IKEA's GREJSIMOJS collection started with a dog-shaped lamp that dims when you hold its head for bedtime, turning a light switch into something closer to petting a sleepy puppy. The limited collection is more than just about cute animals, but also about playful behavior baked into everyday objects. That same thinking now shows up in a tiny Bluetooth speaker shaped like a mouse, with four stubby legs and a braided tail that doubles as a carry loop.

Whenever I see a toy robot, I feel like a kid again. Not because of Transformers, but because Ia millennial and self-proclaimed Cartoon Network kidgrew up on Dexter's Lab, and man, did that show burrow its way into my brain. Who knows? Maybe if I hadn't been so awful at doing useful stuff like math and chemistry, Dexter might have compelled me to become a scientist or an engineer.

A dependable portable Bluetooth speaker is one of those essentials you don't realize you need until the moment music is missing. Whether you're hosting friends in your living room, hanging out in the backyard, spending a day at the beach, or heading off on a weekend camping trip, good sound can completely define the mood. Phone speakers sitting in red cups simply don't cut it, and that's where a powerful option like the JBL Boombox 4 earns its place.

The Soundcore AeroFit 2 Pro features a similar adjustable ear-hook design to Anker's previous and AeroFit, but with one extra level of adjustment to help the earbuds create more of a seal in your ear. That change, plus tweaks to the tips of the Pro, seem to be how Anker is offering ANC on the new earbuds. Anker says the algorithm running on the Pro checks 380,000 times per second to adjust its level of noise cancellation on the fly.

Cozy desk setups have become a competitive sport. Tiny CRTs, retro keyboards, and beige plastic everywhere, usually looking very cute but doing very little beyond collecting dust and likes. Most of that gear is either pure decor or pure utility, rarely both. MiniToo leans into the 80s PC silhouette hard, complete with a CRT-style screen and chunky keyboard buttons, but it tries to earn its footprint by being a Bluetooth speaker, alarm clock, white noise machine, and pixel art display all at once.

The retailer is now offering its early Black Friday sales across a wide range of categories, including audio gear.

These include black, red, white, teal, and even the most stunning pink!

Whether you're heading to the park with some friends and planning to listen to some music while you hang or are just at home folding laundry and catching up on the latest episode of your favorite podcast, you're gonna want a solid speaker. The JBL Clip 3 isn't the latest model, but it still produces quality sound at an inexpensive price point.

The new version of the Wingman Bluetooth speaker is an upgrade to the Wingman View, introduced in 2023. The new speaker comes with a 3.5-inch color touchscreen that provides detailed metrics of the course you are currently on. Dubbed Wingman HD, the Bluetooth speaker graduates from a monochromatic LCD display on the previous version. To give you accurate details about the current course, the speaker employs the built-in GPS for tracking your location.

The underlying issue it addresses is easy: built-in TV speakers sound thin and muddy which causes dialogue to be difficult to follow and diminishes your enjoyment of shows and films. The Bose TV Speaker fixes it by employing two angled full-range drivers that produce a broader and more natural soundstage. Rather than having sound directly emanate at your face from one point, angled drivers reflect sound off your walls and bring it to life and opening it up, as it were.

I've seen plenty of DIY electronics projects that make you go "wtf, why" (this Bluetooth speaker in a walnut comes to mind) but this battery-to-Bluetooth-speaker conversion sits in a completely different category. Someone actually spent two weeks gutting a battery casing, drilling 60 precision sound holes, and cramming a full Bluetooth speaker setup inside what used to house alkaline cells. The kicker? It actually sounds good. Like, surprisingly good for something that began life as a Duracell knockoff with a pink bunny on the wrapper.

The BLOMPRAKT, which is a part of IKEA's smart home launch, is both a Bluetooth speaker and a lamp. It comes in a cool baby blue as well as beige and black, and is super easy to use. Simply turn it on and adjust the volume using the single knob located on the front of the lamp. Then, press and hold the button below to adjust the light's brightness.

Notably, TPV or TP Vision is a wholly owned subsidiary of TPV Technology based in Amsterdam, which develops, manufactures, and markets Philips-branded electronic items like TVs and audio products in select international markets.

The Soundcore Boom 3i is for outdoorsy folk who want to bring rich, booming music wherever they go, by land or by sea. You see, tons of outdoor speakers will market themselves as being water resistant which really just means they can handle getting slashed on a bit. That's not the case here. This is full IP68 dustproof and waterproof. More specifically it's saltwater resistant.

Brand collaborations are a dime a dozen these days, and it's easy to become cynical. Slapping a beloved logo onto a generic product is a time-honored tradition that often results in expensive disappointments, leaving loyal fans feeling a bit used. So, when word gets out that Fender, the American titan of rock and roll iconography, is partnering with Teufel, a Berlin-based audio company known for its exacting German engineering, a healthy dose of skepticism is understandable.

The collaboration takes the iconic BE@RBRICK form and marries it with Mickey's unmistakable silhouette, creating a piece that doubles as conversation starter and sound system. Powered by RINARO's exclusive QUAD'360 omnidirectional sound technology, the speaker hides four custom acoustic drivers inside Mickey's oversized head. The result? A seamless 360-degree sound field that envelops a room with audio that's as clean as it is powerful. In short, it's a system that looks playful but takes sound very seriously.

The Tribit StormBox Mini+ costs $40 and offers great sound, stereo pairing with multiple units, and a portable design, making it an appealing budget-friendly option.
