Wireless speakers are good for two things: reducing cable clutter in a home and allowing owners to carry around their sound-producing device without dragging the PC or whatever other source along too.

The BTX350 is especially adept at enabling the latter, being equipped with not just volume controls, but buttons that can control playlists remotely.

That means that owners only need the Bluetooth-connected PC, smartphone, tablet or whatever else to be linked over the air with the speaker.

For something priced at $39.99 / €30.62 – 39.99, that is not bad at all. There is even a bass boost button.

The BTX350 has an integrated class-D amplifier and a rechargeable battery, plus special suspension cone drivers and a 3.5 mm cable. It can last for five hours on a single charge, but one can change the battery pack too, when there is no socket nearby to recharge it.
