Water and Dust Resistance

The JBL Link Music is a great-sounding speaker, but it's not waterproof. So, you can't take it for a swim. It does have an IPX7 rating, which means it can withstand being submerged in up to three feet of water for up to 30 minutes. So, if you're caught in a rainstorm or accidentally splash it with water, it should be fine. Just don't take it swimming with you.

If you're looking for a speaker that you can take to the beach or the pool, you'll need to look for one with an IP67 or IP68 rating. These speakers are designed to withstand being submerged in water for extended periods of time.

Here are some tips for keeping your JBL Link Music safe from water damage:

Avoid using it in wet or humid environments.

If it does get wet, unplug it and let it dry completely before using it again.

Don't expose it to extreme temperatures.

Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.

By following these tips, you can help to keep your JBL Link Music in good condition for years to come.
