1. According to manufacturer JBL, the Charge 3 is certified with IPX7 and thus conditionally waterproof.
2. In detail, the IP classification indicates with the first digit how well an electronic device is protected against dust and with the second digit whether there is protection against contact with water.
3. The second digit, which describes the protection against water on a scale of 0 to 9, is a 7 for the JBL Charge 3, which guarantees you that the speaker is protected against temporary immersion, for example, when showering or swimming.
