Sunshine, swimming pools, friends… is there anything better than a pool party to lift your spirits? And no perfect pool party is complete without a floating Bluetooth speaker that can bob on the water and deliver great sound!
However, with so many waterproof speakers on the market, not every one is suitable for pool use. To choose the right floating speaker, you need to focus on these 5 key points:
1. Are All Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers Floatable?
Answer: No!
Waterproof ≠ Floatable. Many waterproof speakers are only designed to resist splashes or brief immersion but aren’t built to float. A true floating speaker requires careful consideration of buoyant materials, center of gravity balance, and sealing to ensure it stays afloat steadily and doesn’t get damaged by water.
2. What’s the Minimum Waterproof Rating Needed for a Floating Speaker?
Strongly Recommended: IPX7 and Above!
IPX7 means the device can be immersed in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes without damage, while IPX8 allows for longer immersion. IPX7 is the basic requirement for speakers that might fall in or be placed in a pool. If your parties involve lots of “water fights,” we recommend choosing an IPX8 rating directly!
3. Besides Floating, What Other Features Should a Pool Speaker Have?
- Sun/UV Resistant Housing: Prevents material degradation and color fading from prolonged sun exposure.
- Saltwater Corrosion Resistance: Important if you’re by the sea or using chlorinated pool water.
- Non-Slip Base Design: Prevents slipping and falling off pool edges or tables.
- Bright Colors: Not only do vibrant colors suit the summer vibe, they also make the speaker easier to spot in the water!
4. Does Bluetooth Connection Get Affected in Water?
Water can attenuate the Bluetooth signal, but good antenna design solves this!
Bluetooth signals can be hindered when transmitting through water, but high-quality floating speakers address this with enhanced antenna design and chip optimization to ensure stable connection within the pool area. Generally, stable connectivity within a 10-meter range shouldn’t be a problem.
