The best outdoor speakers combine solid sound with rugged build to withstand life outside and come with some kind of water proofing to help protect them from the elements. From weatherproof speakers models intended for a life outdoors, to compact models that are built to roam, we’ve tested each of these models for the ability to shrug off splashes or a little light rain, to designs that are robust enough to allow you to leave them outdoors the whole year round. From the cozy confines of a patio to large backyards and public parks, with one of these outdoor speakers to hand, you won’t have to resort to listening to music in isolation on one of our best headphones.

We’ve tried each in different locations to see how they perform for a life outdoors. Some models also appear in our regularly updated best Bluetooth speakers and best waterproof speakers buying guides.[Read more]
