What IP rating does a Bluetooth speaker need for outdoor use?

IPX7 is the minimum for any speaker going near water: it survives submersion in a meter of water for 30 minutes, which covers pool drops, heavy rain, and beach splashes. IP67 adds full dust protection, which matters in sandy or dusty environments like desert hikes and beach days. IP68 exists on a few speakers and allows deeper or longer submersion. IPX5, which covers water jets but not submersion, is not enough for pool or beach use where the speaker could fall in. Every speaker on this list carries at least IPX7.

How loud does a Bluetooth speaker need to be for outdoor use?

Louder than you think, because outdoor environments absorb and disperse sound in ways that indoor rooms do not. Walls reflect sound back toward the listener; open air does not. A speaker that fills a bedroom comfortably will sound quiet and thin at a picnic table in a park. For a small group at a campsite, a speaker rated at 15 to 20 watts is adequate. For a larger gathering at a pool or beach, 30 watts or more is necessary. Wattage alone does not guarantee quality at volume; what matters is whether the speaker distorts at 80 percent or higher output, which varies by model.
