Thanks to Bluetooth speakers, music lovers do not have to contend with bothersome wires to play their favorite songs while on the road. Many are small enough to fit into a bag, taking portability a step further. The newest models break away from conventional boxy constructions with futuristic and unique housings resembling UFOs, flowers, animals and cars.

Models work with various Bluetooth-enabled devices, including Android- or iOS-powered gadgets, and laptops and desktops, practically rendering music-playing options limitless. Some have a microphone as an add-on for speakerphone functionality.
