Is it really waterproof?

It carries an IPX6 rating, which means it resists splashes, sprays and rain. It is not rated for being submerged, so don't drop it in the pool.

How long does the battery last?

Hoey rates it at up to 40 hours from the 5400 mAh battery. Expect less at high volume, and charging is by USB cable.

Can I turn off the flashing lights?

Some units let you switch the lights off and some don't. Check the controls or ask the seller before buying if the lights bother you.

Does it work with a microSD card or wired device?

Yes. Besides Bluetooth 5.3, it has a TF card slot and an aux-in port for wired playback.

Can I pair two of them for stereo?

No. It plays stereo from its dual drivers but has no feature to link a second speaker.

How does it compare with a JBL Flip?

It offers more claimed battery life and a light show for less outlay, but JBL models add app EQ, true waterproofing and more consistent sound.

Our take on the Hoey Portable Bluetooth Speaker 30W IPX7 Waterproof

The Hoey Portable Bluetooth Speaker is a 2.1 lb one-piece outdoor speaker with dual drivers, 30W of stereo output and a bass-forward tuning. It pairs over Bluetooth 5.3, also plays from a TF card or aux cable, and carries an IPX6 water-resistance rating for splashes and rain. A 5400 mAh battery is rated at up to 40 hours, and flashing colored lights add a party look. It suits beach, camping and backyard use where loud, rugged and cheap matter more than refined sound; against JBL and Anker rivals it trades polish and app control for battery life and light show.
