However, the portability, durability and longevity of the Boom Swimmer make it worth a look for those on the go. If you want better sound and can do without long battery life, the JBL Clip is the choice for you. With its flexible tail attachment, the speaker can hook onto just about anything, and its weatherproofing makes it more durable than similar speakers.

If you're looking for a true "take it everywhere" ultraportable Bluetooth speaker, the Swimmer fits the bill - as long as you don't crave high fidelity.

Unlike the JBL Clip, which lasts only 5 hours on a full charge, the Swimmer says it can play at 50-percent volume for 16 hours (8 hours at full volume). JBL's Clip gets louder with less distortion. But at that volume, the sound suffered from some distortion. It maxed it out at 85 dBs in my testing, which is also the highest safe level of listening. I did hear improved bass when I turned the volume up, and the Swimmer can get pretty loud. In comparison, JBL's Clip delivers much better fidelity, especially in the treble tones.īoom suggests that using the suction cup attachment rather than the tail improves bass response - likely by taking advantage of the sound-conducting qualities of the surface to which the speaker is attached - but I heard only a minor improvement. While Lorde's vocals on "Team" resonated well enough, the thumping bass-line underneath lacked oomph. Seventies' glam rock band Big Star's "In the Street" sounded harsh and tinny instead of bright and powerful Beck's acoustic guitar on "Heart Is a Drum" lacked the crispness that it had through other speakers.

I hang it from the light fixture in the house when I’m at home, a backpack loop when I’m out, my bike handlebars when I’m cruising, a chain-link fence when I’m hanging out at the schoolyard, a tree branch when I’m sitting near a tree, and this winter I plan to loop it to my fanny pack while skiing. It has a flexible tail, which you can hook, tie, fold, twist, and bend. In addition to being something you can just kind of toss around, the Swimmer is more adaptable than a typical rectangular speaker. And even if you manage to, it’s not the end of the world-the thing only costs $60 (a junior version-smaller, fewer features, costs $40). Rugged enough to withstand shock, dirt, sand, drops, and being waterproof up to three feet deep for 30 minutes, it’s really hard to break. It’s just more practical, inexpensive, and built for my lifestyle. Not that the Bluetooth speaker is not nice. Which is why I like Polk’s Boom Swimmer Duo. I shouldn’t be trusted with nice, shiny things.
