We talk up the folks at Eton quite a bit for their excellent emergency radios and lights. If your home and camping kits don’t have at least an Eton radio, stop what you’re doing and go shop for one. I’ll be right here waiting. They’re versatile, offer multiple features, and will last a long time. [...]

Kinivo BTX350 Digital Wireless Speaker Review
I’m a big fan of Bluetooth enabled, wireless speakers in this age of cell phones, tablets, and computers. We’re always on the go, always have our mobile phones with us, and therefore, many of us carry our music collections with us as well. Even if you don’t carry your MP3 collection on your cell phone, [...]
Scosche boomBOTTLE Weatherproof Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
“Another Bluetooth speaker?” Elana asked when the package arrived? (Okay she actually didn’t say that but she COULD have said it, considering just how many Bluetooth speakers we have reviewed in recent months.) Yes, the Scosche boomBOTTLE is yet another Bluetooth speaker that has made its way into the marketplace. This one, however, is an [...]
3 to 5 Hours of Streamed Music from the MiPow Boom mini? Not Even Close!
We brought an exclusive first look at the MiPow Boom mini (read the post), and then we shared the first ever review of the diminutive new speaker coming from MiPow. As you might recall, Judie and I met with MiPow in January when they were showing off their newest offerings at CES 2013. We were [...]
Divoom OnBeat X1 Portable Bluetooth Speaker Review
To be honest, most of my gaming — whether PC, Mac, DS, PSP, iOS or Android — is done either with headphones or with the device muted. There are a couple of reasons for this: first to allow for ‘gaming anywhere’; the second because ever since playing games such as Thief in the late 90s, [...]
Turtle Shell Boombox, Is It the Bluetooth Speaker for You?
Bluetooth speakers are pretty much everywhere you look; there’s the granddaddy of them all – the rectangular JawBone JamBox. There’s the strikingly similar rectangular shaped Braven 600 speaker that adds an external battery for charging your devices. If you want the speaker that stands up tall rather than sitting low you might want to check out [...]
The Scosche boomBOTTLE Is a Ruggedized Portable Speaker for Tunes on the Go
We’ve reviewed a host of different Bluetooth speakers but never one quite like this. The Scosche boomBOTTLE is a new mobile speaker that is ideal for streaming music while biking, hiking, camping and more. The boomBOTTLE not only has a unique design, but it has the features to match. A durable non-slip, shock absorbing TPU [...]
MiPow Boom mini Bluetooth Speaker Review
I will admit to having gone into my review of the MiPow Boom and MiPow Boom mini Bluetooth speakers positively inclined toward both products. After all, when Judie and I met with Brian Holmes, vice president and general manager of MiPow, back at CES in January we were immediately impressed by the attention to quality and [...]
Braven 570 Charges Your Smartphone and Ears On the Go
We met with Braven at CES 2013 (check out the post) and had a chance to see their new speakers. We watched as the Braven BRV-1 went for a swim and checked out the budget-priced Braven 570. Now we’ve got out hands on the Braven 570 for a hands-on review. Before we jump in though [...]
IK Announces iLoud at NAMM, the First Portable Speakers Designed for Musicians
If you have ever watched my YouTube videos reviewing music apps, you might notice that I often have the audio routed through my guitar amp. Not the optimal solution, but easier than moving down into the basement studio to use those monitors. What musicians need are portable speakers that offer power and flexibility … and [...]
iLuv Announces New Bluetooth Speaker Lineup at CES
Bluetooth technology has become more than just a way to use an earpiece for a cell phone. Audio played through Bluetooth speakers from mobile devices has become my go to listening choice. While most speakers will not sound like a dedicated hi-fi speaker system, the sound quality of these wireless speakers has definitely improved as [...]
Audyssey Wireless Speakers Review
Hi, Captain Obvious here with a thought that is… well, obvious. Today’s totally obvious thought? No matter how good tech gets, there will always be pros and cons to any and every device. This holds for computers, it holds for tablets, and it holds for audio systems; let’s focus on audio system. I LOVE my [...]
NYNE NB-200 Bluetooth Speaker Review; Provides Music on the Go
In an increasingly crowded market, a Bluetooth speaker needs something special if it is going to stand out. The JawBone JamBox stands out by having largely set the stage for this line of small speakers. The Braven 600 stands out because it also serves as an external battery to recharge your phone on the go. [...]
JBL FLIP Portable Wireless Loudspeaker Review
The last year or two has seen a huge proliferation in the number of small battery-powered Bluetooth speakers. We’ve reviewed the Jabra SoleMate, took a look at the popular JawBone JamBox a shootout between the Braven 600 and the JamBox and, most recently, reviewed the SuperTooth Disco 2. When the JBL FLIP arrived for review [...]
