Our favorite tiny computer speakers have been upgraded with louder sound, more input options, and a new mode that doubles the audio intensity. Also at about 5 pounds, these aren’t going into your purse.-Crackling at max volume -Won’t replace your home theater system
Also, while they do charge via solar, the solar array is too small to keep up with speaker or charging devices. They sound great but not in the same class as the smaller Logitech Boombox. I didn’t have a review unit in time but I did get to play with them at CES.
#Best blue tooth speaker for mac Bluetooth
Speaking of battery backups, Eton Rukus ($129) offers a larger Bluetooth speaker that charges via the sun and also allows you to charge your other devices via USB. These are both great choices if you want something louder than a Jambox that still looks good and also functions as a backup battery for your phone. Both say that they will last for 10 hours which I think might be a little optimistic especially while charging your phone. They both include a USB port for charging your phone and keeping it going, which is very useful. They sound significantly louder than the Jambox but perhaps not quite as clear. The RockSteadyXS ( $99) and the Braven 570 ($120) units we tried are solid options shaped like the original Jambox with a nice looking metal covering in a variety of colors. A bonus is that you can plug AUX speakers or headphones into this to make them wireless as well, something Logitech doesn’t offer above, and our ‘price not an object’ winner below does offer…īest Sound/Portability at any price: Beats Pill ($155^). Important note on quality here: there are hundreds of similar-looking small cylindrical speakers out there, but none that I’ve tried come close to this one. It fits in cup-holders and still sound good, which is a big bonus. Neither the mic nor the Bluetooth range is as good as Logitech’s UE Mini Boombox, but you have to manage your expectations considering for the $29-$49 price. I got about 6 hours of speaker time out of this one, including a few conference calls.
The cylindrical shape speaker/mic is about half the volume and weight of a can of soda. The Bluetune sounds almost as good as the much larger Jawbone Jambox but at half the size.
There’s a reason Amazon reviewers are going nuts over this thing. Update: October Logitech updated and it is still the best. (We tried recording sample audio with the Blue Sparq Mic shown above, but YouTube distorted the audio… okay, it was really just me, my family, and friends comparing sound.) Rather than taking you through all the intricacies of our testing, let’s just skip to the best part. (Update: We’ve since reviewed the JBL Charge and Bose Soundlink Mini, both of which merit attention.) We’re here to help you pick the right speaker with the right features on the right budget. But as Jordan noted to me during our CES coverage, there must be 100,000 Bluetooth speakers to choose from including a growing horde of no name brands OEM’ed from fly-by-night Chinese companies.
#Best blue tooth speaker for mac portable
There’s no better way to enjoy sound outside than with a portable bluetooth speaker. Spring is finally here and it is time to bring our music and speakerphones outside. TL DR: Overall winner (updated), Best Value, Best sound, Best Portable/Sound, Charger too, Apps/Updates, more Updated for 2015! The Best Bluetooth Speakers review has now moved here!
