Any Bluetooth wireless speakers that you like?


I'm looking to add sound to the living room in a WAF friendly manner.   Gotta be inconspicuous and no wires showing!

I'm thinking a wireless Bluetooth speaker that I can connect to from tablet or Smartphone running my favorite music apps is the way to go.

Any particular good sounding ones that you have heard?

The retro-styled Marshalls would fit in aesthetically I think.  My wife likes retro!  Maybe the portable model.

Thoughts?

mapman,
for the size (& on-par pricing) I found the UE Boom2 to sound the best. it packs a wallop in its bass for its size.

for a much larger room I like this Sony bluetooth speaker:

The Bose bluetooth speakers are also very good but highly priced - the Soundlink Mini ($199) & Soundlink iii ($299).

here’s another one (if you want the option of playing a CD as well) from Sony:

It turned out to be the Libratone. It's a nice speaker. Sounds way better and bigger than the little Oontz. I would definately consider buying one. It's portable enough since it has a small footprint and a nice carry strap. And it puts out enough sound to make it useful for small get togethers. It's the best combination of functionality, portability and sound that I've heard so far.
that's exactly the UE Boom2 for less money.....
UE Boom 2 appears much smaller and lighter than Libratone. Though similar on concept. Can’t possibly go as loud and clear, can it?
well, i can't say how loud the Liberatone can be but the UE Boom2 can get very loud. My niece owns one & I’ve heard it in action.
It’s not that light - it’s got some weight to it when you pick it up.
I saw that both Walmart & Target have these units on display & you can test it out for yourself volume-wise.....
mapman, glad that you auditioned the UE Boom2. I'm in agreement with you re. the build quality, modern looks, size & quality of sound. 
My Walmart has the Bose Soundlink Mini & Soundlink as well - they sound very nice but they are expensive. For the Soundlink Mini which is $199, I'd rather buy the UE Boom2.
is the Liberatone much bigger in size & sound than the UE Boom2? I searched their website but could not find any dimensions. Maybe other users can tell us if it will work for a larger room....
good choice, mapman. modern looks & is likely to blend into your living room with other furniture accessories.
looks very thought out under the front grill (the center piece looks like a passive radiator?):
