Today in this post I am going to review the best water speakers available in the market today.
So, you just moved to your new apartment, and it feels great, right?
But, it is empty and lifeless…
You want to make it look great!
You are trying to find something that adds excitement to your living room.
But not necessarily a couch, or a bookshelf.
You want something different, something new. Something that will make your guests say "what is that?"
You want to find some element that adds excitement, movement, light and relaxation… All at the same time.
But, is that even possible?
Have you heard about led dancing water speakers? LED dancing water speakers? Light up water speakers?
Your friend, the interior designer, mentioned something about "speakers that dance with water and light"? Did he mention a speaker that also adds a light show to your living room, paired with water?

A speaker that adds a light show and water show simultaneously? Is that even real?
It sounds weird, I know… But definitely exciting and super cool!
But, wait a minute…
What are water speakers?
Water speakers are a combination of a speaker (normally with 3.5mm input) and a light show contained within a water-filled compartment.
So basically you have a speaker playing back sound, while light is performing a light show that passes through a water compartment and reflects all across the room.
This "light show" combined with music, makes the environment look cooler and more relaxed.
However, depending on the music playback, and the speed of the light show, you can turn your living room into a more party-oriented, exciting, and uplifting mood.
These speakers have two basic component areas.
- The bottom area contains the speaker and the electrical elements that make it possible to operate.
- The top area contains the water compartment with the LED light that creates the light show.
Let's get started with the review
Top 5 water speakers reviewed
SoundSOUL Bluetooth Dancing Water Speakers
Key features:
- Product Dimensions: 24.4 x 15.5 x 7.9 cm
- Connectivity technologies: wireless, Bluetooth
- Special features: USB Charging
- Weight: 816 Grams
- Controls: Control volume+/-, pre/next, play/ pause
- Sound: Surround 360-degree stereo sound
Design and style
These speakers are approximately 10 inches tall, so they can be considered portable for the vast majority of users.
Their design has a black, pink, blue, or white plastic base that is actually very sturdy. The water compartment is clear and it contains 4 different LED lights for the light show.
The audio source can be connected via 3.5mm jack or Bluetooth. Both of these connections perform very well and are stable. Dropouts are almost nonexistent.
Their wireless connectivity option makes them look nice in a living room because of the lack of cables, compared to other speakers in the market.
Sound quality and performance
This system comes with 3-watt speaker cones that can be powered via USB or rechargeable batteries.
However, since the width of the casing is about 6 inches, the actual cones are around 3 inches of diameter. Very small speaker cones.
This translates into a reduced frequency response, a considerable lack of low end, and poor high-frequency reproduction.
The user can modify the stereo field by simply setting the speakers closer or farther to each other, increasing the mono or the stereo aspect respectively.
The fact this system comes with two speakers is good for stereo-based audio material, where the user might want to experience the stereo position of the instruments and the sound stage.
What do we like?
- It includes Bluetooth and aux connection possibilities, ideal for mobile devices, and also computers or sound players.
- Having 2 speakers is great for users looking to experience a real stereo field, ideal for music playback.
What we don't like?
- Poor frequency response due to the size of the cones and enclosures.
Aolyty Colorful LED Dancing Speakers
Key features:
- Play format: MP3
- Channel: 2.1
- Speaker: 2
- Input voltage: 5V
- Interface type: USB
- Weight: 350g
- Headphone connectivity: 3.5mm
- Operation mode: Connect the phone or computer
Design and Style
These speakers are 9 inches tall, a bit shorter than the previous set we reviewed. The smaller frame makes them look more pleasing in a living room or family room setup.
The power input connector based on USB voltage makes this a thin cable, great for spaces where you want to be as discreet as possible with cabling.
They feature a vertical design where the bottom part contains the speaker cones, electronics, and amps. This area is black, blue, or red.
On the other hand, the top part contains the water container where the LED lights are located.
The high airtight spreader design also helps in making the high frequencies louder and more intelligible.
The audio source is routed to the speakers using a 3.5mm auxiliary port. No Bluetooth option is available, unfortunately.
These speakers have no volume control. This means you must set the volume on your device.
The best thing is this water speaker is compatible with a computer, laptop, smartphone, tablet, PSP, and mp3/4.
Sound quality and Performance
Even though these are small speaker cones, the amplifiers they include are capable of reproducing a very decent frequency response making them sound loud and clear.
The cones are designed to be able to vibrate more than regular speakers, yielding a more powerful low end.
However, still these speakers do not include dedicated bass radiators or subwoofers.
If you are trying to use these speakers in a small party or gathering situation, they would work just fine.
What do we like?
- 9 inches high, makes them easier to set up within small spaces.
- Great frequency response considering the cone size, ideal for users looking for small setups that sound loud and clear.
What we don't like?
- No Bluetooth connection makes them less portable and not friendly to other systems trying to connect.
Supersonic Dancing Speakers
Key features:
- Compatible with – iPad, iPhone, iPod, Smartphone, Android, Tablet, Laptop, Computer, and MP3 Player
- Connectivity: 3.5mm Auxiliary Input, USB Input, USB and AUX Cables Included
- Built-In Amplifier included? : Yes
- 4 Multi-Colored LED Lights
- Weight: 1.75 pounds
Design and Style
These speakers look very close to the design presented on the Aolyty.
They have no volume control.
Their small frame makes them ideal for a living room or the kid's room where there is not a lot of space, but you are trying to add some sparkle to the ambiance.
Once again, their design includes a USB cable that powers them, that can easily be hidden behind a drawer or furniture to make it "disappear" from your eyes.
The frame design is vertical. The lower part can be black or white. The top part contains the water container and four different LED lights that provide the vertical lighting show.
The only way to send signals into these speakers is by using the 3.5mm auxiliary port.
Unfortunately, no Bluetooth is provided. This makes these speakers less portable than other models of this market because the user must locate the music player device in a short distance to the speakers all the time.
Sound quality and performance
These speakers have been reviewed as poor sounding, and overall soft. They can't produce high levels of sound and therefore they might not be ideal for outdoors.
Unfortunately, they do not come with dedicated bass radiators or subwoofers, making the low-end reproduction very poor.
Also, the included drivers tend to distort at high levels, so perhaps you want to keep them running at a moderate level.
On the other hand, if you want them to just set some background music in your living room, they will be fine.
The frequency spectrum reproduction is very reduced, therefore do not expect them to be hi-fi.
What do we like?
- Nice black or white look, ideal for living rooms where neutral colors are wanted.
- Easy to use due to lack of controls.
What we don't like?
- No Bluetooth connection to transmit audio.
- Not battery-powered, making them not as portable.
e-Joy Water Dancing Speakers
Key features:
- Speaker Type Satellite
- Item Weight 1.6 Pounds
- Color Water Speaker Black
- Speakers Maximum Output Power 5 Watts
- Has 4 multi-colored LEDs
- Compatibility: compatible with any audio device that has a 3.5mm audio jack connection
Design and Style
These speakers feature another vertical-shaped design on a stereo array, meaning you get 2 speakers (left and right).
The height of them is about 9 inches tall. Great for any indoor space where the user wants music and light show at the same time!
They are powered with a USB cable, so you will need to set them on top of furniture or desk where electricity is near. Harder to use in outdoor situations.
The shape is vertical and it has two main parts. The lower parts come in five different available colors (blue, pink, red, white, or black). The top parts are the ones carrying the water and LED lights.
The LEDs are capable of shooting four different colors, creating an exciting light show right in front of you!
The connection to the speakers is only available using the included 3.5mm auxiliary cable and input. No Bluetooth is available.
Sound quality and Performance
Because of its small speaker cones, this system cannot reproduce the lows and highs accurately.
They are built so that you can listen to the mid frequencies, which is where the vocals and guitars typically live within the song's mix.
For situations in which you are looking for basic audio reproduction, perhaps as a background source, while cooking, studying, painting, they will be fine.
Even though the quality is not great, the overall volume they deliver is plenty for indoor uses.
Still, keep in mind that running them at high levels might make them distort easily. Keep your volume discreet.
What do we like?
- Different available colors make them ideal for young boys or girls, but also good for social areas like the living room.
- The overall sound output is very impressive considering the size of the cones.
What we don't like?
- No Bluetooth connection is available.
- No alternate power input besides the USB cable, making them less portable and not ideal for outdoors.

Sound Quality and Performance
Considering these speakers have small size cones, their output volume is considerably higher than most competitors.
Their distortion levels are not as low as other competitors, so you could crank the volume higher than most speakers.
They do not feature a dedicated subwoofer, bass driver, or radiator, therefore the low-end reproduction will not be as you expect.
However, they are still better than the vast majority, so if you are looking for a good solution for indoor and outdoor uses, this will work.
