the pool. This one is rated IPX7, which covers immersion as well as heavy splashes, so a wet campsite, a boat or a shower shelf is no longer a risk. A lanyard comes in the box for clipping it to a bag or a bike frame.

Sound comes from a single full-range 45 mm square driver with 5W of output, which suits podcasts, playlists and hands-free calls rather than filling a garden. Bluetooth 5.4 with the AC6956C8 chip keeps the connection steady with less interference, and two units can be linked over TWS for a wider stereo image.

The 900 mAh battery is quick to fill, about 1.5 hours, and runs for up to 8 hours, which comfortably covers a day out. At 200 g and 100 mm by 40 mm by 78 mm it goes in a jacket pocket. The plastic body sits behind a protective mesh.
