Bluetooth Audio Speakers Review

I have numerous Bluetooth speakers but this one is by far the best!

We have some old audio equipment that works just fine, but we wanted to utilize bluetooth speakers to enjoy todays audio technology improvements.  This transmitter works perfectly to make that possible, and as a bonus, its priced right.  Much easier on the budget than totally upgrading all our old technology.  The cord could be longer, but we make it work.

A friend of mine had the older version of these without the bluetooth; used them for his vinyl turntable. I was impressed with the sound from them then but didn't have the opportunity to play them at louder levels or with tracks that I was deeply familiar with already to really evaluate them. After purchasing these for myself however, I'm completely blown away by the audio quality that they can achieve with such a small footprint. They can get LOUD and the natural audio balance is really nice. Substantial bass -- more than what I expected from these -- but not muddy or overpowering. I have them hardwired to my turntable and they've been fantastic for that but what I was really surprised by was the audio quality over bluetooth that they can achieve. It's really nice to pair them to my computer or phone and completely fill my office with music. There is some continuous baseline audio noise that you can hear if nothing is playing and you are right next to the speakers, however they are currently directly plugged into an outlet on a rather noisy circuit in my house. But ultimately if something is playing you'd never notice it; the signal-to-noise ratio in this case is still really good. All this being said, I absolutely do not regret this purchase in any way. They punch way above their belt in both size and cost. They're small enough that they could potentially be used as computer speakers. But they're big enough to provide enough resonance for deeper sounds. If you want speakers to put on a bookshelf in your office and absolutely fill the room even at only 30% volume with phenomenal fidelity -- get these.

I paid extra for a Bose Bluetooth speaker over other brands because we used to own a Bose Wave Radio/CD player, and I still use my Bose PC speakers. I know a lot of hardcore audiophiles dislike Bose for how it manipulates the audio - but I'm no audiophile, and Bose speakers always have big sound for a small device - not just loud, but full and encompassing the space I'm in. This one surprised even me with how room-filling the audio is, especially from a battery-operated speaker that's not much bigger than a portable DVD drive. It goes with me whenever I travel now, and I take it from the living room to the bathroom when I'm showering so I can hear over the water what's being said on podcasts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will admit I was initially intimidated by the mere idea of hooking this turntable up, but the promise of being able to connect wirelessly to our bluetooth speakers and headphones motivated me. It was packed very securely, however a few of the parts/accessories were tucked away in the styrofoam packaging and there were a few minutes of panic until I found them. Assembling the turntable and connecting it (wired) to our amp was easy peasy, as was pairing the bluetooth with our speakers. I really like the minimalist design of the turntable, it is very modern looking and unobtrusive. The buttons and knobs are are easy to find and to use. Using the turntable to play a record is simple and straightforward and the sound is refreshingly clean. As soon as the kiddos knew we had it (and what it could do) they came over with their laptops that have recording software on them, and literally stacks of albums and spent the day using the turntable to record the albums onto their computers. I will be honest - I would not have known how to do that without them showing me first. What I really like the best is that I can play albums and listen to them through bluetooth on my wireless headphones, in another room! I love it and would recommend this highly to someone looking for a good turntable that has bluetooth capabilities.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an owner of many Bluetooth audio speakers, including multiple Bose speakers (three Soundlinks included), I was not disappointed in Bose's newest addition, the Soundlink Flex. The SoundLink Flex continues the legacy of great-sounding Bose portable Bluetooth speakers – big sound in a small package. I love my Soundlink Micro for biking and listening to music on the beach, but it was time for an upgrade, and the micro, while impressive, was never going to blow anyone away with its sound. The Flex is a perfect upgrade to the micro. It has much deeper bass and louder overall volume, which makes it better suited for outdoor activities. The highs are also clearer at both lower and higher volume levels. Yes, the Flex is a little larger and heavier, but the included strap makes it easy to attach and carry. The Flex is just as waterproof as the micro, so it is ideally suited for beach activities. I also take I t on my jet ski because it is loud enough to hear. Bose included a few new perks, including the ability to set up the flex as part of a stereo pair with other Soundlink speakers. This excellent feature allows me to connect my Revolve II or micro for some added sound and stereo for larger parties on my patio. The Bose Connect app quickly paired the Flex to my Android phone without any problems. While connected to your phone, the Flex can take calls, and the microphone is not bad if you are relatively close. It also allows you to connect to your phone's assistant to request music or other assistant features through the speaker. I did not notice any Bluetooth cutouts or interference issues. The flex is a fantastic addition to the Soundlink family. Disclaimer: I did receive a discount on this product for my unbiased review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own several Bluetooth speakers and so far, the Sony XE300 X Series Portable Wireless speaker has been the best. It pairs seemingly easily. It is compact for the most part and can fit in more places than the typical round speakers can. The sound has been by far the best. I’m picky about my sound. Most smart speakers sound kind of blunted. This speaker helps me enjoy my music to its potential!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've owned several Bluetooth speakers and none have been nearly as good as this one. The sound is crisp and loud, and the speaker phone function has been invaluable. I am able to use it on work calls and can hear my coworkers from across the room! I love it. The product also feels extremely well put together, and definitely feels like a "premium" speaker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got to revive my old speakers that only have an AUX cord! I have many speakers that do not have a Bluetooth function and this fixed it all. This is great for those that want to keep their old speakers (w/aux) but want to have bluetooth also.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use A LOT of Bluetooth Speakers. Between my car, my house, my garage I use all different types but this one .... has well made me decide to buy all Sony. They last a long time without needing to be charged. The only thing I'm frustrated with, is more a user error as it is a bit heavy.
