I am always intrigued by the various shapes, and sizes, and specifications of the Bluetooth speakers that are available on the market today. I have listened to Sony, JBL, Pioneer, and a bunch of others, and generally they all sound at least acceptable. For many years, I was a big fan of Altec Lansing computer

Earlier this year I was hiking with the Boy Scouts, where we came across another group of hikers. One of them had music playing on one of those clip-on bluetooth speakers attached to a backpack, which was a little annoying since we were out in nature. I won’t become a noise polluter, but I was

IKEA is known for assemble-it-yourself furniture and home furnishings. Although they do have some tables and lamps with built-in wireless charging pads, they aren’t really known for electronics.

I don’t know about you, but I really enjoy being able to take my music with me anywhere I go.

My previous portable speaker had been stolen, so I was in luck

I *may* have gone overboard in my testing on this one. With great sound and a shockproof design, the Tsumbay Mini Portable Speaker is a nice little runabout for playing your tunes on the go. But I found out the hard way that there are limits to its water resistance. It’s a tragic tale. Let’s

It’s no secret that Master & Dynamic make some of my favorite headphones. Not only do the MH40, MW50 and MW60 sound great, they are also quite comfortable and have a retro look that’s simply stunning.

These days I really don’t pay attention to bluetooth speakers, unless there’s something really unique about it. The BenQ treVolo S stood out due to it’s unusual “folding” configuration… and electrostatic speakers? What is it? I know BenQ from their video products (I have two of their 4K displays at work), but not Bluetooth speakers.

As smartphones have become more prevalent, people have become used to having all of their information and entertainment with them 24/7. That growth has sparked a surge in portable wireless speakers.

These massive new generation boomboxes have replaced the old cassette and CD driven monsters from the 80s with better sound and much better ease of use.
