Bluetooth speakers are amazing and also the worlds worst technology in public at the same time.

But they were at least limited in their portability and loudness and battery life. Now you can have a tiny speaker that gives up any semblance of sound quality for loudness, but will also manage to last 8+ hours.

Some of those bad boys would pack 8 D batteries and you didn't ever have to charge it, just crack open a new pack of batteries every few outings.

Hell you can GRILL with 8 D batteries.
