Pool water, sand, sunscreen, and sudden splashes will destroy a normal speaker fast—so for beach/pool use, you want real water resistance (IPX rating), good battery life, and a body that’s easy to grab, rinse, and carry.
Below are the 4 speakers, compared for waterproofing, loudness, battery, and value.
Quick Picks
- Best overall for most people (portable + proven): JBL FLIP 5, Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Red
- Best for pool use (IPX7 + floatable): Wildoy Speakers Bluetooth Wireless, 100W Loud Outdoor Speaker with Bass, IPX7 Waterproof Floatable, 20H Playtime, RGB Light, Portable Speaker with TWS for Work, Outdoor, Garage, Camping (Black)
- Best value deal: BassBloom Roar 1 Portable Bluetooth Speaker,60W Powerful Sound with Deep Bass, IPX6 Waterproof,24H Playtime,Bluetooth 5.4,RGB Party Lights,Wireless Stereo Pairing,Travel Outdoor for Camping and Beach
- Best “jobsite/party loud” style: Bluetooth 6.0 Speakers Outdoor, 80W(Peak) Loud Speaker with Bass, 30H Playtime, IPX6 Waterproof, RGB Lights, BassUp 2.0, TWS, Portable Large Jobsite Speakers for Party, Garage
What IPX6 vs IPX7 means (simple)
- IPX6: handles strong water spray/splashes (great for poolside + beach spray).
- IPX7: can survive temporary immersion (better “oops it fell in the pool” protection).
For pool/beach, IPX6 is fine if you’re careful; IPX7 is safer if accidents happen.
1) Wildoy Speakers Bluetooth Wireless, 100W Loud Outdoor Speaker with Bass, IPX7 Waterproof Floatable, 20H Playtime, RGB Light, Portable Speaker with TWS for Work, Outdoor, Garage, Camping (Black)

Pros
- IPX7 + floatable = best protection in this list for pool use
- Built for outdoor use (big handle-style design)
- 20H playtime listed
- TWS listed if you want to pair two for louder stereo
Cons
- Bigger and less “throw it in a tote bag” portable than the JBL Flip style
- Large speakers can be harder to place in crowded pool areas
