Every Speaker Rated IP68

Last updated: September 21, 2026

10 ranked speakers carry an IP68 rating, the highest protection level in this store: dust-tight, plus submersion deeper or longer than the 1-meter, 30-minute IP67 test, to a depth the manufacturer specifies. In practice this rarely matters next to IP67 or even IPX7; unless you’re actually diving with the speaker, treat all three as equivalent and let other factors decide. See speaker IP ratings explained for why IPX7 vs IP68 is a distinction that mostly doesn’t matter in real use.

Ranked #2 of 47 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Soundcore Boom Go 3i: $59.99 Amazon Aliexpress eBay

Soundcore Boom Go 3i ranking card

Pros: An exceptionally rugged 380g mini speaker with IP68 protection, a floating sound-forward design, app EQ, RGB lighting, a battery display, USB-C power-bank output and Auracast/TWS linking. It reaches about 92dB and independent testing finds it lasts nearly six hours at maximum volume with lights and BassUp enabled, matching its demanding claim.

Cons: This is still a 15W mono speaker: bass impact and stereo width are limited, and critical listeners may find the upper treble piercing or metallic. It is directional by design, so the sound changes off-axis, and independent reviews note it lacks a built-in microphone; it is far better for rugged outdoor background music than a large gathering.

Setup: Try out Oluv’s EQ which slightly improves the sound

Ranked #6 of 47 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Tribit Stormbox Micro 3: $59.99 Amazon Aliexpress eBay

Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 ranking card

Pros: Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 uses 48mm NdFeB driver with coaxial passive radiators. Its 330 g, claimed 24 hours (Manufacturer specified) battery life, IP68 protection, up to 93dB and mono playback make it a practical option for its intended room or portable use. Measured bass extension of 62Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Bass is limited by its 62Hz specification.

Ranked #24 of 47 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Go 5: $39.95 Amazon eBay

JBL Go 5 ranking card

Pros: IP68 rating, up from the Go 4’s IP67. AirTouch tap-to-pair stereo linking. 7-band custom app EQ, up from the Go 4’s 5-band. USB-C wired audio input.

Cons: Still overpriced for what it delivers, not very different from the Go 4 besides the lights. Still lacking bass and not very clear overall. Mono downmixing produces an audible growling artifact, the same issue noted on the JBL Charge 6. Falls well short of similarly priced rivals like the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. Weak off-axis dispersion and an uneven, upper-mid-heavy tonal balance. Doesn’t get meaningfully louder at max volume, just harsher.

Ranked #27 of 47 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Tribit PocketGo: $22.99 Amazon eBay

Tribit PocketGo ranking card

Pros: Fuller low end than the JBL Go 5, despite the JBL’s clearer, more typical JBL sound. Costs about half the price of the JBL Go 5. Can stand, hang from its loop, or lay flat on its feet for flexible placement. About on par with the Soundcore Select 4 Go, and a touch louder at lower volumes. App support with signature EQ and customization.

Cons: Battery life isn’t the biggest for this speaker class. JBL Go 5 has better build quality plus lightshow, Auracast, and AirTouch. Loses more bass than the Soundcore Select 4 Go at maximum volume. Slightly nasal quality to the sound.

Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Ranked #11 of 142 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Charge 6: $199.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

JBL Charge 6 ranking card

Pros: Seems more neutral than the Charge 5. Flatter frequency response through the mids and treble as the Charge 5 was quite rolled off up high. Use this EQ from Joy/Oluv and turn down the lowest bass slider for the best sound quality. Oluv has even more paid EQs specifically for the GG and TL models indoors and outdoors here. Measured bass extension of 53Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Still some boosted bass by default. Mids are recessed. Bright above 2kHz. Quite a V shaped frequency response.

Ranked #14 of 142 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Flip 7: $149.95 Amazon eBay

JBL Flip 7 ranking card

Pros: A very neutral speaker, very small, almost pocket size. Just slightly more treble than the Flip 6 which was already a great speaker. Slightly deeper bass than the Flip 6. Measured bass extension of 59Hz (-10dB).

Cons: A little bit of a bump at 4kHz, not quite as neutral as the Flip 6. On balance it is the slightly worse of the two.

Ranked #29 of 142 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Soundcore Boom 3i: $118.99 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

Soundcore Boom 3i ranking card

Pros: Looks to be designed as a direct competitor to the Charge 5 with a very similar sound profile, warm tuned with boosted bass. Better value for the money than the Charge 5. Measured bass extension of 56Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Not quite as good as a Charge 5, doesn’t go quite as loud or sound quite as balanced, but very very close. An earlier firmware version had some bass distortion, update your firmware in the Soundcore App

JBL Grip ranking card

Pros: Ambient light on the back with settable themes. Measured bass extension of ~68Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Lacking deeper bass, definitely the worst of the JBL line until you get to the smaller clip. Not as much clarity as higher ranked speakers, rolled off highs and wavy midrange

Setup: EQ from Oluv in his post can help it a bit but still isn’t very neutral

Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Ranked #2 of 78 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Xtreme 5: $399.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

JBL Xtreme 5 ranking card

Pros: Removable battery. Quite deep bass, reaching well below 40Hz. A fantastic sounding speaker with excellent off-axis dispersion, a big step up from older JBL portables. Beats the Soundcore Boom 2 and Tribit Stormbox Blast on bass depth and clarity. Plays clean at volume, unlike the JBL Boombox 4.

Cons: High priced. Some bass boost. A hole in the mid-upper bass which can’t be EQ’d out. Default EQ presets are weak (Signature is boring, Chill and Vocal are close to unusable) - needs the custom EQ to sound its best. Bigger and heavier than the Xtreme 4.

Setup: Try this Oluv EQ for the most neutral sound

Boombox Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Ranked #19 of 75 in Boombox Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Boombox 4: $549.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

JBL Boombox 4 ranking card

Pros: Pretty insane output capability for the size. Measured bass extension of 41Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Pretty overpriced for the category. Better than the Boombox 3 mostly because there are more 7 EQ bands instead of just 3 and it can be better tuned. Try Oluv’s EQ for it. Out of the box sounds worse than the Boombox 3. No Aux input.
