I’ve been in the market for a Bluetooth speaker for ages, but my one hill that I choose to die on is this: If I have a piece of tech in my room, it better match my room’s vibe. That’s why I’ve disregarded so many bulky black speakers with amazing sound. I want a cute yet functional speaker.
This Trenbader speaker straddles both ends of that spectrum. It’s got a retro vibe, it delivers Bluetooth sound, it’s compact and doesn’t take up too much space (I live in a shoebox New York City bedroom, after all), and, most importantly, it’s SO cute. Amazon has a 20% discount on it during Prime Day, so you can snatch it for $56 instead of $70.
