Check out our review of the iUi Design Mini Mirror Boombox speaker.

Got a Mini Cooper enthusiast on your shopping list this year, but can’t afford to get them the car of their dreams? How about just a piece? With a take on Bluetooth speakers that’s as original as the Mini Cooper itself comes iUi Design’s Mini Cooper Mirror BoomBox, a new speaker that’s fashioned after the side mirror on the world’s most famous tiny sports car.

Available in three iconic color patterns including Union Jack, grayscale Union Jack, and checkered flag, the Mirror Boombox is a slice of Cooper kitsch for your mantel that also bumps out tunes from your smartphone. The little speaker includes Bluetooth 3.0 with aptX, NFC pairing, voice prompts, a rechargeable battery with an estimated 8 hours of runtime, an on-board speakerphone, and a touch capacitive volume control right above the mirror. Under the hood is an 8 watt sound amplifier.

The Mirror Boombox comes with an Aux input for hard wire connections, and it can remember two paired devices at a time, allowing you to switch between a tablet or smartphone with ease. While it won’t give you quite the same effect as the old bow in the driveway scene (has that ever actually happened?), at $150, it also won’t cost you a second mortgage on the house.

The iUi Design Mini Cooper Mirror BoomBox is available now.

The Beats Pill is back, baby!

A pair of Beats Pill speakers.

In what's been one of the worst-kept secrets of the year -- mostly because subtly putting a product into the hands of some of the biggest stars on the planet is no way to keep a secret -- the Beats Pill has returned. Just a couple of years after Apple and Beats unceremoniously killed off the stylish Bluetooth speaker, a new one has arrived.

Available for preorder today in either black, red, or gold, the $150 speaker (and speakerphone, for that matter) rounds out a 2024 release cycle for beats that includes the Solo Buds and Solo 4 headphones, and comes nearly a year after the Beats Studio Pro.

Ifi’s latest DAC is the first to add lossless Bluetooth audio

Ifi Audio Zen Blue 3 DAC (front).

Ifi Audio's new Zen Blue 3 wireless digital-to-analog converter (DAC) will officially be available to buy for $299 on July 9. When it is, it will be the first device of its kind to support a wide variety of Bluetooth codecs, including Qualcomm's aptX Lossless, the only codec that claims to deliver bit-perfect CD quality audio over a Bluetooth connection.

Admittedly, there are very few devices on the market that can receive aptX Lossless (and fewer that can transmit it), so it's a good thing that the Zen Blue 3 also works with the more widely supported aptX Adaptive, LDAC, and LDHC/HWA codecs (all of which are hi-res audio-capable), plus the three most common codecs: AAC, SBC, and aptX.

The new Beats Pill might replace Sonos on my back porch

The 2024 Beats Pill and an aging Sonos Play:1.

If I were to build an outdoor stereo in 2024, I'd do it with a pair of portable Beats Pills instead of Sonos speakers. Phil Nickinson / Digital Trends

In 2017, after more than a decade in our home, my wife and I added a pool. With it came a covered deck, making what basically was a new outdoor room. Not uncommon at all in Florida, but new to us.
