Looking for small desktop stereo bluetooth speakers

2018-11-09 13:21:15

Small stereo bluetooth speakers for a desktop computer may not exactly be the audiophile's craving, but that's what I'm looking for. So far I've used Creative T12 Wireless speakers, which were the only ones I could find in the local consumer electronics market. OK for occasional listening, but: Might there be something a little more hifi out there?
Googling was not very helpful because I either find portable speakers like the JBL Flip or speakers that are way too large or massive sets with separate subwoofers, all of which I don't want.
Does anyone have a hint?

Audio Pro makes a range of speakers with various wireless connections, including Bluetooth. Both portable single units (with/without batteries) and bookshelf/floorstanding models.

I had the Addon T3 for a while, and was quite impressed by the sound quality from such a small speaker. The general build quality and finish was very nice as well.

Audioengine are also quite good in this segment. I had a set of their earlier speakers for a while, and quite liked them.

Thanks a lot.
The Addon T3 would be a single unit boombox I don't want.
The Audioengine HD3 look good and seem small enough, but I was hoping to spend no more than 200 Euros.

I have a pair of iLoud micro monitors and am very happy with them. I can't remember what I paid exactly but they were not far off your budget as i got an amazon warehouse deal. Tiny boxes, bluetooth and no sub required.

I took a closer look at the Wavermaster Cube Mini Neo, especially since they can also be used with a cable if Bluetooth turned out to be not the best solution for my needs.

A pair of MIFA A1 Outdoor Wireless Speakers would be good cheap alternative (2x $17.99) probably?

I've eyed those iLoud monitors before, but I just can't get past the terrible branding, and printed huge on the side no less. What is this, 2003?

Why do you want wireless speakers for a desktop computer? Do you need to frequently move the speakers away from the computer, or do you just prefer not to use wires?

a. Is the 'many speakers can talk to each other to stay in sync' the usual thing with this bluetooth tech?
b. If a=true, if there are exactly two speakers can one be L and the other R?
