Like them or hate them, Beats by Dr. Dre ripped through the existing high-end headphone market faster than Felix Baumgartner through the atmosphere. It was only a matter of time before Beats made a wireless bluetooth system. That time is now. The "Pill" offers the signature sound the headphones are built on in a portable ... continue reading
Everyone in the tech game makes at least one Airplay Speaker these days. A lot of them have similar features: Airplay (obviously), 3.5mm jack for devices without Airplay, iTunes support, a decent speaker, too many buttons, a rechargeable battery and the ability to take your music anywhere. Unfortunately, most of them ... continue reading
It might be a rare occasion, but if you have ever dropped your pocket knife in a pond while out camping, you know the annoyance involved in retrieving that sucker. The Cork Knife eliminates any fear of cutting rope on the side of a lake or whittling wood over a creek while you're on your next trip. The cork handle ... continue reading
There's always that one person on the plane, train or automobile that feels like it's necessary to take their new Carly Rae Jepsen to volume level 11 and let everyone around them enjoy it too. The problem with that, though, is that it's never really loud enough to actually enjoy. If you're going to go the route of ... continue reading
If you want a portable, wireless speaker for your iDevice of choice, it's not that hard to find one that will fit the bill. You have plenty of options for bluetooth or Airplay (or, technically, Airplay using bluetooth), but few of them have the bonus features that the Libratone Zipp offers. Let's get the basics out ... continue reading
Harman Kardon has been producing awesome audio equipment since before there was even a Cool Material, and they've done quite a few pairs in the crystalline style of the fortress of solitude. No other pair has been as glaringly beautiful as the SoundSticks though, and that's probably why they're a permanent fixture ... continue reading
Officially, there are only a handful of days left in the season of fun and sun. That doesn't mean you should stop thinking about how you're going to spend time outdoors because most of the other seasons are fine for doing shit outside, too. Outdoor Tech wants to make everything you do outside a party with their Turtle ... continue reading
We could use this space to talk about how having a funky-fresh wooden boombox would be great for parties, or the fact that we love Kickstarter projects, but we're not going to. Michael Davis-Yates addresses everything you need to know when he waxes poetic about the Jammy! and Lil' Jammer! in his Kickstarter video. ... continue reading
We miss ghetto blasters. Even if we managed to dig one of them up, we wouldn't have any cassette tapes to put in the damn thing anyway. If you've ever dreamed about walking down the street blasting tunes off your shoulder again, or maybe pulling a Cusack and getting vertical with it, you need to check out this Lasonic ... continue reading
The other day we showed off the new Logitech UE Boombox. Now, if that thing was a bit too bulky for you and you fall more in line with the Jambox crowd, there's the Logitech UE Mobile Boombox. A little more colorful and a lot more portable. The minuscule boombox still packs a pretty good punch despite its much smaller ... continue reading
There's no need to hoist this bad boy up on your shoulder while blasting some Run DMC as you stroll the block. The Logitech UE Boombox ushers in a totally new world for the classic large-yet-portable music blaster. The wireless jam machine uses Bluetooth to stream music from multiple phones so everyone can take turns ... continue reading
Take your precious little Jambox out on a boat, and you'd be watching over it like it was your first born: Holding it so it doesn't fall, keeping a towel near by, possibly covering it in suntan lotion. For as great as many wireless Bluetooth speakers are, they aren't really made with the great outdoors in mind. The ... continue reading
There are plenty of ways to listen to your music when you’re not within arms’ reach of a wall outlet. Most of them don’t look, or perform, anywhere near as good as the ones from Tombox. The Germans take discarded loudspeakers and repurpose them as portable amplifiers. Each Tombox is created individually, so they’re ... continue reading
Depending on your home's design, the current wave of Bluetooth speakers might not fit in with their surroundings. If you have a rustic theme running through your rooms, a Jambox will seem as out of place as Jet Li in a romantic comedy. The 1Q is an ideal alternative if you are looking for a way to bump some jams in ... continue reading
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of different ways to get the music on your iPhone into your ears and the ears of those around you. Most of them aren’t anywhere near as convenient or cool as this mini boombox. Designed with portability in mind, the longest side of this speaker is 2.5” and it doesn’t require ... continue reading
You can't even go to a big box store these days without seeing a few different bluetooth portable speakers because they're pretty much everywhere. You might be content with the indoor tunes that get pumped out of the one you already have (it may or may not be branded with a name that refers to a bone in the human face), ... continue reading
