In the shower I use a Jam Splash. Loud, clear, water resistant, take calls with it, rechargeable...

got it at BBB with a 20% coupon.

I had the UV boom paid 200 had very good sound! Took it back a few days later and got the Harman/Kardon. On sale for the same price as the UV. All I can say is wow even better sound!

The only thing that really upsets me is when I am playing music doesn't matter if it's my portable speaker or in car at times it breaks up like a old record! Guess I showed my age haha. It's the Bluetooth on my note 4! Does anyone else have this problem??

I'm using an Anker MP141 ($40 on Amazon). Small, great sound and 15-20 hours of battery life. The build quality is nice. It comes with a small bag for travel, a USB cable and 3.5 mm cable for plugging directly into it. Definitely worth the money.

Actually vinyl records are still a retro sort of fad among audiophile purists. So you don't have to be of the Boomer generation or older to know about them. Personally I haven't used my old turntable in about 20 years or maybe more. I still have the old records in the cabinet, though. They might become valuable antiques. Got VHS tapes too but who knows if they're any good after so many years, and the player for them which may or may not still be functional.

Who or what is linn sondek? I'm in the USA, so that might be the reason it is unfamiliar since it sounds European. Ahh..googled it..its some sort of turntable from Scotland, so I nailed it on the European part.

This is What I have. The sound is quite impressive. Battery is stellar. I didn't think that little white box would sound good...but man it does!

MAY THE 4 BE WITH YOU!

Soundlink 3.

Was considering returning it and getting the cheaper denon envaya though.

Can't post links yet, but wirecutter has a pretty comprehensive review thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-bluetooth-speaker/

Sold the JBL Clip and got the Logitech ue Mini Boom over Boxing Day for half price!

Overall much better, the 8 hours (compared to 5) was the reason why I upgraded.
