Whether you're tanning at the beach or hiking up a mountain trail, picnicking in the park or lounging in the pool, there are plenty of Bluetooth speakers to help enjoy the tunes stockpiled in your computer or smartphone. Here is a selection of five that you can take with you this summer.
1. UE Roll
This new portable and waterproof speaker by Ultimate Ears is extremely compact and light. With its built-in bungee cord loop, it can be tied to a backpack or a bike, or in your shower. The UE Roll also delivers 360° sound, no matter the conditions, and it is resistant to dust, shocks and water up to 1 meter.
The UE Roll retails for $99.99
2. Soulra rukus Xtreme
The rukus Xtreme features digital signal processing (DSP), two full-range speakers and bass-extending passive radiators for that low-end boom, and with a durable rubber design and easy carry handle, the rukus Xtreme is ready for anything. In addition, one of its unique features is a highly efficient solar panel, so you'll have the sun's power to blast your music all day and night long.
The Soulra rukus Xtreme retails for €169.99 in Europe, and is marketed as the Eton rukus Xtreme in the USA, where it retails for $199.99
3. BeoPlay A2
Bang & Olufsen's BeoPlay A2 is a Bluetooth speaker that is both innovative and stylish. The Danish brand has built two channels on each side of the speaker to give a full 360° stereo experience, and weighing in at just 1.1kg (less than 2.5lbs), you really can take this beauty with you anywhere.
The BeoPlay A2 by Bang & Olufsen retails for $399.
4. Grundig GSB200
With the GSB200, Grundig presents a 10W Bluetooth speaker with 16 hours of autonomy. It is also dust and shock resistant, obviously, and waterproof up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. Thanks to its USB port, it can also be recharged at any given moment.
The Grundig GSB200 retails for €99 in Europe but has yet to hit the US market
5. Beats Pill 2.0
The latest generation of Beats Pill portable speakers weighs only 310g, making it one of the lightest on the market and extremely easy to carry around. The speaker itself only has two buttons, to control volume, because everything else is controlled from the Bluetooth connected device housing the music. The distance for this device from the speaker can extend up to 9 meters, or nearly 30 feet.
The Beats Pill 2.0 retails for $199.95
