Their new Aquaphonics AQ10 is an amazing bit of tech. As you’d expect of anything bearing the LifeLroof name, this is some rugged kit. If you skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, sandboarding, or whatever, the AQ10 is dust, dirt, and snow proof, so no troublesome grains are going to find their way inside your speaker and kill the vibe, or the circuit boards.

What’s really smart is the AQ10 is also waterproof for 30 minutes and up to a metre down. It will even float if you drop it in the water while you’re surfing, kayaking, or even just having a soak in the bath while trying to get into one of One Direction’s more experimental albums. It also feels good and solid to touch, so it’s no surprise that it can happily take a drop from well over a metre.

LifeProof Aquaphonics AQ9 Bluetooth Speaker Review

So, in terms on indestructibility, you know it’s one of the toughest Bluetooth speakers available. It’s going to live longer that Jon Snow in a tank, but what does the LifeProof Aquaphonics AQ10 actually sound like? Simply put, it’s superb.

Many speakers today seem to fall into the same old trap of delivering inflated, soupy bass notes and not worrying about anything else. However, the AQ10 delivers a really nicely balanced sound, driving the bass, but with really clear top notes, and a solid mid range. What does all this mean? It means you’re getting really good audio, whether you’re listening to Mozart, Motown, or Megadeath.

“The LifeProof Aquaphoics AQ10 has got to be at the top of your must-have list”

At 21x 32cm and weighing in a a reassuringly good 771g, the AQ10 is the smack bang in the middle of LifeProof’s Aquaphoics range, being bigger than the AQ9, but more compact than big brother, the AQ11.

While you can connect your phone via an auxiliary in point, the easiest way of getting music onto your AQ10 is via Bluetooth. You can connect your smartphone in just a few seconds, and have your music pumping wherever you are. You can connect up to eight devices to the AQ10’s Bluethooth, although you we still haven’t worked out how to stop our mate Neil from playing the TopGun soundtrack over and over.

If you’re looking at a powerful Bluetooth speaker that’s compact enough go on the road with you, and tough enough to take anything you can throw at it, the LifeProof Aquaphoics AQ10 has got to be at the top of your list.
