In last month’s edition of consumer tech, we reviewed the top headphones, so it only made sense to follow up with the best wireless speakers this month. Check out the Monkeys’ favorite speakers. With a variety of prices, you’re sure to find one for someone on your shopping list.
Sonos advertises the Play: 5 as “the ultimate listening experience with the purest, deepest, most vibrant
sound.” with six custom designed drivers, dedicated amplifiers, an accompanying app, and WiFi accessibility, this speaker allows users to listen to music with ease. The speaker is also pre-loaded with over 100,000 free radio stations and podcasts- you don’t even need to turn on your computer. Use the speaker to listen to music from your iPhone, or even connect it to your DVR or game console. The Play:5 speaker is available in black or white and retails at $499.
SoundLink Mini IIDon’t let the size of this speaker fool you. This little Bose speaker delivers dramatic sound while fitting in the palm of your hand. The SoundLink Mini II has the ability to connect to any Bluetooth device and even has a built-in speakerphone that allows you to answer calls. Its rechargeable battery lasts up to 10 hours, so you can take the speaker with you anywhere you go. The speaker is equipped with a USB and auxiliary port to allow you connectivity to other audio sources. The SoundLink Mini II comes in carbon or pearl and retails at $199.95.
The UE Roll is made for the adventurer. With the UE ROLL app, you can connect multiple UE ROLL speakers together. Because the UE ROLL is waterproof, you can clean it after your day at the beach with warm, soapy water. The best part about the speaker: it allows you to play music from up to 65 feet away with 9 hours of non-stop music. The UE ROLL comes in a variety of patterns and retails at $99.99
