Now, let’s have a more detailed look at the BOTE MAGNEBoom Swell and check out everything that it has to offer you.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the speakers’ size, the BOTE MAGNEBoom Swell comes at a fairly compact size, measuring just 3.3 inches in diameter by 4.25 inches tall. On top of its ultra-compact size, this portable Bluetooth speaker is also quite lightweight, as it weighs just 0.8 lbs.
A really cool detail about the MAGNEBoom Swell is that this Bluetooth speaker even comes together with a detachable Rope Lanyard that can be optionally used for attaching the speaker to a backpack while you’re on-the-go or even while you’re exploring the outdoors.
The speaker also features a super-modern, stylish, and somewhat discreet design, as its body comes in a solid Black color with Aquamarine Green accents.
Moreover, the speaker is also rated to have an ultra-rugged and completely waterproof construction, as its outer shell is built of high-quality TPU plastic, and the speaker’s body is also rated to have a IPX7 Waterproof Rating, which makes it capable of being submerged up to 1 meter underwater for up to 30 minutes at a time.
Last but not least, we’d also like to mention that this sleek portable Bluetooth speaker also comes equipped with a built-in magnetic base, which makes it perfectly compatible with BOTE’s Magnepod, which is basically a revolutionary tool-less drink retention system designed for BOTE’s SUPs (Stand-up paddle boards), kayaks, Dock Hangouts, and drinkware that makes securing your beverage (or in this case, the BOTE MAGNEBoom Swell Speaker) a breeze, ultimately allowing you to keep your focus on any outdoors water-sports activity you have at hand without having to worry about carrying or losing your drink (or speaker).

For reproducing its high-quality and amplified sound, the BOTE MAGNEBoom Swell Speaker comes equipped with a set of dual 5 Watt 43mm Speakers that together offer you a combined Output Power of 10 Watts, while having a rated Sound Impedance of 4Ω (ohms).
All in all, the speaker’s sound-quality is quite nice, as the speaker is easily capable of reproducing a crystal-clear treble (high-frequency sounds), noticeably clean mids (mid-frequencies) – especially for vocals – and also a decent “punchy” bass (low-frequency sounds), which can also be noticed.
INTERFACE / CONTROL PANEL
Moving on to the speakers’ interface, meaning its Control Panel. As mentioned earlier, the BOTE MAGNEBoom Swell also integrates built-in Controls.
At the front-side of the speaker, we have its dedicated Volume Increase and Volume Decrease Buttons, which are large-sized and super-easy to press.
Then, at the back-side of the speaker, we have its dedicated Power On/Off Button, its Play/Pause Button, a Bluetooth Pairing button, and below it, there’s also a rubberized protection cover that houses the speaker’s Micro-USB Charging port, as well as an AUX Input port for a 3.5mm Audio Cable (in case you want to connect it to an external device such as a PC, or even your Smartphone).
CONNECTIVITY
For its wireless connectivity method, this portable Bluetooth speaker utilizes Bluetooth 5.0 Connectivity, supporting a maximum wireless range of approximately 30 ft. (10 m).
Best of all, the BOTE MAGNEBoom Swell also features support to Dual Pairing (via Bluetooth), which allows you to wirelessly connect two (x2) MAGNEBoom Swell Speakers together, allowing you to enjoy an even greater amplified sound.
BATTERY & BATTERY LIFE
Lastly, for its power, this speaker comes equipped with a built-in 1800 mAh Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery that can ultimately offer you up to 6 hours of battery life, allowing you to listen to your favorite tunes or any other type of audio content wherever you go.
