Ultimate Ears’ Wonderboom 3 is a compact and durable portable speaker that supports Bluetooth for wireless connections. Much like its successor Wonderboom 4 that’s fetching $100 on Amazon right now, this one also has a range of 40 meters, meaning you don’t have to keep it glued to the phone or the laptop it’s playing from. The Wonderboom 3 speaker also comes with IP67 certification for dust and water resistance, and it can be submerged in 1m of water for up to 30 minutes.

If you are looking for alternatives, consider checking out Anker’s IPX7 waterproof 30W Soundcore 300 Bluetooth speaker that’s down to $60 from its usual price of $80. Folks who prefer using a pair of headphones for music can check out Sony’s XM4 which is still going for $198 instead of $348.
