Collection: Speakers

Speakers cover everything from a pocket Bluetooth unit to bookshelf pairs and party systems. The right one depends on where you'll use it: portable and waterproof for outdoors and travel, bookshelf speakers for music at home, a large party speaker for gatherings. Battery life, water resistance and sound quality all vary. Think about where you'll use it most, whether it needs to survive rain and dust, and how much volume you actually need.

What type of speaker do you need?

Match the speaker to where it lives:

• Portable speaker (Bluetooth): battery-powered and compact for travel, the beach and the backyard, often a waterproof speaker rating.
• Bookshelf or home speakers: mains-powered pairs for proper stereo music listening in a room.
• Party speaker: large, loud and often with lights and mic inputs, for gatherings and outdoor events.
• Smart speaker: a wireless speaker with a voice assistant and streaming built in.

What do IP ratings mean on a speaker?

An IP rating tells you how well a speaker resists dust and water, written as two digits — the first for solids, the second for liquids. IPX4 means splash-resistant from any direction, which handles rain and poolside spray. IPX7 means it survives immersion in a metre of water for around 30 minutes, so it can be dropped in a pool. IP67 adds full dust protection to that. For beach, pool and camping use, look for at least IPX4 and preferably IPX7. A speaker with no IP rating should be treated as indoor-only.

What affects how good a speaker sounds?

Physical size matters more than the specification sheet, because bass needs air to move — a tiny speaker simply cannot produce deep low frequencies no matter what the marketing says, which is why larger speakers sound fuller. Driver quality and cabinet design shape clarity and how the sound projects. Wattage is a rough guide to loudness but isn't a quality measure on its own. Stereo pairs give a wider, more natural sound than a single mono unit. Tip: placing a speaker near a wall reinforces bass, which helps small speakers sound fuller.

Common questions

What does IPX7 mean on a speaker?
It survives immersion in about a metre of water for around 30 minutes, so it handles being dropped in a pool. IPX4 is splash-resistant only, suiting rain and poolside use.

Why do small speakers lack bass?
Bass needs air movement, which needs physical size, so a small cabinet can't produce deep low frequencies regardless of specifications. Larger speakers or a subwoofer produce real bass.

How long do Bluetooth speaker batteries last?
It varies widely by model and volume — playing loudly drains a battery much faster than the quoted figure, which is usually measured at moderate volume. Check the stated hours as a guide.

Can I pair two Bluetooth speakers together?
Many models pair with a second identical speaker for stereo or louder sound, though this usually works only between matching models from the same brand. Check the specifications.

Can I pay for speakers with Afterpay?
Yes. You can split it with Afterpay, Zip, Klarna or PayPal Pay in 4. Our speakers start from $31, which is four fortnightly payments of $7.75.
