Portable Audio

[Maria-BBY Retired: Social Media Specialist]

In recent years there has been an explosion of bluetooth and wireless speakers (figuratively speaking of course), and after trying to blast music from the itty bitty speakers on my iPad I decided to give in and purchase one. But the question was, which one would give me the biggest bang for my buck? (get it, get it? )

After doing some research online I never imagined how many colors, and features there are to choose from! There are water-resistant speakers like the UE BOOM 2, speakers that charge your device, and even speakers that you can use as a speakerphone to answer calls like the Bose® - SoundLink® Mini Bluetooth Speaker II.  With so many choices it pretty much boiled down to how I was going to use my bluetooth speaker, and how much I was willing to spend to determine the one that was right for me. 

So I think I'm going to go with the JBL - Charge 2+ Portable Wireless Stereo Speaker. It's a bluetooth speaker with several features at a great price. I can take it fishing on the lake with me this summer because it's splash proof, and if my phone is running low on power I can charge it back up via a USB port, AND I can answer phone calls without having to put down my fishing pole. How great is that? 

What do you all think? Which portable bluetooth speaker is your favorite?

For anyone with a TV... they should research Yamaha's sound projectors, which can create surround sound without rear speakers.

No... they are not portable... but they do offer Bluetooth.

Hi, it's a tough one, because it,s hard to choose between so many brands, & which one is genuine & which one is not, so i decided to go for UE BOOM 2 bluetooth speakers.
