Best Bluetooth Speakers Guide
Online, October 14, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Bluetooth used to be the most popular feature on a mobile phone. Sharing things wirelessly blew my tiny mind, even if all I did have to share was an over-pixelated early adoption of the "selfie." Nowadays, our cellphones have internet, so sharing anything comes as easy as you like. But lest we forget the benefits of Bluetooth, which stretch to - and mostly include - Bluetooth speakers. The lack of cables means they can accommodate specificities like water resistance, durability, rechargeable batteries, and technology means that they still deliver an impressive sound quality. We've put together 10 of the best that are available now, check them out after the jump.
