Bluetooth speakers are an easy and affordable way to enjoy your music and other audio just about anyplace. Right now they are even MORE affordable because Best Buy is offering 30% off any Insignia Portable Bluetooth Speaker. (Valid 8/03/15 – 9/05/15. Offer valid in store and online.)
We received a couple of the Insignia speakers to take for a test drive. First up was the Insignia Plug In Bluetooth Speaker. This speaker wirelessly streams your favorite audio in any room of your home. It features a built-in power adapter and rechargeable battery, and gives you over 2 hours of playback. I have to say that I like this speaker. It has an all in one design that makes me smile. I really like using it for my podcasts as it seems tailor-made for such functionality – voices are clear and strong. On cooler nights I like to play hoops in my driveway. I don’t even think twice, with my Insignia Plug In Bluetooth Speaker in hand I plug it into an open wall outlet tune it Pandora and burn some calories! Connecting via blu-tooth breeze, as are all things portable nowadays.
Product Details:
Designed as a wireless audio solution for your home, it plugs directly into your wall outlets – no wires, shelf space or expensive receiver needed.
Unlike some other higher priced plug-in Bluetooth speakers, this Insignia speaker does not need to be plugged in at all times to work. It’s sleek, white design blends in to your home and its portability makes it perfect for taking it with you while you’re on the go.
Product Features:
• Compatible with most Bluetooth-enabled devices for wireless audio streaming.
• Auxiliary audio input jack connects your non-Bluetooth devices for more listening options.
• Built-in power adapter allows it to stay plugged into a wall outlet to maintain a full charge.
• USB charging port keeps electronic devices powered.
• Built-in rechargeable battery enables over 2 hours of playback when on the go.
Next on the list was the Insignia Bluetooth Speaker. This one has a silicone strap and ultra lightweight, compact design that lets you clip it almost anywhere including a backpack, purse, your bike, your belt, or even in the shower.
Having a wife that runs a website based off of living a fabulous life on a frugal budget doesn’t bode well for me when testing this speaker. If you want to listen to your favorite music in the shower (singing and all) and not worry about touching buttons with your wet fingers, get this Insignia Bluetooth Speaker. It isn’t the most powerful portable speaker on the market but its ability to hang on a towel hook near the shower lends to its utility. Just don’t get carried away and waste all the hot water. (Or your wife might yell at you!)
Product Details:
• Great for use in the car as a hands-free, Bluetooth speaker phone
• Powerful enough for the beach, laying by the pool or at an outdoor party and its splash-proof design means you don’t have to worry about water, rain or spilled drinks ruining your fun.
• Compatible with most Bluetooth-enabled devices for wireless audio streaming.
• Splash-proof design
• 1.5W total system power (2W peak power), produces quality sonic output
• USB charging port keeps electronic devices powered, so you can continue enjoying your favorite songs.
• Rechargeable lithium battery provides up to 6 hours of playback time on a full charge.
Whichever speaker you decide is best for you, don't forget to buy it soon becase Best Buy is offering 30% off any Insignia Portable Bluetooth Speaker only through September 5th!

I like those clip on ones! We’ve been using a bluetooth speaker at the beach this summer.

This looks like the perfect solution for great sound inside or outside of the house. The clip speaker may be just the right gift for some family members.

I do love my bluebooth speaker. It’s so fun to take it while traveling too. Music on the go!

I love to listen to music in the shower and either of these would be perfect. My cell phone is never loud enough to hear over the shower water. I know my kids would also love a portable speaker.
