Have you ever been getting ready in the morning, staring into your bathroom mirror and thinking why can’t this play music? Of course you have, and because this problem occurs for many of us every single morning, speaker manufacturer iHome just released a welcome solution to this issue: the iHome Vanity Mirror Speaker.

Literally exactly what it sounds like, iHome’s innovative new speaker setup is a double-sided vanity mirror that boasts Bluetooth audio and speakerphone playback along with a USB outlet for charging your music player of choice. It might not blow you away sonically, but hey, it’s better than listening to your upstairs neighbor stomp around all morning.

Humor aside, iHome says it created its new vanity speaker to be “as elegant and full-featured as any vanity available.” Consider these guidelines well achieved as the New Jersey-based company included 250 lux Full Spectrum LED lighting, 1x and 7x magnification dual-sided mirror, an auxiliary input port, and a 1 amp USB charging port — in addition to its Bluetooth capability. Depending on a customer’s preferred of mirror size, iHome offers the Vanity Mirror Speaker in 6-inch ($100) and 9-inch ($150) varieties.

“This vanity is the perfect addition to any makeup lover’s stash and is an ideal gift for the woman — or man — who has everything,” says Evan Stein, SDI Technologies’ Director of Marketing. “This new line of high-quality vanity mirrors further cements iHome’s dedication to creating innovative and in-demand products that appeal to the consumer that craves a fully connected life.”

In addition to its aforementioned feature suite, the mirror also boasts a rechargeable battery that’s capable of running up to four hours at a time on a full charge, as well as a power-saving timer that automatically turns the LED light off when not in use. The Vanity Mirror Speaker even lets users take hands-free phone calls with buttons that control volume and allow them to answer calls or hang up. Both models are currently available via iHome’s website; now’s the time to bring your bathroom into the 21st Century.

Klipsch Gig XXL Klipsch

Party speakers -- powerful and often colorfully lit portable Bluetooth loudspeakers -- have been a growing category for several years. In fact, we've seen a lot of the big brands in audio -- like Sony, JBL, and LG -- getting in on the act with a variety of models and prices. But the way you can really tell that this is no longer a flavor-of-the-month trend is that Klipsch is now a player too.

B&O’s picnic basket speaker pumps out 280 watts of power while it charges your phone
Bang & Olufsen Beosound A5 in natural aluminum/light oak.

No, the iconic Danish audio company Bang & Olufsen (B&O) does not refer to its new Beosound A5 portable speaker as a picnic basket, but one look at the photos and the comparison becomes unavoidable. Still, picnic basket looks or not, the A5 packs an impressive array of design and technology, which given its starting price of $1,049, you'd hope would be the case. You can buy the Beosound A5 starting April 27 in stores and online at bang-olufsen.com.

B&O says the A5, which comes in two colors (natural aluminum/light oak and black aluminum/dark oak), is the result of a collaboration with the Danish-Italian design team, GamFratesi. It's got an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance, and most of the parts -- including the exterior grilles and the handle -- can be easily replaced or swapped out. As part of B&O's Mozart family of products, even the A5's communication module can be upgraded over time.

This tiny Ikea waterproof Bluetooth speaker is just $15
Ikea Vappeby Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker in black.

Ikea is well known for selling attractively designed products at reasonable prices, but its latest Bluetooth speaker is priced so low that even Amazon might not be able to compete. The Vappeby waterproof portable Bluetooth speaker, as its name suggests, is tiny, waterproof, and surprisingly cheap at $15.

The tiny, silicone-wrapped speaker measures only three inches square and is just two inches thick. For reference, that's about as wide as an iPhone 14 in portrait mode. It comes with its own lanyard cord, which you could use to hang the Vappeby in a shower as Ikea shows in its photos, or you could simply use it as a wrist strap. It's available in three colors: yellow, black, or red, and if you buy two of them, they can be used as a stereo pair.
