Most portable wireless speakers with IP ratings range in the IPX5 to IPX7 range. Thus, an IPX8 rating means the product has the highest level of water protection, and an unverified level of dust protection (but one that is assumed to be higher than no protection at all). When you see ratings with an X in them, it usually means the manufacturer didn't officially test for protection but believes the rating would be higher than zero. The rating IP68, therefore, is the top IP rating, signifying a dustproof, waterproof, submersible product. The number range for solids spans from zero (no protection) to six (dustproof), and, for liquids, it's zero to eight (waterproof and submersible beyond one meter for extended time periods).
The first digit refers to a product's protection against solids, like dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids. But these ratings can be confusing as well.Įvery proper IP rating consists of either a two-digit score, or an X (acting as a placeholder) and a single digit.
Manufacturers often claim a speaker is water-resistant or waterproof, but the only true measure of just how protected a speaker is from liquid and other potential hazards is its IP rating.
