Weatherproof and wireless — here are the best outdoor speakers

This portable speaker has everything you want in an outdoor wireless speaker: it’s got amazing sound, a large volume range, and durability. It’s waterproof and weather-resistant, built to withstand snow, sand, cold and heat. 
Amazon reviewer Michael Mathews writes:

“…WOW. and that’s not just from me. I’ve shown this to many friends and took it to a 4th of July Block party as well. Set it on top of my SUV and just blasted it. We put it on top of a car and let everyone take turns playing tunes. […] The sound quality is seriously impressive for such a small unit. The bass response is amazing, and I mean that in the “You will be seriously amazed” kind of way. Very clean, very smooth. […] At the block party we even plugged someone’s iPhone in to keep it charged. I still haven’t recharged it since the party and it’s still turning on…”

It is also great if you want to switch between playlists on two different devices.  As Amazon reviewer Derek Werbowy writes:

“…you can pair two phones to the speaker at the same time and seamlessly switch playing between devices without having the music stop. Just push the Bluetooth button again to pair to the second phone and book, two people can be DJ. It’s a game changer.”

This durable, battery-powered speaker is a great option if you want something you can move around outside from place to place, say from the pool to the grill. It’s also strong enough to take the occasional drop or bump. While it’s not the easiest to travel with due to its weight and bulky size, it is portable so you can also bring it with you on cookouts or go tailgating. The battery lasts up to 10 hours and comes with a charging base. You can also recharge it with a USB-C charger. 
This speaker is also super easy to use: it’s quick to set up, it’s simple to control through the Sonos app, and you can switch from WiFi to Bluetooth streaming when needed. And of course, since it’s an outdoor speaker, it’s weather resistant and able to stand up to humidity, rain, snow, dust, sun rays, and salt. 
Amazon reviewer D. Gregorio writes:

“Obviously, it’s pricey, But with that price comes a sound quality I didn’t expect from a portable speaker. Audio is rich and clear.”

And Amazon reviewer Lars Swanson writes:

“Portable (Check), pairable (check), weather resistant (check), Trueplay (check), voice control (check), bluetooth (check), Sonos sound and of course WiFi capability, (Check and Mate). This really is an amazing speaker […] The ‘Move’ is the speaker I’ve been hoping that Sonos would make. Every situation is different but I’d highly recommend getting a pair of them. Everything sounds better in stereo. Enjoy and thanks Sonos for making life just a little bit better.”

Available in multiple fun colors, this Bluetooth-compatible speaker features 360-degree sound and reaches high volumes, making it ideal for playing outside in large backyards. It takes a little short of three hours to charge, but then has 15 hours of battery life — perfect for a long day outside. 
One of the best features, though, is that it’s waterproof enough to survive being dropped and left in a pool for up to 30 minutes. In fact, it floats in water so it’s easy to retrieve if it does take that swim. 
Target reviewer Dgonsalves writes:

“This speaker is so great! The sound is strong and the different levels each showcase a different strength of the speaker. […] The app on my phone makes turning on and off the speaker so convenient. I am going to buy these for my entire family!”

And Target reviewer Teendocmbc writes:

“This product was easy to pair to my phone and the app was easy to download and use. The sound from this device was very clear and I appreciated the ability to adjust bass, treble, etc. from the app. I would recommend this for anyone who needs a lightweight portable speaker.”

This sleekly designed speaker is portable and offers true 360-degree surround sound, making for a great listening experience. It can also be paired with a second speaker for stereo sound or integrated into a Bose audio system. 
The speaker is easy to use and features a built-in mic for taking phone calls or engaging your phone’s smart assistant. It also features a good battery life of 12 hours, though the charging dock must be purchased separately. 
Amazon reviewer alius writes:

“… I am impressed with the sound quality, the clarity — at pretty much the entire audible frequency spectrum (of an older guy). The other impressive feature to me is the relatively deep bass tones. And all this from a small, down-firing single full-range driver/speaker assisted by ‘two passive bass radiators’…”

And reviewer Paula writes:

“Spectacular sound, compact design. Holy Buckets!!!! This speaker is AMAZING!! Bought it for listening to Pandora at the lake and don’t regret spending the money at all. Until you hear it, you’d never believe such remarkable sound could come out of a little speaker. Crisp, sharp tones, holds a charge good enough to listen all day long. Well worth the price.”

If you’re looking for relatively wallet-friendly, wall-mountable speakers for your outdoor space that allow you to wirelessly stream your music, these Bluetooth speakers will deliver. 
While they aren’t the most powerful outdoor speakers, they do produce a pretty good amount of sound. They are weather-resistant, though when you mount them, you’ll want to place them under a patio or facing inwards, not directly exposed to the elements. 
Walmart reviewer Paul writes:

“Hooked up these speakers on my back deck and [connected] them to one of my Echo dots. Very easy Bluetooth setup to the Echo.”

And reviewer WallyWorlddKenefickGal writes:

“Great sound quality, not distortion. About to purchase another set. We have them under the edge of the house by where we sit outside.”

This is more than just a Bluetooth speaker: it’s also a light show. When you play music, the speaker will put on an LED colored light show to light up the night thanks to its wrap-around panel. 
Reviewer Azalea writes:

“My partner bought this speaker for me for my birthday. It is absolutely worth every penny. The light show is stunning, and the design of the speaker really elevates that. I downloaded the jbl connect app, and it lets you modify the colors of the light shows. Which is really nice. The bass is incredible. It shakes the table at times. Which surprised me because of the size of this speaker. It really adds to the speaker that the LEDs seem to coordinate with the bass giving a stunning display.”

The speaker is portable, though a little heavier than one might want if you plan to travel with it a lot. It’s easy to connect to your phone and features a pretty good battery life of 12 hours. 

For its size — and its price — this speaker does not disappoint. It is waterproof in up to 3 feet of water for 30 minutes, weather resistant, and  has a long-lasting rechargeable battery. It will also easily connect to your devices over Bluetooth.
Amazon reviewer Robert L. Bush writes

“…What a perfect speaker. I mean I own a lot of Bluetooth speakers. A lot. This totally amazing thing showed up today. I’m listening to it as I write this. This Tribit has made All of my other speakers, obsolete. The sound that I’ve been searching for, is here. The fidelity is pure. Not since the days of amps and speakers, old school, has there been such sound. Oh, am I blown away…”

And Amazon reviewer Brendon DuVarney writes:

“Best Bluetooth speaker under $100!! This speaker lives up to the hype! It’s worth every penny…”
