Blue tooth Speaker for Computer (1 Viewer)

Northgun · May 31, 2014

A buddy of mine is looking for a blue tooth speaker to listen to music from his laptop. His price range is around fifty, but would consider higher. He would love it to be battery powered as well. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm moving this over to the Speaker forum. I think that's a better location than AHL. Hopefully get good responses there. (My second guess was the Computers section, but I don't see any speakers conversation there, at a glance.)

The main issue here...

There are hundreds of these things.

Stereo?
Line in?
Phone app?
By "battery"...do you mean "put batteries in it" or rechargeable?
Multiple pairings...or single pairing?
Some form of LCD indicator? (or is an idiot light enough?)

You can't have "all of that" at $50.

FWIW I have one of those HDX that is half the size of a Coke can I bought for $30. Works fine.

he literally only cares that it has blue tooth connection capabilities, you can run the thing on batteries, has some decent volume to it, and sounds decent.

If he'll go $70...

Just another option. I've been impressed with the Philips portable sound products lately. Might be worth a look.http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Bluetooth-Wireless-Portable-Speaker/dp/B00AERGEW2/ref=sr_1_25?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1401605555&sr=1-25&keywords=bluetooth+speakers.+Philips
