Choose a Bluetooth speaker that’s perfect for the outdoors as it is for the indoors, has unparalleled sound quality, and connects easily to any Bluetooth device. If desired, choose a Bluetooth speaker that connects to any non-Bluetooth device via a 3.5 mm audio jack.

Because these devices are indispensable, they need to be constantly powered.
