Playing music on the golf course has become both acceptable and convenient at many golf courses and driving ranges, and as a result more and more golf-specific gadgets have become available.

You might already have a bluetooth speaker at home, but some models are better for golf than others. Take Spy’s X18 Bluetooth Speaker, for example. It’s designed to fit in a cup holder, which means it won’t fall out of your golf cart when you punch the gas.

If you’re not riding, you can hang it from your golf bag with a handy carabiner. And although we can’t endorse the behavior, there’s also a mic and speakerphone should you need to take a call on the golf course.

Here’s what else you need to know about Spy’s X18 Bluetooth Speaker. 

It’s durable

–It has a molded outer silicone shell skin for durability.

–It’s water resistant, good if you spill drinks or it rains.

–It’s IPX6 water-resistant, and drop-proof from up to 1.2 meters (that’s about the length of your driver, folks).

Good battery life

–Boasts 15-hour battery life of full max volume playback, good enough for about three rounds of golf.

–Built-in 2200 mAh class A high capacity rechargeable lithium battery

Sound-quality is “up to par”
