Bluetooth speakers

The best Bluetooth speaker is the one that fits how you actually listen — and that's rarely just one speaker. Gemini Sound's Bluetooth lineup runs from a $29.95 waterproof speaker you clip to a backpack all the way up to a 15" powered PA, because "play my phone out loud" covers the kitchen, the backyard, the dorm, the garage, and the stage. Pair in seconds, and leave the cables in the drawer.

Here's the range in plain terms. For going out, the BEATORB is fully waterproof at IPX7 and runs about 12 hours a charge. For the party, the GRV-2650L puts 200W peak through dual 6.5" woofers with LED lights to match. For the house, SMX-5BT bookshelf speakers bring real stereo to a desk or a shelf, and the GSYS-4800 turns the living room into the room everyone ends up in, with dual 12" subwoofers and 160W peak. Need to fill an actual venue? The GSP-L5500PK is a 15" Bluetooth PA — 500W peak, 250W RMS, 126dB max SPL — that streams as easily as it gigs.

Every one connects over Bluetooth, so any phone in the room can take a turn. And every one is built by a company that's been making real sound since 1974 — clear and loud, with honest power ratings and bass you can actually feel.
