JBL Go 5

One of the cheapest ways into a properly sealed speaker. At about half a pound, the Go 5 disappears into a hip belt or a dry bag pocket, and its IP68 rating plus drop-proof build means a rainy portage or a tumble off a picnic table is no drama. Expect 8 hours of play, or 10 with Playtime Boost, which suits day trips better than a long weekend off-grid. The sound is small by nature, so treat it as a personal speaker for the tent or a quiet lunch spot rather than a beach party. Two of them bumped together pair up for stereo.
