GoKawiilThe wireless nature of Bluetooth speakers makes them perfect for any on-the-go trip, whether that's an overnight stay or a beachside vacation. However, while you can take precautions to keep your speaker from getting wet, you can never be too sure. Whether you're on a trip near the sea, may experience a sudden spell of rain, or have a leaky water bottle, it's worth keeping an eye on how good the waterproofing is on any given speaker when shopping for a new one.
Bluetooth speakers have an Ingress Protection (IP) rating. An IP rating measures how resistant hardware is to dust and water, with the first number representing dust resistance (on a scale of 0 to 6) and the second number representing water resistance (on a scale of 0 to 9). For example, an IP rating of IP56 would translate to high dust resistance and protection from powerful jets of water.
