Wireless & Bluetooth Speaker Reviews
Beats Pill XL review
The Beats Pill XL is a magnum-sized version of the original Pill Bluetooth speaker. With it comes bigger bass response, longer battery life and a larger overall sound. But how about quality? How does the Pill XL stand up to its competition in the market? We found out.
Harman Kardon Nova 2.0 review
Harman Kardon’s new Nova speakers are unlike any we’ve seen in the desktop genre. Molded into clear plastic globes, the Nova pack a potent arsenal of sonic hardware. We take a closer look to see if they accomplish their goal of marrying form and function to outgun an expanding field of competition.

IK Multimedia’s iLoud goes far beyond the boundaries of a standard Bluetooth speaker, packing a wallop of features that allow users to tote around a wireless speaker and portable music studio at the same time.
Carbon Audio Pocket Speaker review
Carbon Audio issues another winner in the form of its brand new Pocket Speaker, a shockingly loud Bluetooth speaker that actually fits comfortably in your pocket, offers solid sound quality and makes a terrific speakerphone, to boot.
Sonos Play:1 review
We review the Sonos Play:1, the most affordable in the company’s extensive line of high-end wireless speakers, and find a standout device as capable as it is flexible.
Libratone Loop review
The Libratone Loop is a looker of a speaker, and with the unexpected inclusion of ribbon-style tweeters, it reads like an audiophile’s dream. Unfortunately, we found the treble could quickly spin out of control, with the midrange taking a hit in the process.
Sol Republic Deck review
Bluetooth speakers have become so common that in order to stand out, one needs to offer something (or several things) the other guys don’t. The Sol Republic Deck does exactly that.
Braven 850 review
Braven wisely follows up on the success of its model 600 wireless speaker with this super-sized version, the Braven 850. As we had hoped, it offers more of everything we loved about the smaller version, and then some.
Samsung DA-E750 Review
Samsung taps tubes for a softer sound in the high-end DA-E750 iPod dock – and it sounds great whether you credit the analog tech or not.

Good looks, solid controls, and massive volume are all on the side of Vizio’s affordable Sonos competitor, but a hefty helping of bass clouds the picture.

The Soundboks Go may be its smallest speaker to date, but it's still a loud party in a box, and it will fit right in anytime you want to draw a crowd.

It's tough to stand out in the Bluetooth speaker crowd, but the Marshall Emberton's iconic guitar-amp design gives it an edge. Its huge battery also helps.

Pyle PSBV200BT Review
Pyle’s inexpensive PSBV200BT sound bar delivers the sort of bombastic bass that adds excitement to movies and TV shows, but its mediocre music performance and poor Bluetooth audio quality have us wondering if the speaker really is a good deal.
