The Sony SRS-XB41 is handily the most entertaining waterproof speaker you can buy. In addition to delivering great sound, the gadget will also entertain you with built-in lights that are customizable via an app. They include a multicolor line light and speaker lights, as well as a flashing strobe.

In case the lights aren’t enough, the speaker is also capable of transforming into a customizable percussion instrument. You can control the volume by changing the force of your taps.

In terms of sheer audio prowess, the JBL Pulse 3 is a pleasant surprise. While it’s light show may lead you to believe that it’s all a gimmick, the Pulse 3 actually offers a very well balanced tonal balance – it sounds darn good and gets loud, making it the perfect companion for your next pool party.

If you want a great sounding Bluetooth speaker that’s waterproof and a conversation piece, the JBL Pulse 3 is the speaker to get.
