Product details

Portable. Rugged. Ready for anything. The Beosound Explore is a waterproof wireless speaker made for adventure. No matter where your adventures take you, the Beosound Explore's uncompromising sound quality
will get you there. And thanks to its hardened, scratch-resistant and fully dust- and waterproof housing, it'll arrive anywhere unscathed.

An ultra-durable speaker, the Beosound Explore is made to accompany you wherever you go. Its rugged, rubberized base and aluminum enclosure make it safe to place on surfaces ranging from muddy campsites to sandy beaches, and its meticulously designed and engineered interior protects against damage from tip-overs or drops. From the anodized aluminum housing, a development of Plant 5 in Denmark, to the waterproof carrying strap and carabiner, every element of the design combines high performance with durability.

Designed to be portable down to the smallest detail, the Beosound Explore is a tactile speaker that fits in the palm of your hand. Clip it to your belt, lash it to your backpack, or just pick it up and go.
