Verdict

The Philips TAS5305 is a portable stereo Bluetooth 5.0 speaker featuring dual 44mm (1.75-inch) full-range drivers and two passive radiators that deliver a total sound output power of 16W RMS (32W max) across a 100 Hz to 20 KHz frequency response range. Main advantages include a rugged IPX7 waterproof construction that allows submersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, 12 hours of continuous playback via its 2600mAh battery, an integrated hands-free microphone, a physical 3.5mm audio-in port, TWS stereo pairing, and dynamic multi-colored RGB LED light rings that pulse to the beat. However, the speaker takes a relatively long 6 hours to fully charge, lacks power bank functionality to charge external devices, and relies on an older Bluetooth 5.0 standard instead of newer versions.
