The Skullcandy Barrel is a portable Bluetooth boombox built for loud, bass-heavy outdoor listening. It has a carry handle, IPX5 splash resistance and a USB port that lets it charge a phone from its own battery. Two units can be paired for true wireless stereo. It is heavier than most grab-and-go speakers at about 12 lb, so it suits patio, beach and tailgate use more than a backpack. Against smaller rivals it trades portability for volume and low-end punch.
