If you're looking for a compact rugged, water-resistant Bluetooth speaker, the Braven BRV-1 is worth considering now that its street price has dropped to closer to $100.

... If you aren’t planning on, say, playing touch football in the rain to a soundtrack, there are more affordable options (including the Braven 600) that will fill your needs. Still, it’s important to consider other benefits of the speaker’s protection, like bathrooms and children – or the two combined. When it comes down to it, even though it’s pricey, we dig the BRV-1’s great sound and tough design and can’t help but to throw it a recommendation.
