Gear: Speaker pumps up the Bluetooth volume

Special to the Los Angeles Times

Satechi‘s BT wireless bluetooth speaker looks like a tiny little hovercraft with a pop-up midsection. It won’t actually go airborne, but the sound will.

It pairs easily with Bluetooth smartphones and other audio devices for wireless amplified music or phone conversations, thanks to an integrated mike, up to a distance of 33 feet.

It also has a built-in 3.5mm audio jack for connecting non-Bluetooth electronics and built-in rechargeable batteries. It comes with a USB cable for charging and powering.

It pops into your pocket when the pop-up top is twisted back into the base. The speaker costs $59.99.
