Always looking for a nice sounding small bluetooth speaker, I found this one that has pretty nice sound, small, battery life not bad, water/splash proof, has a suction cup on the back (removeable) so you can stick it to your shower wall if you want, or car window or just sit it about anywhere.

Price is reasonable, BUT I do give this bit of warning, I recommend getting the Blue coloured one, as I got my daughter a blue one, and once it arrived I liked the sound so well I ordered a green one for myself. Well, the green arrived and it did not sound quite the same, close, but not the same, plus the software seemed different too, instead of being C6 to connect to, it was K1 and when you pressed the on button it said "BlueTooth" where my daughters just said "Power On" and then "Power Off" AND the kicker was on the back of the speaker of the blue one, it was silkscreened the CE information, where as the green one was blank, so I'm thinking it was meant for a different country maybe?

Any ways, here is the link to Amazon site

G2 approved :)

I've since sold the small one, I do still like and would recommend it highly, several folks at work bought one after listening to mine. I ended up getting a bit larger one for home, also has a rechargeable battery but a lot larger and nicer sound overall.

Harmon Kardon Onyx Studio 2

Some amazing sound out of this unit, connects via bluetooth or you can insert a 3.5mm cable to wire up devices that are not bluetooth.

That looks pretty good too! thanks for the link, one other thing I've picked up that I use to connect to my bluetooth speakers is this receiver transmitter, you set it for which one you need, in this case it transmits from my ipod classic to the bluetooth speaker, connects easily and works great, it's a iHaus4u Bluetooth Transmitter and Receiver Adapter

I also use it to connect to those speakers that have an aux input but no bluetooth, so I stream from my ipod touch through this to that speaker when I use it.

Yep, Jawbones are nice, I've owned both sizes of those.

I carry a JBL Flip in my bag now. I tried the Oontz Angle, but, as it turns out, you get what you pay for.

I just gotta feel that bass....
 
Funny, my bluetooth crapped out a few months ago, so I was looking for another one (better quality).
Read on some audio forums and ended up getting a full blown stereo...
But might check out the onyx, for beach days. Not bringing my 100 lb stereo!
 
I have two, the small one is the Bose Mini Soundlink, which is probably the best reviewed Bluetooth speaker on Amazon. I just loved the form factor and was impressed with the sound when I demo'ed it. I also knew that Bose were doing great sound in compact stereos long before anyone else with the Wave so I got one. Have not been disappointed. Use it every day as my desk/computer speaker and its great. I keep it plugged in to the mains but the battery also lasts for a long time when you want to use it remotely.

The other I have is the Harmon/Kardon Soundsticks Wireless set, which is a sub-woofer and two small speaker 'sticks'. Also a fantastic rig with great sound. We use the H/K both to boost TV sound and to play music, which I run off my iPad. Since I got this my old school hi-fi equipment (Yamaha/Rotel/Boston Acoustics) barely gets a look-in, although it still has superior sound. Its just so convenient to run it off the iPad and of course with an iTunes sub you have access to huge amounts of music for next to nothing.

I can highly recommend both these set-ups.
 
Bose Mini Soundlink constantly impresses me and people who hear it. It's a powerful little setup.
