9 Powerful wireless speakers for any occasion

Music is life. At least, for a lot of us, it is. We find it hard to do anything without our favorite tunes playing in the background. And forget about trying to have a party of any sort without music. Things get pretty awkward, pretty fast. Wouldn't it be great to have music anywhere, anytime? Now, you can.

Bowers & Wilkins Formation Wedge Angled Speaker in Black

We all have that one friend. The one who brings their guitar to every party and busts it out after they’re a couple of drinks in. That can be great…or it can get super awkward. And sometimes, you just don’t feel like sitting around and singing “Kumbaya” with everyone. Wouldn’t it be great to always have a speaker with you or in the room so you could avoid this type of situation? With one of the wireless speakers on our list, you can tell your friends to leave their guitars and tambourines in the car.
