Lumsing Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker Double-coil Speakers

Durability and water resistance

The Lumsing Waterproof Speaker bluetooth speakers has an International Protection (IP) rating of 64. That means it's completely protected from dust. As for water, the rating indicates the speaker is protected from splashes, but not submersion.

As mentioned earlier, Lumsing's Amazon listing uses both waterproof and splashproof, but the facts point towards the speaker just being protected against splashes. I believe a large quantity of liquid would be able to penetrate the speaker grill. Don't toss it in the pool.

The HiFi MM526 is great little speaker for the price. It provides a fuller, louder sound than a phone or tablet could do on its own. Most of us probably won't use the calling option, but it's cool to have. The attractive and distinct appearance is welcome, as is the resistance to splashes.

This speaker only has two significant disadvantages that I can see: the 8-hour battery life (discussed earlier) and the inability to disable voice prompts. Those prompts are loud and somewhat redundant. It's not a huge deal, but there should be an option to turn them off.

If you're choosing between the Lumsing MM526 and the Nokia MD-12, the latter is a bit smaller, has better battery life, and offers NFC pairing (a very minor feature in my opinion). This one has calling support and splash resistance, plus it costs at least ten bucks less. If you don't mind having to charge it a bit more, Lumsing's Splashproof speaker portable wireless speaker won't let you down.
