How to choose
- Size against sound: pocket speakers are for one person or a small room; bigger models carry outdoors and have fuller bass.
- Water rating: IPX7 means the speaker can handle a short dunk; lower ratings cover splashes only. Check the rating on the listing.
- Battery: look at the brand’s rated hours and remember that high volume shortens them.
- Pairing: if you want stereo or a party mode, make sure both speakers support the same feature.
