Understanding IP Ratings for Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

When shopping for Bluetooth speakers, understanding their Ingress Protection (IP) ratings is crucial for water resistance. An IP rating consists of two numbers: the first for dust resistance and the second for water resistance. For Bluetooth speakers, ratings like IP67 or IPX7 are common and allow for submersion in water for a limited time. The JBL Charge 6 features an IP68 rating, offering enhanced protection against submersion under harsher conditions and for longer periods than IP67, though no rating is entirely waterproof. AI
