20200306 134401

REVIEW – I’ve owned and tried many different “truly wireless” earbuds over the past few years, but haven’t tried one yet that also included a speaker in the charging case.  Will these earbuds be another forgettable model aside from the extra speaker, or will they stand out from the crowded herd of options in this

Braven BRV-XXL/2 Bluetooth speaker review – Big. Heavy. and Loud.

Braven BRV XXL 2 2

REVIEW – When Braven was owned by another company, they had a slew of speakers to choose from—almost too many. After they were purchased by accessory maker Zagg, Braven drastically trimmed their speaker line. One speaker—the BRV-XXL—survived the cut in the form of the updated BRV-XXL/2. I only say updated rather than improved because, in

Braven BRV-X/2 Rugged Portable Speaker review

Braven BRV X2 10

REVIEW – After a seemingly endless supply of Braven product to review, things kinda dried up when Zagg purchased Braven from Incipio.

REVIEW – There’s nothing like a hot shower to wash away the day’s troubles, or simply to ease some aches and pains if you don’t have any troubles.  What could make that better?  Music, of course!  Anything else?  Sure – your old pal, Alexa, ready to do your bidding as you wash, rinse and repeat.

Roland BTM-1 Bluetooth Speaker review

BTM1 01

REVIEW – Bluetooth speakers are not hard to find. They come in all shapes and sizes. Guitar amps are also readily available and many now support Bluetooth.

Braven gets even more rugged with BRV speaker collection

Braven BRV 2

NEWS – Over the past few years, I have reviewed many Braven portable Bluetooth speakers and have liked all of them—some more than others. When Incipio sold Braven to ZAGG last year, it seemed much of Braven’s speaker line began to disappear. No more. This year, Braven has added four new speakers to its BRV

Creative MUVO Play portable and waterproof Bluetooth speaker review

Creative MUVO Play 3

REVIEW – In my years of reviewing portable Bluetooth speakers, one of my all-time favorites is the Creative iRoar speaker. It’s becoming a cliché, but that little desktop monster sounds way bigger than its size. The iRoar is that rare Bluetooth speaker you can listen to all day without wishing you had something bigger or
