Bluetooth speaker

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

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

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

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

MPOW has recently come out with a new Bluetooth 4.0 speaker which I really like.  I have quite a few portable speakers in my collection but this one is now my favorite.  Like all of my speakers you can plug it into your phone or iPod via the headphone jack.  Nothing new or special there. 

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

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

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

Music is everywhere these days, thanks to its digital portability and instant availability on iPods, smartphones and other devices the world over. But the tiny speakers aboard these devices aren’t exactly suited to rocking out loud.  That’s why the portable speaker market has boomed (pun intended) the past several years, with wireless Bluetooth connectivity one of the

One of the fun parts of buying Apple products is the unboxing. You just know that any company that spends that much time and effort on packaging will spend even more effort on the product inside. Bowers and Wilkins products are like that. Unboxing their many headphones is almost as much fun as using them.

I’m starting to lean away from portable, battery-operated speakers for my home listening needs, since I don’t move them around much.  Hopefully, something larger and mostly stationary produces better quality sound.  How does the Fluance Fi50 bluetooth speaker stack up?

I’ve been on a personal quest to find the “perfect” Bluetooth speaker.  This time, I get to check out one unit that struck me with handsome good looks from The House of Marley called the Get Together.  Do sound and function match outward appearances?
