With the release of the iPhone 5 and its new Lightning connectors, speaker docks compatible with previous iPhones are useless to the newest iPhone revision. Because of this, many people have abandoned speaker docks in favor of Bluetooth speakers. After the change, many have found Bluetooth speakers to be much more convenient than speaker docks. With Bluetooth, operating ranges between devices can be as far as 30 to 50 feet. You can control your music straight from your couch to your speakers from across the room so that you'll never have to get up from your seat to change songs. Bluetooth speakers are also available in both large and small form factors to match your needs; speaker docks tend to all be quite large and not very portable compared to what other Bluetooth speakers have to offer. Below we list two of our favorite Bluetooth speakers that will fit the home-user's and traveler's needs. Logitech UE Boombox Logitech is a well-known brand, known for the quality of its products. The Logitech UE Boombox is no slouch here. It offers superb sound quality besting many speaker docks at the same price range of $200-$250.

Cons: Costly at $249.99 Bass can be overwhelming at times Need to dedicate space for the Boombox, since it is about the size of a modern boombox Neutral: While portable, the Boombox is still quite heavy and is not as portable as your iPhone 5 Grandmax Tweakers POP Grandmax is a creator of many Bluetooth products, specializing in wireless Bluetooth speakers. The Tweakers POP offers great portability and decent sound quality in a portable package at the price of $20-$25.
