Speakers used to be precious things, coddled in homes and attached to tangled wires. Removing them from the nearest outlet was a stretch, let alone getting them anywhere near water. But now, with the technology of Bluetooth and the help of waterproof materials, fragile, stationary speakers are a thing of the past–and pool parties and campsite aren’t complete without the right music.

While it’s easy to focus on how your favorite tunes will sound while you’re outside, a good pair of poolside speakers isn’t solely about the sound—especially if they’re in the splash zone. When you’re shopping for waterproof Bluetooth speakers, one thing to keep in mind is the IP rating, which indicates the level of water and dust it can withstand. Waterproof speakers with ratings like IPX7 and IP67 will handle being submerged in water up to 1 meter for about 30 minutes. Others with ratings like IPX4 will only be able to get through splashes.
