You name the event, chances are good we have brought along a Bluetooth speaker. Why? They’re portable, functional, and turn everything into a good […]

Fortunately, we’re happy to report that the portable Bluetooth speaker has been upgraded and is slimmer and better than ever as the Sound Blaster Roar 2.

Going four years between product and refresh is almost unheard of in this day and age, but so it goes with an audio company that tends not to release products unless they’re of a high caliber. The original Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin was released in 2007, back in the days of iPod speaker docks — […]
The JBL Charge 2+ is quite possibly the best portable bluetooth speaker on the market right now. We felt the same way about the predecessor, the JBL Charge, when it came out two years ago. The JBL Charge 2+ is a Bluetooth speaker with a large battery that not only powers your tunes, but will […]

In what I can only assume is the culmination of a decade-long plot by Sony to milk Aiwa for brand nostalgia by killing it and resurrecting it nine years later, we have new Aiwa stuff! You might remember Aiwa as an electronics company big into audio equipment before business dried up and they were bought […]

SOL Republic’s PUNK is their tiniest Bluetooth speaker yet, and the company’s first entry into the ultraportable Bluetooth speaker arena. This little speaker is small enough to hold in one hand and carry around in some pockets. But don’t let its petite size fool you, because it’s a lot more powerful then most other ultraportable […]
A portable speaker with FIVE drivers? Yep, that’s Creative’s Sound Blaster Roar, which is actually more than just a bluetooth speaker.

Last year, Sol Republic came out with their first ever speaker, the Deck. We thought it was a fun, if underpowered take on the portable Bluetooth wireless speaker, with Heist Mode as a particularly unique addition. Heist Mode gives control of the music to five different devices at the same time, setting the stage for […]

Sol Republic is following up last year’s Deck wireless speaker with Punk, a tiny rugged portable speaker. The Sol Republic Punk is tiny but tough, with dust, water, and shock resistance.

Bose’s popular SoundLink Bluetooth Speaker has just been updated. The SoundLink III features an all-new design, longer battery life, and accessory covers in five colors. That said, while the SoundLink Bluetooth Speaker III certainly isn’t the affordable option, it packs enough audio power into a portable frame to possibly be worth it. Despite being just 10” […]

Jam is taking a trip back to the ’80s with Jam Rewind, a portable Bluetooth speaker shaped like a cassette tape – and yeah, the cassette tape case is part of the good times, too. The speaker itself comes in the guise of a cassette tape, but the music coming out of it is going […]
