From earbuds to speakers, here are some of the latest Bluetooth audio accessories catching my ear!
While I am not currently a fan of my Sonos whole-home audio system, I do love their headphones. It’s their first pair of noise-cancelling headphones, and they did an excellent job.
I love the premium design. They’re comfortable to wear for long periods of time, and the sound is excellent.
Noise cancellation is on par with the best. The physical controls make playback and volume easy to manipulate.
Want something a bit less expensive?
Check out the CMF Buds Pro 2. They come in fun colors and cost just $59.
CMF is a subbrand of Nothing, a company doing unique things with consumer technology at great prices.
The sound on these earbuds is good for the price—if you want better, you’ll have to spend more.
There is noise cancellation and a fun, unique feature on the case: a clicky wheel you can use to adjust the volume and perform other functions you can program through the app.
If you need a Bluetooth speaker, look no further than the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4. For years, tech types have recommended previous versions of this speaker.
This latest version has some upgrades, including USB-C for charging.
It comes in fun colors like my review sample in “Joyus Bright.”
The Wonderboom is waterproof, and it even floats!
Plus, there’s a new podcast listening mode and an outdoor mode. You can even pair up to two of them together for more sound or stereo sound.
It’s $100, but it’s often on sale for $80 or maybe even less during the holiday shopping season.
Ryobi One Verse Clamp Speaker, $100
Finally, you probably recognize Ryobi for its power tools, but it also makes a unique line of speakers called Verse.
Pop in one of their recognizable battery packs, and you’ll get sound you can direct and clamp anywhere!
The audio quality is better than you would expect, and here’s the neat thing: you can link up to 100 of these speakers to create a network of sound wherever you need it!
A starter kit with one speaker and battery is $100 dollars, each extra speaker is $60.
Bonus points: When you’re done listening, you can use the same battery pack for your cordless leaf blower.
