Hook a portable wireless speaker up to your smartphone or computer for a quick and easy way to enjoy music from your own personal library or from a streaming site this summer. With their compact designs, these speakers are perfectly portable vacation accessories and some are compatible with intelligent voice assistants.
Sony SRS-XB41
The SRS-XB41 portable Bluetooth speaker stands out from the crowd with its multi-coloured flashing lights. Here, the speaker's coloured lights and flashing strobe synchronise to the beat of the music. Plus, the speaker's grip can be used to control the volume and to make different sounds (scratch, snare, kick drum, cowbell) depending on where you touch it – a fun and interactive feature. Thanks to its waterproof, rustproof and dustproof build, this speaker could theoretically survive being dropped in the sea and rinsed clean. Note that several speakers can be synced together for boosted sound and even more spectacular lighting effects, all in time to the music.
The Sony SRS-XB41 is priced US$249.99 (RM1,014.15).
