Features

Made to last
Breaking new ground or walking the beaten path? It’s all the same to the sturdy Beosound Explore. Inside the scratch-resistant, anodised aluminium shell, a vertical rib structure provides serious protection from bumps. We design and build the aluminum shell of the speaker in Denmark as this is the only way we can ensure that it meets our strict requirements.
Travelling companion
Bring your music into the wild. Beosound Explore is designed to perform under extremes, and it’s just as intuitive to use as your other trusted gear. Clip it on your backpack or hang from your belt. Or lodge it in a cliff-side alcove. The rubber base keeps the speaker steady on most surfaces. Just grab it. And hit the trail.
High-performance battery
Beosound Explore takes you there and back again. With up to 27 hours of playtime, this speaker is ideal for those off-the-grid adventures where power is in short supply. And it never compromises on sound quality.

Dust and waterproof
Life on the road is wet. And sunny. And windy. And dirty. But with a fully dust and waterproof IP67 construction, Beosound Explore turns any environment into a playground. Just brush it off or wash it in a stream, then you’re good to go again.
Always connected
Wherever you go, music follows. The latest in Bluetooth and Fast Pairing means that your favorite tunes are never more than a tap away. The waterproof controls are glove-friendly and easy to use – even when fastened to your backpack.
Inspired by the sturdy simplicity of traditional outdoor gear, Beosound Explore is crafted to follow you for years on end.

Awards and press

It’s an ultra-tough compact speaker uniquely adapted for windswept highland peaks, remote sandy beaches and campsites with nowhere to plug in. It delivers the sound performance and bass of a speaker three times larger, and it looks gorgeous while doing so.
The Independent
With up to 27 hours of playing time from a single charge, too, it should last the length of your whole excursion, from the early excitement right through to the "why did I ever agree to this?" stage.
What Hi-Fi
The outdoor speaker also comes with an IP67 dust and water resistance rating, so you can take it camping or to the beach without the fear that a little sand or water will ruin your music.
TechRadar
The projection of the sound is impeccable thanks to the ingenious grille design that gives a 360 omnidirectional sound.
Forbes
Every aspect is weighted just right against the others to my ear – bass is present and firm, but not showy. The mid-range is warm and gives acoustic tracks presence and pop tracks warmth. The treble is detailed and clear, but never overly sharp.
