Doss Bluetooth Speaker
Score: 76/100
Soundcore Select 4 Go
Score: 79/100Rankings
The Soundcore Select 4 Go is an ultra-portable Bluetooth shower speaker offering up to 20 hours of playtime and IP67 waterproof, floatable protection. Its modest 5 W output limits maximum volume, and occasional Bluetooth hiccups can occur at the edge of its range. Ideal for solo swimmers, shower users, and travelers who value portability and durability.
The DOSS SoundBox Plus provides 16 W HD stereo sound, a 20-hour battery and wireless stereo pairing with vibrant LED party lights. Its older Bluetooth 4.2 version and lack of waterproofing limit its robustness, and high-volume treble can be harsh. Best for casual listeners who want a budget-friendly party speaker with long playtime.
