The Soundcore Select 4 Go is a palm-sized Bluetooth speaker rated IP67, meaning it survives full immersion to about 3.3 feet for 30 minutes and is sealed against dust. It floats, which is the difference between a speaker that falls in a pool and a speaker you retrieve. Battery runs 20 hours, so a weekend of shower and beach use does not need a charger, and it includes a strap for clipping to a bag or a shower caddy. At 5 watts it is not a party speaker, but it is loud and clear enough to carry over running water and it holds together at maximum volume rather than distorting. Best fit: showers, pool decks, kayaking, bike handlebars and camp sites. The tradeoff is bass, since physics limits what a speaker this size can move.
Pros
- IP67 rated, survives full immersion rather than just splashes
- Floats, so a pool drop is a retrieval instead of a replacement
- 20 hour battery covers a full weekend without a charger
- Holds together at max volume instead of distorting the way cheap speakers do
Cons
- At 5 watts and this size, bass is thin, so it is a portable speaker rather than a party one
Frequently asked questions
Can it actually go underwater?
IP67 means immersion to about 3.3 feet for up to 30 minutes. It is built to survive a drop in a pool, not to play music while submerged, since sound does not carry out of water well.
Does it really float?
Yes. It is buoyant by design, so it comes back to the surface rather than sinking to the bottom of a pool or lake.
How loud is it compared to a phone?
Noticeably louder and clearer than a phone speaker, enough to carry over a running shower. It is not loud enough to fill a backyard for a group.
How does it charge?
USB-C. A full charge gives roughly 20 hours of playback at moderate volume, less if you run it at maximum.
