Bluetooth speaker

REVIEW – There’s an old saying from author Margaret Wolfe Hungerford in 1878, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Nothing proves her quote more accurately than the Trettitre TreSound1 Bluetooth speaker. Love it or loathe it, it’s a sight to behold. What is it? The Trettitre TreSound1 is a cone-shaped table-top Bluetooth speaker […]

REVIEW – Since I started testing and reviewing gadgets for the Gadgeteer, I have been able to enjoy several different sizes, brands, and types of portable Bluetooth speakers with various capabilities. I could possibly be referred to as some sort of collector since I still have and play off of them at one time or

REVIEW – Bluetooth speakers – they’re everywhere.  This new one from EarFun intrigued me for a couple of reasons.  Let me explain.  I use a Bluetooth speaker in my golf cart – my primary form of transportation here in the world’s largest retirement community.  I place it in an overhead tray just above and behind

REVIEW – As the holidays approach, you may be thinking of either giving—or getting—a Bluetooth speaker as a gift. Unfortunately (or fortunately), there are so many to choose from, I almost feel sorry for the person who has to choose. I pay close attention to what’s available and I’m overwhelmed. Besides the big players in

REVIEW – Portable audio is such a common thing today. People are always listening to music, podcasts, videos, etc., on wired headphones, Bluetooth headphones, the speaker on their phone, a portable speaker, whatever.

REVIEW – I know about Edifier’s reputation for speaker products  (my son has a pair for his turntable), but now I have something new to play with! We’re looking at the Edifier WiFi Smart Speaker, which promises powerful sound with Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity. Does it rock? Does it whimper? To the review! What is

REVIEW – I will state up front that I love portable Bluetooth speakers. It doesn’t matter how big or small they are, how expensive or cheap they are, or how good or bad they sound—well, scratch the bad-sounding part. I like them because I listen to music all the time. And so I use different

REVIEW – We just opened our pool for the season and I wanted to be able to play music outside.  Obviously, the concern being that I want to have speakers and gadgets out there that are waterproof, especially with kids jumping in and out and splashing everywhere.  I got to try out the MIFA A90

adjective: Portable able to be easily carried or moved, especially because being of a lighter and smaller version than usual. Notice that when you look up the word “portable” in the dictionary, you don’t find any reference to the new Soundboks Go portable speaker. It’s true that the $700 Go speaker is a lighter and

REVIEW – I live in the Pacific Northwest where it rains, a lot. I try to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible and if you want to listen to some music while outside with others you need a waterproof speaker. Enter the Tronsmart Trip waterproof Bluetooth speaker. Let us see if it can hold up

REVIEW – Finally after what seems to have been a never-ending winter, the Spring season is in the air and it is almost warm enough to sit on the deck at night again warmed by the firepit and relaxed by my favorite smooth contemporary jazz playing in the background. For the past couple of years,

REVIEW – There are two things most good parties have in common, loud music and colorful lights. The Tronsmart Bang is a portable Bluetooth speaker that promises both things. I was recently given the opportunity to check one out. Here are my thoughts on whether it lives up to the moniker of being a party

REVIEW – A year and a half ago, I reviewed the Tribit StormBox Micro, calling it the audio bargain of the year. I use that little speaker every day, either in the bathroom while showering or in the kitchen while doing dishes. It has become part of my daily life. Since that review, Tribit has

REVIEW – Speakers – we need them to share the music and words we’re listening to, and there are a bazillion options out there. Today, I’m going to review the Monoprice Harmony Capsule 200 speaker, which is a capsule/cylinder-shaped speaker system. What is it? The Monoprice Harmony Capsule 200 is a black tubular Bluetooth speaker

REVIEW – Do you like music? Do you like disco? (Not judging) Do you like clubbing? Do you not like your budget? If so, we may have the perfect personal portable Bluetooth speaker – the Tribit XSound Mega. Why is it perfect? Technically, it’s not, but it may be perfect for your needs.    What
