Water resistance rating

An IP68 water-resistance rating lets the Charge 6 withstand full immersion in freshwater up to around 1.5 metres for 30 minutes, making it a strong choice for beach, poolside and all-weather use, though reviewers note that after exposure to salt or chlorinated water it should be thoroughly rinsed and dried, especially around the charging port, to avoid long-term damage.

The Wonderboom 4 carries an IP67 rating and a sealed charging port, and combined with its float friendly build it is widely trusted for showers, poolside listening and rainy trips, so long as owners avoid prolonged submersion.

An IPX7 rating continues to hold up in practice, with owners using the StormBox Mini+ in pools, bathrooms, and outdoors, and this review confirming it can float and bob in water without damage, reinforcing that it shrugs off splashes, condensation, and brief immersion.

The SoundLink Max’s IP67 rating and sealed construction make it comfortable around pools, rain and splashes, and newer testing highlights its built-in flotation that lets the speaker bob on the surface so you can retrieve it easily if it falls in the water, even though it does not play while submerged.

Reviewers highlight the Flex 2’s IP67 rating, noting that it is both dustproof and waterproof and feels trustworthy for use in the shower, by the pool, or outdoors in bad weather.

An IP67 rating and military style durability testing against rain salt water dust heat and vibration make the Bounce a confident pick for parks patios beaches and other rough outdoor use.

An IP56 rating and successful testing in heavy rain make the Move 2 a confident choice for use in gardens, patios and other outdoor spots where it may be exposed to showers and bad weather, though reviewers stress it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
