how we test ipod speaker docks benq trevolo table 2

BenQ treVolo review

TreVolo has enough precision to satisfy the most discerning Bluetooth critic, but where’s the fun in a wireless speaker that can’t blast sound from across the room?
UE Megaboom Ultimate Ears speaker review wide

UE Megaboom review

While the price is certainly not for the timid, UE’s Megaboom follows up the company’s extremely successful Boom Bluetooth speaker with bigger sound, stronger armor, and the best Bluetooth range in the biz.
cambridge audio bluetone 100 review bluenote front full

Cambridge Audio Bluetone 100 review

Cambridge Audio’s Bluetone 100 leverages the company’s proprietary BMR drivers to deliver a powerful punch and wide stereo image from a compact speaker. However, with no rechargeable battery option, the speaker isn’t as portable as its peers.
JBL Charge 2 front

JBL Charge 2 review

Playing off the success of its original Charge speaker, JBL’s Charge 2 goes all out to upstage its predecessor, offering new features, more power, and dual passive radiators to slap on class-leading bass response.
Harman Kardon Esquire Mini front full

Harman Kardon Esquire Mini review

Harman Kardon’s new found talent for chic design has never been more evident than in its elegant new Esquire Mini speaker. Unfortunately, the speaker’s sound signature is nearly as thin as its frame.
Denon Heos 7 front full

Denon Heos 7 review

Denon’s Heos system is an ambitious first effort. However, app inconsistencies and a lack of detail in the sound have it coming up a bit short of our expectations.
TDK Trek Max review front

TDK TREK Max A34 review

Weatherproof, and loud as a jet turbine, TDK’s A34 makes a strong case to be your next Bluetooth buddy.
Sony SRS X9 front grill

Sony SRS-X9 review

Sony’s SRS-X9 is a tour de force of elegant style and high-performance sound, but it will cost you.
JBL L8 BT

JBL Authentic L8 review

The JBL Authentic L8’s design harkens back to one of the company’s classic speakers, but its features and function are thoroughly modern. Find out why the L8 is one of the finest of its type that we’ve ever tested.
Anker MP141 front full

Anker MP141 review

You might not be familiar with Anker as a maker of audio products, but its MP141 might just be the best under-$50 speaker we’ve tested yet, with excellent battery life, a slick look, and solid sound quality.
Harman Kardon Onyx Studio front

Harman Kardon Onyx Studio review

Harman Kardon's new Onyx Studio Bluetooth speaker matches minimalist design, portability, and powerful sound to offer an enticing choice as a singular audio solution for the home. Check out our full review to see if this sleek little dish should be featured in your space.
Soundfreaq SoundRise front side angle

Soundfreaq Sound Rise SFQ-05 review

Soundfreaq’s new Sound Rise may be one of the best alarm clocks on the market. But does the company make its latest version intuitive enough to make it worth replacing your smartphone for your morning routine?
Klipsch Stadium review wireless speaker app angle 2

Klipsch Stadium review

The Stadium is an all-in-one audio solution that avoids almost all of the trappings of similar products. Simply put, you’ve never heard anything like this before, but you really, really should.
Klipsch KMC-1 speaker front offset 2

Klipsch KMC-1 review

Klipsch serves up another entry in its KMC Bluetooth speaker series with the KMC 1. We take the portable for a long test run to find out if it can pull off full-sized power as a mid-sized model.
Edifier E25 Luna Eclipse review front angles

Edifier E25 Luna Eclipse review

Edifier continues to build eye-catching speakers that perform as good as they look. The e25 Luna Eclipse are one of the company’s best designs to date, and the sound quality they offer at $200 is off the charts.
Beats By Dre PillXL front angle

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.
IUI Design MINI Mirror Boombox left angle

IUI Design Mini Mirror Boombox review

iUi Design’s latest creation is a Bluetooth speaker shaped like the side view mirror on a Mini Cooper, allowing you to take a miniature piece of the vaunted British racecar anywhere. It certainly looks cool, but how does it sound?
Pansonic SC NA30P front angle

Panasonic SC-NA30P review

Panasonic’s new SC-NA30 is an attractive little portable speaker that combines a host of features, powerful sound, and extended battery life. But unlike the last two Panasonic speakers we tested, this one has one notable problem.
IK Multimedia iLoud front left

IK Multimedia iLoud review

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.
Bose SoundTouch 20 fullremote1

Bose SoundTouch 20 review

Bose’s first go at a wireless network speaker feels a lot like a Sonos product, but comes with some clever features as well as Bose’s signature sound.
Libratone speaker front

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.
Klipsch Gig BT front angle

Klipsch GiG review

Klipsch’s GiG Bluetooth speaker surprises with firm bass and impressive stereo separation from a very small package, but minor pairing and control issues mar its usability.  
Phillips SoundShooter side

Philips SoundShooter SBT30 review

If you’re about to pick up one of those bargain bin Bluetooth speakers this holiday season, then don’t. Stepping up a few notches to something like the Philips SoundShooter will be worth the added investment.
Samsung Shape M7 fullfront

Samsung Shape M7 review

With the Shape M7, Samsung took a working wireless audio formula and embellished it with additional functionality and its own personality. Wondering how it would stack up to Sonos, we put the M7 through its paces.
soundcast melody review left side angle

SoundCast Melody review

In a market increasingly cluttered with outdoor-ready, portable speakers, the Soundcast Melody stands out as one of the best sounding portables we’ve ever heard. We’re talking audiophile-grad stuff here, ready to take on the elements and last well into the night.
Panasonic-SC-NP10-ipad-dock-angle

Panasonic SC-NP10 review

When is a speaker dock not a dock at all? When it’s the Panasonic SC-NP10 wireless speaker. Part tablet stand and part Bluetooth speaker, the SC-NP10 turns mobile video devices into mini home theaters.
Carbon-Audio-Pocket-Speaker-tilted

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-Play1-speaker-solo

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.
Cambridge Audio Minx Go full

Cambridge Audio Minx Go review

While you might not expect a premium brand like Cambridge Audio to come out strong with a budget audio device, its Minx Go Bluetooth speaker is a mighty offering at palatable price point.
Marshall Standmore BT Speaker front angle

Marshall Stanmore review

A follow-up to the Hanwell, Marshall’s Stanmore delivers cutting-edge tech in a more compact package; but its sound quality, while good, doesn’t match the price tag.
Ultimate Ears Mini Boom front profile

Ultimate Ears Mini Boom review

It is rare that a speaker delivers on its “big sound, small package” promise as well as the UE Mini Boom does. As compact portable Bluetooth speakers go, the Mini Boom is one of the biggest-sounding there is.
grace digital GDI BTSP207 Bluetooth speakers front top

Grace Digital GDI-BTSP201 Review

Grace Digital’s compact Bluetooth bookshelf speakers offer stereo separation and a more traditional driver arrangement than most single-cabinet options. But how’s the sound quality? We found out.
Bose SoundLink Mini front

Bose SoundLink Mini review

Bose delivers on its big sound from a tidy package promise with its SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker. Though the bass tended to spiral out of control at times, it provided rich midrange and detailed treble that never failed to impress all who heard it.
SOL Republic Deck front angle

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.
