Enjoy singing in the shower, with the detachable showerhead as your microphone, but lack the tunes? Or perhaps you like to draw out your inner rock star while whipping up some rigatoni for the family, but the smartphone speaker just isn’t doing the trick?
Well rock on to your heart’s content — wherever the urge strikes — with the Bop Bluetooth speaker by Brookstone. The 2.25-inch tall compact wireless speaker has a sucker cup that sticks to almost any surface. And, since it is in pairing mode from the moment it’s turned on, it’s super-easy to connect Bop to any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet or other music player for a big, crystal-clear sound. Volume and tracks can be manipulated right from the speaker. In addition, the Bop’s built-in microphone and 33-foot range makes it easy for users to take hands-free phone calls.
The Bop has a re-chargeable battery that lasts up to six hours on a single charge and a USB cable is included for re-charging the unit. It comes in a variety of colors including purple, orange, pink, blue and dark gray.
The Bop Bluetooth speaker retails for $29.99 and is available at Brookstone stores as well as some Staples stores.
