Vava Voom Bluetooth speaker review

vava voom 1

In my never-ending quest to find the perfect Bluetooth speaker, I’ve managed to collect several small, rugged speakers. What I haven’t gotten my hands on is a good Bluetooth speaker that is powerful enough to use at a party and stylish enough to not have to hide. While marching forth on my epic audio journey,

Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Wireless speaker review

Bowers Wilkins Zeppelin 1

Back in 2011, I reviewed the then new Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air Speaker/Dock. It was—and still is—an incredible speaker that blows away most wireless speakers. After the review, my wife “helped herself” to it, so it now sits on top of her piano facing the kitchen where she can use Apple Airplay to stream

TIBO Plus 3 active speaker system w/Bluetooth review

Tibo Plus 3 12

I know I’ve said this before, but one of my favorite things about reviewing products is being pleasantly surprised because a product performs better than I expected. It also makes it harder to review, because it is much easier to explain why you don’t like something than it is explaining why you do like it.

Creative Sound Blaster Roar 2 portable Bluetooth speaker review

Creative Roar 2 9

One of my all-time favorite and best sounding portable speakers is the Creative Sound Blaster Roar. Its combination of powerful audio, Bluetooth and unbelievably low price make the Roar a rarity in portable audio. Yet, as good as the Roar is, Creative saw ways to improve upon its already impressive features and created the Sound

Go big or go home … Fluance goes big with the Fi70 Bluetooth speaker

Fluance Fi70

Whether the new Fluance Fi70 Bluetooth speaker is the best sounding Bluetooth speaker as Fluance claims remains to be seen. Only a review can determine that, but the Fi70 may qualify as the largest Bluetooth speaker yet. This 81 lb. monster will certainly fill a large room with high quality audio. At the core of

HEOS One 2

When it comes to multiroom music systems, Sonos is the king. However, being the king makes you a target and Denon has Sonos in its sights . Denon’s ammunition is HEOS (Home Entertainment Operating System). This system ranges from the small HEOS 1 speaker to full-blown wireless home theater systems. The HEOS 1 is the

Polk Boom Swimmer Duo and Swimmer Jr Bluetooth speakers review

Pokl Boom Swimmer Duo Jr 1

Portable Bluetooth speakers are everywhere nowadays. They are small, large, rugged looking or fashion forward. Polk knows the market is loaded with competition at many price points so they designed the Swimmer a few years ago, a portable waterproof Bluetooth speaker. Fast forward a few years and now Polk has moved the Swimmer design forward

Braven 705 portable wireless speaker review

braven 705 1

There are so many speakers entering the portable speaker market, that I have bought my previous two based on a slick deal, aka price, and that’s about it. That means I’ve stayed in the sub-50 dollar range of speakers. I was given the opportunity to review a speaker that seemed twice as nice as my

Dashbon Flicks is a Bluetooth speaker that plays tunes and video

dashbon flicks

If you’ve been shopping for a Bluetooth speaker recently, you’ve found that they come in almost every color you can imagine,  as well as  many shapes and sizes. How does a speaker manufacturer set their speaker apart from the 1000’s of other speakers on the market? What if they added a projector to the speaker,

I’ve done a couple of Bluetooth speaker reviews in my short time with The Gadgeteer and have had the good fortune to review some really nice speakers. Despite that, I keep volunteering to review speakers because I really love listening to music. Reviewing these speakers gives me an excuse to blast some music and get

Inateck MarsBox Bluetooth speaker review

I’m always on the lookout for a great Bluetooth speaker. I have speakers that are waterproof and water-resistant, large and small, poor quality and high quality, but I have yet to own a speaker with an intergrated FM radio….until now. The Inateck MarsBox is a stereo Bluetooth speaker that has a built-in FM radio for

Thonet and Vander multiplies the Kürbis speaker by 2 and calls it Hoch

TandV Hoch 1

When I reviewed the Thonet and Vander Kürbis Bt Bluetooth speaker, I was impressed how such an inexpensive speaker could sound so good. Thonet and Vander are new to the U.S. market and are expanding their product selection with the new Hoch speaker. The Hoch and Kürbis speakers are identical looking except the Hoch is

The new and improved Bowers and Wilkins Zeppelin leaves the dock behind

BW zeppelinwireless

A few years ago, Bowers & Wilkins set the bar on speakers designed for the (then) new digital music age with their iconic Zeppelin speaker. Nothing looks like it—then or now. It’s a design standard in form and function. Time marches on and the new Zeppelin ditches the dock and goes totally wireless incorporating Apple’s

Braven Balance Bluetooth speaker review

Braven Balance 1

It’s no secret I really like Braven speakers. Their small 600 series of speakers were sonic wonders which Braven eventually replaced with the newer 700 series. However, it was the 850 the knocked it out of the ballpark for me. When new, this large and heavy Bluetooth speaker blew away every other Bluetooth speaker I

Boombotix Boombot Rex Bluetooth speaker review

I think I’ve said before, in an attempt to be fiscally responsible (cheap), I try to do most home repairs and renovations myself. I often enlist the help of my children and employ them as my gofer’s. If you ask my children what the most important part of any job is, they will tell you

Thonet and Vander Kürbis Bt Bluetooth speakers review

Thonet and Vander Kürbis 13

Over the past couple of years, I’ve become a fan of small (and not so small) portable Bluetooth speakers. Yeah I know, they don’t have the audio chops to qualify as anything near “audiophile” and stereo separation is almost nonexistent. But despite all that, they are portable and that counts for a lot. But what
