Wireless & Bluetooth Speaker Reviews
Logitech UE Air Review
The UE Air Speaker is a solid addition to the AirPlay ecosystem, but we think Logitech could have delivered more features and better performance considering the price tag.
NuForce Cube Review
We review the NuForce Cube, a tiny, rechargable portable speaker, DAC and headphone amp in one cute little package
Etón Rukus Solar Review
The Etón Rukus Solar provides a good option for wireless audio on sunny days outside, with surprisingly good sound quality.
Braven 600 Review
While it may be a little more expensive than similar wireless speakers, the Braven 600 packs great audio performance and battery life into a good looking package.
iHome iP76 Review
iHome’s flashy iP76 reeled us in with color-changing LEDs, but disappointed us with mushy sound and weak lighting.
Fluance FITSD600 Review
Fluance’s FITSD600 iPhone speaker dock sets expectations high with its enormous physical size and price, and promptly dashes those expectations the moment you turn it on.
Aperion Aris Review
Aperion’s Aris wireless speaker offers outstanding sound quality and a clean, attractive look, even if its Windows 8 certification turns out to be somewhat frivolous.
Behringer iNuke Boom Junior Review
Behringer’s iNuke Boom Junior fulfills its promise of detonating your living room with an impressive amount of bass and sheer volume for the money.
Bowers & Wilkins A5 Review
Bowers & Wilkins’ A5 doesn’t come cheap, but premium design and almost unbelievably big bass distinguish it from the scrum of less expensive competitors.
Carbon Audio Zooka Review
Carbon Audio’s Zooka Bluetooth speaker augments your laptop or tablet’s built-in sound with a clever snap-on design.
Edifier Esiena iF360BT Review
Edifier’s Esiena iF360 looks sharp and comes packed with useful features, but can’t back it up with sound worthy of its price tag.
Pioneer A3 XW-SMA3-K Review
Despite its tiny size, Pioneer’s A3 XW-SMA3-K wireless speaker produces sound as big and intricate as its name, and quite a bit more beautiful.
Marshall Hanwell Review
Marshall’s Hanwell speaker rocks out just as hard as its classic good looks suggest, though a threadbare feature set and sky-high price will make it tough to justify in your living room.
Boston Acoustics MC200 Air Review
Boston Acoustics MC200Air is a quality wireless speaker with some handy features and an attractive design, but its tepid sound quality and lack of rechargeable battery quelled out enthusiasm for what we’d hope to be a first-class offering.
Hidden Radio Review
While we weren't blown away by the Hidden Radio's sound quality, its unique design, portability, and 360 degree sound pattern make it an undeniably cool little device.
Logic3 Ferrari Cavallino GT1 Review
The Logic3 Ferrari Cavallino GT1 is a beautifully designed dock with the capacity for excellent audio performance, but its use of the antiquated Bluetooth 2.0 profile limits its wireless audio quality to that of FM radio.
SoundFreaq Sound Platform 2 Review
While it can be argued that the world doesn’t need another Bluetooth speaker dock, the folks at Soundfreaq make a strong case with the Sound Platform 2, a versatile, affordable wireless speaker with sound quality that defies its price point.
Native Union Switch Review
Native Union’s Switch offers a look and feel that is well above par, and its sound quality can be quite excellent, too. But all of that goes out the window as soon as you make the “switch” from wired to wireless.
Definitive Technology Sound Cylinder Review
The Definitive Technology Sound Cylinder sets a high bar for this rather underserved product category. Part tablet stand, part laptop add-on, and 100% high-performance portable speaker, the Sound Cylinder may become the must-have audio accessory this year.
Bowers & Wilkins Z2 Review
Bowers & Wilkins trickles its signature sound and elegant aesthetic approach down to its most compact, affordable wireless speaker/dock yet.
Westinghouse UM100 Review
If you need a refrigerator, TV or solar panel, Westinghouse has you covered…but Bluetooth speakers? Believe it or not, the company best known for its appliances and TVs has come up with a portable Bluetooth speaker that sounds pretty good and is attractively priced.
Nocs NS2 Air Monitors Review
NOCS delivers another outstanding (if pricey) product with the NS2, an outstanding-sounding AirPlay speaker with enough muscle to deliver deep bass and enough finesse to resolve fine detail. Oh, and they’re super-cute, too.
Braven BRV-1 Review
Braven follows up its popular portable Bluetooth speaker line with the rugged and weatherproof BRV-1, an outdoor speaker that offers all the sonic sweetness its metallic cousins do.
G-Project G-Boom Review
For those on the hunt for a portable boom box that can hang at a construction site, inside a fishing boat or on a picnic table at the lake, the G-Boom is the speaker to take; just don’t expect a full day’s worth of playtime out of the built-in battery.
NuForce S3-BT Review
Nuforce has delivered a rare combination of attractive design, user-friendly interface, excellent sound quality and approachable price point with its S3-BT speakers.
Yamaha PDX-B11 Review
The Yamaha PDX-B11 is rugged and can certainly play loud, but with its unbalanced sound signature and lack of rechargeable battery, we must stop short of recommending it.
Cambridge Audio Minx Air 200 Review
While not inexpensive or without strong competition from some of the most respected loudspeaker manufacturers in the world, the Minx Air 200 wireless loudspeaker from Cambridge Audio delivers the audio goods when put under the spotlight.
Etón Rugged Rukus Review
When it comes to taking your tunes into the wild, a solar-powered Bluetooth speaker is the way to go. We take a look at Etón’s latest effort, the compact, light-weight and resilient Rugged Rukus.
Wren V5AP Review
The Wren V5AP is a heartbreaker of a speaker. It just about had our Editor’s Choice award when excessive port noise reared its ugly head and took it right out of the running.
Grace Digital ECOXBT Review
Wireless speakers marketed as water and weather-resistant are plentiful, but gracedigital’s Ecoxbt is one of the few that claims to be waterproof. It delivers on that end, but its wireless capabilities leave a lot to be desired.
JBL Onbeat Rumble Review
While the JBL OnBeat Rumble can get a little spicy in the treble, its powerful sound underscored by robust bass will make it attractive to listeners who want to energize a party.
Panasonic SC-NE5 Review
Panasonic’s SC-NE5 is a surprisingly well-qualified entry into the bulging wireless speaker space. Armed with a CD player, Lightning dock, FM Radio, AirPlay and Bluetooth, this is one of the most versatile wireless audio systems we’ve seen yet.
Philips Shoqbox review
By incorporating gesture control, Philips’ Shoqbox SB7200 stands out from the crowd, but the speaker was not the slam dunk we had hoped for. A spotty Bluetooth connection and lackluster sound wound up deflating our hopes.
Eton Rukus XL review
Eton’s Ruckus XL is an eye-catching, attention-grabbing solar-powered speaker with enough sonic power to super-charge any outdoor event. It earns its asking price with its sound quality alone, but its efficient solar-charging chops put it over the top in terms of value.
Panasonic SC-NT10 review
Panasonic's unsexily named SC-N10 bluetooth speaker makes up for it with great sound, ironclad armor and a low price point.
Boombotix Boombot Rex review
Built for the outdoors enthusiast, the Boombot Rex brings loud sound to nature. But does it earn your cash?
Altec Lansing the Jacket iMW455 review
The name on the speaker says Altec Lansing, but this speaker’s sound quality indicates there’s a lack of Altec’s sound engineering expertise to go with the name. Indeed, as a licensed product, the Jacket iMW455 Bluetooth speaker falls short of Altec’s legacy.
JBL Charge review
The Charge is a highly capable speaker with all best attributes of its predecessor. You don’t get a ton of bass, but you will get clear, detailed sound loud enough to peel paint off the walls.
