Are Session 540 Portable Speakers Waterproof?

Pretty much. As long as you're not taking them into the deep end of the pool, these speakers can handle water no problem.

How Do I Link Session 540 With Other Portable Speakers?

With party mode you can link your Session 540 speaker with up to 99 other Session series speakers.

With your Session 540 powered on, you can start party mode by pressing and holding the party mode button for 1 second. Release after you hear an audio tone. You have started a party, and this is now your “HOST” speaker. The HOST speaker will start a broadcast that other Session speakers can find. Like a radio station, the HOST will only broadcast music. All other functions, like Volume and Bass boost will be controlled separately on each individual speaker.

To add a “GUEST” speaker to the party, don’t worry about disconnecting any devices. Simply press and hold the Party mode button for 3 seconds. Release once you have heard two audio tones.

You are now linked in party mode. Repeat "GUEST" steps for as many other Session speakers as needed.

With True Wireless Stereo, your Session speakers can create true left and right stereo sound to play full, and more immersive music.

With your Session speakers on, and connected to each other using party mode, triple tap the party mode button. You will have to perform this function for both the HOST and GUEST speakers individually.

Your speakers are now in true wireless stereo mode.

Once both speakers are in true wireless stereo mode, the HOST will act as the LEFT speaker, and the GUEST will act as the RIGHT speaker.

How Long Is the Battery Life on Session 540 Portable Speakers?

Fully charged, Session 540 Portable Speakers have about 17 hours of battery life.

How Quick Can I Charge Session 540 Portable Speakers?

The sound is great, the

"The sound is great, the strap is very durable, and the quality is fantastic."

— Jose P. (5/5)

I like the product, but

"I like the product, but I expected more of a bass boost out of this speaker. I am having issues with turning this speaker off and I am still unsure if this speaker is turned off completely. I do want to know why the speaker is considered waterproof when the charging port is completely open with no cover on it? If this speaker was waterproof, wouldn’t the charging port for the product have to be covered and protected with a flush rubber seal?"

— Angela S. (3/5)

Love such great bass and

"Love such great bass and when I'm chilling in the backyard 😎 perfectly hangs from anywhere next to the bbq or move somewhere else love the sound 😄"

— Nicole A. (5/5)

I wish I could give

"I wish I could give this speaker a higher rating because it does sound pretty good for it's size. Unfortunately the battery life is pretty poor. Skullcandy claims an average battery life of 17 hours but I've never gotten more than six hours, even at a pretty moderate volume, before it gives me an audible warning that the battery needs to charge. Maybe I got one that is messed up or has a faulty battery. Six hours is the best I've gotten. I use it pretty much daily at work and I always have to keep a charger in my pocket. It's really a shame because I love Skullcandy's headphones. I've had the original Cruhers, the Crusher EVO, and now the new Aviator 900 ANC's. Plus I pretty much always have a pair of Push earbuds in my pocket. All have served me well. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to use headphones in the busy kitchen at work (safety hazard)"

— Jared F. (2/5)

The strap holds very nicely

"The strap holds very nicely and firmly onto things, the quality of the speaker itself is fantastic, the sound it can produce is super clean, sharp, and even. Will be buying more soon"

— Fluffington R. (5/5)

Good sound. Love the option

"Good sound. Love the option to hook up other speakers. Dislike I can't control volume from it."

— Juan T. (4/5)

Solid speaker overall, some weird

"Solid speaker overall, some weird tech glitches with powering it on and off - app also has occasional issues. Love the magnet!"

— David B. (4/5)

Good and should be what

"Good and should be what I expected from its size and volume. I just wish it was a bit punchier, but overall not bad. Its a solid performer."

— Jessica C. (4/5)

Versatility is nice but it

"Versatility is nice but it lacks volume. . . I was hoping to use it in my garage vs the older, bass driven JBL 4. . . However despite being almost 10 years old the JBL brings higher output vs the Session 540 too. . ."

— Jeff H. (4/5)
