The Houl Zalee IPX7 Waterproof Outdoor Bluetooth Speaker is built for outdoor use, with a waterproof body that withstands splashes, rain, and accidental submersion. Bluetooth connects the speaker to phones, tablets, or laptops for music streaming and hands-free calls through the built-in microphone. The IPX7 rating means accidents won’t ruin the speaker if you drop it into a pool, get caught in rain, or splash it at the beach. The rechargeable battery powers hours of playback without an outlet.

A waterproof Bluetooth speaker with full sound you can take anywhere

The Houl Zalee handles most outdoor sound situations through its internal drivers, with stereo output that holds together at higher volumes without distorting badly. As for waterproofing, the IPX7 rating tests full submersion in 1 meter of water for half an hour, which provides more than enough margin against accidental pool drops, sudden rain, or splashes from a wave. The volume and playback buttons are on top of the speaker, so you can pause a song or turn down the volume without unlocking your phone.

The big upside of a built-in rechargeable battery is portability, since you can run the speaker anywhere, from the backyard to the beach, without having to scout for outlets. On a full charge, expect 8 to 12 hours of playback, depending on volume, which is enough for most outdoor events without needing to recharge in the middle. When the battery does dip low, a USB cable refills it in a couple of hours. First-time pairing via Bluetooth takes a few seconds, and the speaker reconnects automatically next time you bring both within range.
