Pinned Golf Sound Stick Magnetic Speaker

The Sound Stick is a music-only magnetic golf speaker from Pinned with dual drivers, an IPX7 rating and a 15-plus hour battery.

Why it made the list

If you already carry a rangefinder or wear a GPS watch, you do not need to pay for yardages twice. The Sound Stick skips the GPS and puts the money into sound, battery and a strong magnet. It snaps onto a steel cart bar and plays music for the whole round and then some.

Pinned lists it at $150, and it sells for $99.99 at Pinned and PlayBetter as of November 6, 2026, well below the GPS speakers on our list.

What it does well

• Dual drivers give it more bass than a typical small speaker.
• Pinned rates the battery for 15 or more hours.
• IPX7 means rain and spilled drinks are not a worry.
• Pair two Sound Sticks for party mode or surround sound.
• Six colors to match your bag or cart.

The long battery is a quiet advantage. With no GPS running, it can usually play two rounds between charges.

Who it’s for

This fits cart riders who handle distances with a laser or watch and just want good music. It is also an easy gift, since there is no app to set up and no membership to explain. Charge it, pair it with your phone over Bluetooth, stick it on the cart bar and it is ready to play.

Who should skip it

If you want yardages from your speaker, this does not do that. Look at the Sound Stick PRO or another GPS speaker instead. Walkers who carry may want something smaller that clips to a bag.

Key specs, explained

IPX7 means the speaker can survive a brief dunk in water, so a rain shower or a wet cup holder will not hurt it. Bluetooth 5.0 with a listed 150-foot range means your phone can stay in your pocket or the cart basket. It charges by USB-C, and the cord is in the box along with a device registration guide and an instruction manual.

How it compares

The Blue Tees Player Go GPS Speaker costs a little more and adds spoken front, center and back yardages, plus a 16-plus hour battery claim. The Bushnell Wingman Mini GPS Speaker is smaller and adds audible GPS, but it is rated for a shorter 10 hours. Choose the Sound Stick if sound and battery matter more than built-in distances.

Good to know

Background music is allowed under the Rules of Golf, but Rule 4.3 bars using audio to block distractions or help your swing tempo. Many clubs also have their own rules on speakers, so keep the volume down and ask before you play. Pinned includes a one-year warranty.
