Imagine a speaker built not just for the outdoors, but for relentless exposure to the elements. The Soundcore Boom 3i isn’t simply water-resistant; it’s engineered to thrive where others fail – a true companion for adventures near and on the water.
Its IP68 rating guarantees complete protection against dust and water, but the real innovation lies in its saltwater resistance. This isn’t just about accidental splashes; it’s about enduring the corrosive nature of the ocean itself, a feature rarely found in portable speakers.
And it floats. Not just awkwardly, but purposefully, designed to remain upright with the speakers facing upwards, ensuring your music doesn’t become muffled as it bobs along beside you. Forget constantly retrieving a submerged, sideways-drifting speaker – this one stays in the mix.
Weighing just over three pounds and equipped with a convenient strap, the Boom 3i strikes a balance between portability and durability. It delivers up to 50 watts of sound, perfect for gatherings on the beach or around a campfire.
While it doesn’t promise earth-shattering bass, the sound profile is warm and balanced, with a satisfying mid-bass presence. For those who crave more low-end, a dedicated BassUp button and a comprehensive nine-band EQ within the companion app offer complete control.
Powering your adventures is a battery that lasts between 15 and 16 hours at moderate volume. Even better, it continues to play while charging via USB-C, making it ideal for extended trips with a portable power bank.
The thoughtful design extends beyond sound and power. A unique Buzz Clean mode utilizes low-frequency vibrations to dislodge sand and grit, keeping the speaker performing optimally. It’s a surprisingly effective feature, though a quick rinse remains essential after a day in the sand.
Beyond music, the Boom 3i offers practical features like an emergency alarm and a voice amplifier, adding an extra layer of utility for outdoor excursions and group activities. It’s a speaker designed to handle whatever you throw at it – or, more accurately, whatever the elements throw at it.
This isn’t just a speaker; it’s a resilient audio companion built to withstand the rigors of an active lifestyle, offering peace of mind and uninterrupted sound wherever your adventures take you.
