Share your music wirelessly: Portable speakers with stereo Bluetooth

Nicole Lee, Associate Editor August 29, 2008

There are better ways to share your music than lugging around a giant boombox. These days, many companies are now making portable speakers with built-in stereo Bluetooth, which allow you to stream your music wirelessly wherever you may go. In order to stream your music via Bluetooth, the transmitting device needs to have Bluetooth with A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile). Several music phones have this functionality, as do certain music players, plus most PCs and Macs. Some of these stereo Bluetooth speakers act as speakerphones, letting you make and answer calls. They include the LG MSB-100 and the Jabra BT8030 (which actually converts into a pair of headphones as well). Others don't have speakerphone functionality, but are just as able to stream music wirelessly, such as the Nokia Bluetooth Speaker MD-7W and the BlueAnt M1.
