To get your groove on in the great outdoors you’ll need equipment that’s as resilient, adaptive, and untethered as you are, dear reader. Digital Trends is here to help with a handy rundown of the best waterproof Bluetooth speakers available. For warm climates or cold, sweltering summer days or icy winter nights, these speakers will follow you to the ends of the earth, and keep the tunes rolling.

Why you should buy this: It’s sleek, sexy, life-resistant, and it sounds excellent.

Who it’s for: Everyone.

Why we picked the UE Megaboom 3:

If you’re familiar with Ultimate Ears, you won’t be too surprised at our pick here. The USA based manufacturer has built a sterling reputation for building solid speakers capable of repelling water and dirt altogether. The Megaboom replaced the Boom as UE’s top models, and for good reason.

You may wonder why we’re still recommending a speaker from nearly three years back, and the answer is simple: It’s got all the features you need for outdoor fun, and because it’s been around for a bit, it’s a crazy-good value. The Megaboom is slick, handsome, and waterproof (duh), boasting 20 hours of battery life and a Bluetooth range of up to 45 metres.

Looking at the Megaboom, you can’t immediately tell it was designed for outdoor use, which we think is a good design choice. Plus, uh, it sounds pretty fantastic too.

Why you should buy this: It offers big sound in a small, amphibious package.

Who it’s for: Frequent swimmers, kids, and bath lovers.

Why we picked the UE Wonderboom:

If you weren’t surprised by our choice of the UE Megaboom above, you shouldn’t be surprised here either. The Wonderboom — or the newer Wonderboom 2, which boasts improved sound quality, battery life, and an IP67 water resistance rating — offers a miniaturised version of the aforementioned Boom and Megaboom speakers, projecting audio in 360 degrees from an adorable little speaker pod.

The compact and shock-proof Wonderboom can take on the elements with fervour, safe from drops up to five feet on hard surfaces. The best part, though? It floats! That makes it the perfect speaker to take in the pool or the lake with kids and ensure it doesn’t disappear in five minutes. While the sound won’t blow you away, it offers impressive punch and clarity for the money. Speaking of which, perhaps the Wonderboom’s best feature is its price point.

Why you should buy this: It’s got big bass, a badass look, and it’s ready for your most rugged excursions.

Who it’s for: Those who really like to rough it, and need some big sound for the ride.

Why we picked the Tronsmart Force:

Want old-school boombox bombast (except with much better clarity) without having to tote around a massive, shoulder-mounted affair? Tronsmart’s Force can do that, pumping out impressive bass and respectably clear audio at volume levels higher than most any speaker its size can. It’s got a decidedly smaller form factor than the boomboxes of old, with the kind of sound that will make you wary of the classic shoulder carry.

In addition to its powerful sound, the Force has plenty more to offer: It’s incredibly durable, can last up to 30 minutes fully submerged in water, and can connect to another Tronsmart speaker wirelessly to boost those party tunes. When it comes to style, this speaker may seem basic, but don’t let this fool you, as it certainly packs a punch.

Why you should buy this: It’s unreasonably affordable, it goes anywhere, and charges your phone on the way.

Who it’s for: Anyone with constant “low battery syndrome.”

Why we picked the JBL Charge 5:

Sometimes sound just isn’t enough, and you need a speaker that can do a bit more. Enter JBL’s Charge 5, which doesn’t just keep the party going with clear and powerful tunes — it can keep your phone charged up, too. The Charge 5 is the latest version in the Charge family, and at this price, you can’t beat the value. The Charge 5’s feature set includes respectable sound performance, solid build quality, IPX7 water resistance, 20 hours of playback time per charge, and extra backup juice when you require it most.

The Charge 5 sounds a lot like the Flip 4 and the Link 10, which also offer a whole lot of audio punch for the money. That means punchy mids, clear treble, and bass that’s bigger than you’d expect for the size. If you need a great, affordable speaker for camping, hiking, and days at the lake, this is a great choice.
