Any Bluetooth wireless speakers that you like?


I'm looking to add sound to the living room in a WAF friendly manner.   Gotta be inconspicuous and no wires showing!

I'm thinking a wireless Bluetooth speaker that I can connect to from tablet or Smartphone running my favorite music apps is the way to go.

Any particular good sounding ones that you have heard?

The retro-styled Marshalls would fit in aesthetically I think.  My wife likes retro!  Maybe the portable model.

Thoughts?

miner,


Do you own the Grain Audio PWS? If so, how is the sound? Looks like a winner and I'm thinking about buying one.

Thanks,

Mofi,

Do you have the Cambridge Oontz Angle 3 (small) or Angle 3XL (large)? I'm looking at both of these and they look promising. The prices have been marked down dramatically from the original MSRP and they both look like good values if they sound OK.


Thanks,

I ended up buying the Cambridge Oontz Angle 3 to have for a small portable speaker. It's not bad considering the size (really small), but it is not even close to HiFi. However, for less than thirty dollars with free shipping from Amazon, it's a great deal for a super portable.

Interestingly, my neighbor brought over his bluetooth speaker for a little get together this evening that included a lively game of music roulette. It turned out to be the Libratone. It's a nice speaker. Sounds way better and bigger than the little Oontz. I would definately consider buying one. It's portable enough since it has a small footprint and a nice carry strap. And it puts out enough sound to make it useful for small get togethers. It's the best combination of functionality, portability and sound that I've heard so far.

The original style Grey Libratone Zipp is on sale on eBay for one hundred and seventy dollars. It's the same one my friend brought over this past weekend. It sounds really good and its big enough and loud enough to fill a good sized room (maybe not to party levels, but that's not my need). I'm going to do a bit more invenstigation to insure it meets my needs, but I think I'm going to jump on one.

mapman,

Did you get the speaker? How do you like it? I still think I'm going to order the Libratone ZIPP, but haven't commited yet.

Hey MM,

The new version of the Libratone Zipp has a pairing feature that you can set to either stereo (L&R) or full 360 degree sound from each. Unfortunately they cost $299 each....Ouch.
MM,

 I also just discovered today that the new HK Onyx Studio 3 has a pairing feature. If you like the Studio 2, you might want to check it out.
