There are plenty of bluetooth speakers that are on the market. While it would be impossible for me to describe ALL of the bluetooth speakers on the market I do hope to give you an idea on several of your options.
Bose – The Bose Soundlink Computer Speaker is the most expensive option that I will review , but it also has the best sound*. I put an * on that, because it is not significantly better than the Logitech 715i, and it is more than 2x in price. The Bose Soundlink Computer Speaker does give you the ability to connect through your USB port to play music. This is also the only speaker that is not rechargeable
Sound – 4.5 out of 5
Sound Volume – 5 out of 5
Portability – 2 out of 5
Value – 2 out of 5
Philips Shoqbox SB7300 – The Philips Shoqbox 7300 has a nice mix of sound and portability. The SB7300 uses 4 speakers and comes close to filling a room. The bass is not great, but it ranks #3 of the speakers presented here.
Sound – 4 out of 5
Sound Volume – 3.5 out of 5
Portability – 4 out of 5
Value – 3 out of 5
Philips Shoqbox SB7200 – I am not a big fan of the SB7200, especially when compared to the SB7300. This speakers offers a hard water resistant case, but it only 2 speakers (compared to the 4). As a result sound performance and volume suffer.
Sound – 3 out of 5
Sound Volume – 2.5 out of 5
Portability – 4.5 out of 5 (Higher than the SB7300 due to its durable finish)
Value – 2.5 out of 5
Logitech 715i – Again, this video shows the iPod dock version of the 715i, but the bluetooth version is identical. The Logitech 715i is larger, and is more of a small boom box, but it has lots of flexibility. The only thing this speaker lacks is bass – although it is only slightly behind the Bose Soundlink. Unless you are looking for something that you can fit in a backpack the Logitech 715i should be strongly considered.
Sound – 4.5 out of 5
Sound Volume – 4.5 out of 5
Portability – 3 out of 5 ( a little too big for air travel)
Value – 5 out of 5
Monster iClarity HD – I never thought I would see a “Monster” product under-rated, but that is the case with the iClarity HD. The iClarity is very portable and offers very good sound… it may not be quite as good as the Philips Shoqbox SB7300 it certainly is a better value.
Sound – 4 out of 5
Sound Volume – 4 out of 5
Portability – 4.5 out of 5
Value – 5 out of 5
Kinivo Products – Both the Kinivo BTX095 and the BTX110 are in a different category than the other speakers. They are both very small and can easily fit into the side pocket of a backpack. These are ideal speaker for hiking, camping, or traveling… both of these speakers sound better than the native speaker on the iPad or iPhone.
Please Note – Some of the products shown were sent to me for reviewing purposes
