Have you ever been getting ready in the morning, staring into your bathroom mirror and thinking why can’t this play music? Of course you have, and because this problem occurs for many of us every single morning, speaker manufacturer iHome just released a welcome solution to this issue: the iHome Vanity Mirror Speaker.

Literally exactly what it sounds like, iHome’s innovative new speaker setup is a double-sided vanity mirror that boasts Bluetooth audio and speakerphone playback along with a USB outlet for charging your music player of choice. It might not blow you away sonically, but hey, it’s better than listening to your upstairs neighbor stomp around all morning.

Humor aside, iHome says it created its new vanity speaker to be “as elegant and full-featured as any vanity available.” Consider these guidelines well achieved as the New Jersey-based company included 250 lux Full Spectrum LED lighting, 1x and 7x magnification dual-sided mirror, an auxiliary input port, and a 1 amp USB charging port — in addition to its Bluetooth capability. Depending on a customer’s preferred of mirror size, iHome offers the Vanity Mirror Speaker in 6-inch ($100) and 9-inch ($150) varieties.

“This vanity is the perfect addition to any makeup lover’s stash and is an ideal gift for the woman — or man — who has everything,” says Evan Stein, SDI Technologies’ Director of Marketing. “This new line of high-quality vanity mirrors further cements iHome’s dedication to creating innovative and in-demand products that appeal to the consumer that craves a fully connected life.”

In addition to its aforementioned feature suite, the mirror also boasts a rechargeable battery that’s capable of running up to four hours at a time on a full charge, as well as a power-saving timer that automatically turns the LED light off when not in use. The Vanity Mirror Speaker even lets users take hands-free phone calls with buttons that control volume and allow them to answer calls or hang up. Both models are currently available via iHome’s website; now’s the time to bring your bathroom into the 21st Century.

This tiny Ikea waterproof Bluetooth speaker is just $15
Ikea Vappeby Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker in black.

Ikea is well known for selling attractively designed products at reasonable prices, but its latest Bluetooth speaker is priced so low that even Amazon might not be able to compete. The Vappeby waterproof portable Bluetooth speaker, as its name suggests, is tiny, waterproof, and surprisingly cheap at $15.

The tiny, silicone-wrapped speaker measures only three inches square and is just two inches thick. For reference, that's about as wide as an iPhone 14 in portrait mode. It comes with its own lanyard cord, which you could use to hang the Vappeby in a shower as Ikea shows in its photos, or you could simply use it as a wrist strap. It's available in three colors: yellow, black, or red, and if you buy two of them, they can be used as a stereo pair.

Bluetooth on Sonos’ new Era speakers isn’t what you think – it’s better
Sonos Era 300 close-up of Bluetooth button.

When Sonos recently debuted its two newest wireless speakers -- the Era 100 and Era 300 -- it broke with years of precedence by adding Bluetooth, a connection option that has never been offered on the company’s non-portable speakers. At the time, I thought Bluetooth on an Era speaker worked the same way as it does on the Sonos Move. I was wrong.

It turns out, the Era speakers use Bluetooth in tandem with their Wi-Fi connections, as opposed to the Move, which treats Bluetooth as a completely separate mode. That has some profound implications for what you can do with one of the new Era speakers within a Sonos system, as well as a few caveats about what you can’t do.

Sonos’ new Era 100 and Era 300 wireless speakers go all-in on spatial audio and Bluetooth

Sonos has officially unveiled two new wireless smart speakers -- the $249 Sonos Era 100, and the $449 Sonos Era 300. While the Era 100 is effectively a new version of the aging Sonos One, which it replaces, the Era 300 is an entirely new type of speaker for the company, with six drivers (including an up-firing tweeter) and compatibility with spatial audio formats like Dolby Atmos.

The leaks pretty much nailed it. Both speakers will be available on March 28 in 26 countries including the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the U.K., Ireland, Germany, and Australia, with preorders beginning March 7.
