Using speakers with your cell phone or tablet makes it easy to enjoy great-sounding music from the collection stored on your device, as well as from online music apps like Pandora and Spotify. While there are plenty of wired speaker options to consider, there are a number of great wireless selections available as well. Some are small and compact so you can easily use them on-the-go, while others are designed for home or office use.
Three
Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speakers
There
are many portable cell phone and tablet speakers that use Bluetooth technology.
Some come in very small sizes that are easy to carry in your briefcase or
backpack, while others are designed more to be used on a shelf, end table, or
night stand.
1. Divoom Voombox - Travel (Very Small)
If you are more of an outdoor enthusiast
than an air traveler, the Divoom Voombox -Travel might better meet your
Bluetooth speaker needs. This circular speaker is about 2 1/2 inches in
diameter and comes with an easy latch clip that you can use to connect it to
your backpack or belt loop to enjoy great sound when you're on the move. The
speaker is surrounded by rubber to absorb shocks, and it is designed to be
splash-resistant, which makes it well-suited for rugged outdoor use.
This speaker works with all tablets and
smartphones equipped with Bluetooth capability.
Reviews: A review on AndroidSpin points out that this compact speaker isn't one that will wow audiophiles, but that isn't what it's designed to do. The reviewer recommends the speaker as "a great little companion device when you're heading outdoors and want something easy to carry for a little background sound." A review on cnet.com concludes that this "sturdily built" speaker "is a good budget choice for a wireless travel speaker."
Purchasing: Order this speaker directly from Divoom for just under $50. 2. Divoom Voombox - Outdoor (Medium Size)
2.
Divoom Voombox - Outdoor (Medium Size)
If you're looking for a larger,
weather-resistant Bluetooth speaker with richer sound, the Divoom Voombox -
Outdoor model is a good option to consider. With the same rugged construction
and splash-resistant design, this speaker is just as rugged as the travel
version. It's quite a bit larger (6" long by 2" tall), and even
though it does come with a carrying strap, it's not something that you'd
probably want to carry backpacking. However, it's perfect for a backyard
barbecue or a day at the beach or park, with stronger sound thanks to dual
speaker construction.
Reviews: I received a Divoom Voombox - Outdoor speaker, and I'm very pleased with its sound quality and sturdiness. It has become my go-to speaker for outdoor use at home, as well as during my RV travel adventures. In my role as LTK's technology editor, I have tested many different speakers, and my husband swears that this one has the absolute best quality sound of them all. A review on Apple at the Core offers high praise, stating, "If you are looking for a device that you can use extensively outdoors, then there really isn't another choice. Divoom's Voombox is the best ruggedized speaker that I've seen, and should fit just about any situation you throw at it."
Purchasing: Order
this speaker directly from Divoom for around $100.
3. Altec Lansing Soundblade XL (Larger)
If
you're looking for a larger, portable Bluetooth speaker designed for indoor
use, the Soundblade XL from Altec Lansing is an excellent option to consider.
At 12" long and 3" tall, it's not a speaker that you'd likely throw
in your backpack to go for a hike, but it can easily be moved from one room or
location to another.
This speaker will work with any
Bluetooth-enabled cell phone or tablet. It has a rechargeable battery, but can
also operate with AC power, which makes it a great choice for people who like
to listen to music throughout the workday, during parties, or other extended
events without having to worry about battery power.
Reviews: I received an Altec Lansing Soundblade XL to review, and I'm very impressed with its design and sound quality. The speaker's appearance is sleek, and the fact that it can be plugged in for continuous usage makes it a great choice for office use. A review on PCMag.comdescribes it as "an attractive, portable Bluetooth speaker that offers decent audio performance".
Purchasing: Order this speaker from Micro Center for around $180.
More Bluetooth Speaker Options
These are only a few of the numerous, outstanding portable Bluetooth speaker options available. Learn about more of the best Bluetooth speakers, including the Jongo S3, Boom Urchin, and several others.
Three
Portable Wireless Speakers That Don't Require Bluetooth
While the majority of wireless speakers on the market utilize Bluetooth technology, not everyone is a fan of Bluetooth. Some users report dropped sound and difficulty with pairing, while others complain about the amount of battery power used when Bluetooth is active. There are a few alternatives.
1. FAVI audio+ (Set to Connect)
FAVI audio+ offers wireless speakers for iPhone, Android, and tablet devices that use the company's proprietary Set to Connect technology. The tablet version is compatible with most tablets, including iPad, Kindle, Nook, and major brands of Android tablets.
Rather than having to pair your phone or
tablet to your speaker via a battery-draining Bluetooth connect, all you have
to do with FAVI audio+ is place your device on the speaker. It goes behind a
small ledge with a lip (like the design of an easel) and leans back on the
speaker. You can also use the speaker to amplify conference calls.
Reviews: I received a FAVI audio+ to test, so I can speak from personal experience when I say how easy it is to use. There is no fumbling to turn Bluetooth on or off, and no worries about leaving it on when you are finished listening to music only to discover your mistake when your phone's batter drains very quickly. I also found the sound quality to be good when listening to music at reasonable levels. A review on Gizmag.com reflects my experience, stating that the sound quality is decent for the speaker's price point, unless you max out the volume, at which point the sound becomes tinny.
Purchasing: You
can purchase FAVI audio+ speakers directly from Amazon. The iPhone version
costs around $50, while the Android and tablet speakers cost about $80 each.
2. Sonivo Easy Speaker (NFA)
The
Sonivo Easy Speaker uses near field audio (NFA) technology to amplify the sound
of any cell phone that has an external loudspeaker. Rather than relying on
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or any other technology, this device simply uses induction
technology to amplify sound played through the device's internal speakers.
This speaker does not require any set-up or
apps to work. Simply place your compatible mobile device on the speaker, and it
will work. It is compatible with most iOS and Android devices. It can also work
with tablets, but in order to use the speaker wirelessly, your device has to
balance on the speaker - something that can be problematic with tablets. An
audio cable is included with the speaker, which can be used to get it to work
with phones or tablets that can't be properly situated on the speaker for
wireless use.
Reviews: The
experience seems to vary by phone, as a function of speaker type and location.
A review on GadgetCore.com indicates that the Sonivo Easy Speaker works very well with iPhones, but not with HTC phones because they have dual stereo speakers. According to the reviewer, the HTC worked fine with the speaker when connected via the audio cable, but the sound quality was poor when attempting wireless use.
A review on WPXBox.com indicates that the speaker works best with those Windows phones that have "less speaker power, and (speakers) positioned at the back or at lower end of the side works best." The reviewer indicates that the speaker works very well with the 820, 720, 620, and 520 models, but not with the 920, which has very powerful side speakers.
Purchasing: Order this speaker directly from Sonivo for around $35.
Three Multi-Room Wireless Speaker Systems
There
are a number of wireless speaker options designed to allow you to enjoy single
or multi-room sound in your home or office. Some work via Wi-Fi, while others
work via Bluetooth or near-field communication (NFC) technology. Some offer
flexibility and allow users to choose among Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or NFC.
1. Sonos Play: 1 (Wi-Fi Only)
Sonos Play: 1 speakers can be used with any
WiFi network. You can use a single speaker to enjoy sound in one area, or set
up multiple speakers to enjoy sound throughout your home or office. If you are
using just one speaker, you can connect it directly to your wireless router. If
you want to use multiple speakers, you will need connect a Sonos bridge to your
wireless router.
To use this speaker with your smartphone,
tablet or computer, you'll need to download the Sonos Controller App, which
will allow you to connect your devices. The app is available for Android,
iPhone, iPad, PC and Mac. With the app, you can stream music from any of your
devices to the speaker(s) via Wi-Fi.
Reviews:Consumer Reports ranks this speaker at the top of its list of affordable wireless speaker systems that won't break your budget. They praise it for "impressive sound and ease of use" as well as "its expandability through other Sonos Play speakers, allowing listeners to build their surround sound system, one speaker at a time." It is also included in the PCMag.com list of the ten best wireless speakers, where reviewers describe it as an "affordable multi-room sound system ... with a non-Bluetooth, non-AirPlay wireless music setup."
Purchasing: You can purchase one Sonos Play: 1 speaker with a Sonos bridge for just under $250 from Sonos.com. The speaker alone (without a bridge) costs just under $200.
2. Samsung SHAPE (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC)
The Samsung SHAPE system is similar to the Sonos Play: 1 in many ways, with notable exceptions being a higher price tag and the addition of Bluetooth and NFC capabilities. A review on DigitalTrends.com goes so far as to describe it as "eerily similar to Sonos' design". The deciding factor between Sonos and Samsung lies largely with whether you really want Bluetooth and NFC capabilities for the speakers within your home wireless speaker system, and how much you are willing to pay for them.
You will need to connect the Samsung SHAPE
Wireless Audio Hub hub to your wireless router in order to set up a multi-room
system, which can consist of your choice of M5 and M7 models. To connect
multiple speakers, you'll need to download the SHAPE Audio App, which will
allow you to control all of the speakers in the system. The app is available
for iOS and Android cell phones and tablets. With a Bluetooth or NFC-enabled
mobile device, you can also access any speaker separately.
Review: According to cnet.com, the Samsung SHAPE "wireless audio system is the best competitor to Sonos yet." The cnet review praises the system's sound quality and the fact that it provides more connectivity options than Sonos (which is limited to Wi-Fi), but points out that for users who prefer not to use Bluetooth, fewer streaming services are available with this speaker system than with Sonos.
Purchasing: All of the components can be ordered directly from Samsung. The M5 speakers cost around $330 each, and the M7s cost around $500. The hub costs about $50.
3. Bose SoundLink Air (AirPlay)
If you are a loyal iOS user, the Bose
SoundLink Air digital music system is a high-quality, in-home or office system
you may want to consider. Since the system streams via AirPlay, it only works
with iOS devices, and it also requires a computer and WiFi network for set-up.
The computer can be a Mac or PC, as long as the PC is running a recent version
of iTunes.
The system features a small, lightweight
speaker that can be used anywhere within reach of the Wi-Fi network that it and
your iOS devices that are connected to it. To set up your system, you'll need
to plug it into your computer and walk through the set-up steps. Once that has
been completed, you can disconnect it from the computer and use it anywhere
within reach of your Wi-Fi network to stream music via your iOS devices. For
multiple room capabilities, you can connect more than one system to your
wireless network.
Review: A review on WhatHiFi.com praises the sound quality of the Bose SoundLink Air, referring to it as having "high build quality...well balanced sound...decent clarity... and an articulate midrange." The review also notes the high quality of materials and workmanship, describing the unit as seeming "worthy of the price tag."
Purchasing: Purchase from Amazon for around $150. No hub or router is required.
Many Speaker Options Available
There are many options for listening to music using your cell phone or tablet device. If you don't find an option that meets your needs among these wireless choices, you may want to consider exploring external wired speaker options.
Features: 2-way Instant Translator: 2.4G wireless connection, supports 2-way language translation, designed for language learner, businessmen, tourists, sojourners, etc. Easy Operation: Scan the code on the manual and download the app, install it on your Android/ IOS mobile phone, then start to use it.

Having a backcountry water purifier is essential if you will be spending any amount of time in the backcountry. Even that clean, clear-looking mountain stream may harbor nasty bacteria and viruses that will make you very sick - or worse. So, what are the best ways to purify water while you are in the backcountry? There are a number of different options.
Backcountry
Water Purifiers
When you are hiking or camping in the backcountry, it is a good idea to bring water with you. However, if you are planning an extended stay it can be difficult to carry enough water with you to meet your hydration requirements. You lose a great deal of water while hiking, especially at high elevations and dehydration is dangerous. You can avoid a potentially unsafe situation by planning for a water purification method that you can use in the wilderness. Following are the best ways to provide safe water for you to drink.
Commercial Filtration System
There are a number of commercial water
purification systems appropriate for backcountry campers. Methods of filtering
can vary from a water bottle with a built in filter, an ultraviolet pen light
that purifies up to 16 ounces of water at a time or a larger, camp-sized system
that can filter larger amounts of water at a time. A few products you may want
to try include:
When deciding on an appropriate system for
your needs there are a few things to consider. Filtering systems are most
effective when combined with a chemical purification product. In addition,
ordinary filters will not remove viruses. Some systems combine filtering and
purification techniques to effectively remove viruses along with other
contaminants.
Some things to look at when selecting the
right filter are:
Pore size: smaller is better
Maintenance: ease of cleaning
or changing of filters
Weight of the unit: you will be
carrying this around with you so you will want a light unit
Cost: cheaper isn't necessarily
better
Chemical Purification
There are many products on the market that
will purify water using iodine or chlorine. A few options that you may want to
consider include:
It is best for you to strain the water
first, and then add the chemical purifier of your choice. Allow the chemical -
which may be a tablet or a liquid - to work for about 10 minutes before
considering the water safe. It is important to pay attention to the expiration
date on chemical purification products and to follow the manufacturer's
instructions. If the product has expired it will not be effective, so check the
date before your outing and purchase new products if necessary.
Chemical purifiers have a downside, too.
For one thing, if the water is very cold the purifier is less effective. In
addition, these types of products can leave a bad taste in the water. A remedy
for this is, again, aeration, or you can add a flavoring like tea. Vitamin C
tablets added to the water will also improve flavor.
One
word of warning: if you are sensitive to iodine or have a thyroid problem, do
not choose a product that uses iodine to purify water.
Boiling
If you don't mind carrying a camp stove and fuel when you go camping in the backcountry, boiling can be an effective way of destroying contaminants in water. A single burner stove, such as the ones made by Texsport and Century, is an ideal choice.
By bringing water to a rolling boil and
allowing it to continue to boil for about 10 minutes, you will have water that
is clean and safe to drink. Ideally, avoid water with scum or other visible
debris. Filtering water through a cloth first will remove larger pollutants and
is recommended before you begin boiling your water.
The
problem with boiling water for purification is that it requires a great deal of
fuel, especially if there are several people in your camping party. It is also
time-consuming to wait for water to boil and then cool enough to drink. An
additional problem is that boiled water tends to taste flat. A simple solution
for this problem is to aerate the water by pouring it from one container to
another several times.
Stay Safe in the Backcountry
When you are hiking or camping in the
backcountry do not ever drink water that hasn't been treated. Always have some
sort of water purifier. While it is possible that you will only suffer mild
intestinal problems that will spoil your trip, it is also possible to become so
ill that the result is death. It just isn't worth the risk, especially
considering the ease and low cost of many backcountry water purifiers.

Although they aren't quite as popular as big-name brands like Singer and Bernina, Elna sewing machines have had a devoted following for decades. Famous for their reliability and ease of use, these Swiss sewing machines have been sold in the United States since the 1940s. You can find vintage models for sale in antique shops and flea markets, and modern Elna machines are available from a number of retailers.
Where
to Buy Elna Sewing Machines
Like many specialty brands, you'll have to visit an approved Elna retailer to purchase a machine. You can use Elna's Dealer Locator to find every authorized retailer in your local area. New models are not sold online.
Popular Modern Elna Models
Like
many other manufacturers, Elna understands the value of making models for
seamstresses with varying needs and experience levels. You can purchase a
simple, inexpensive machine that's perfect for a beginner or a top-of-the-line
model with all the extra features an experienced seamstress might desire. Each
model has its own pros and cons.
Elna Sew Fun
Designed for the beginner, the Elna Sew Fun is a mechanical machine that can produce 15 different stitches. At about $200, it's affordable enough to make a great child's sewing machine or a first machine for someone just dabbling in a new hobby. The quality and number of stitches are impressive, and this machine is designed to be easy to thread and use. It features an integrated light for sewing, a carrying handle, a number of accessories, and a cover.
According to PatternReview, a site that reviews sewing machines and patterns, there are a few things about the Elna Sew Fun that don't stack up to the competition. One problem is the speed control. Although the speed is supposed to be variable, it is difficult to get this machine to go slowly enough for a beginner to feel comfortable. Repositioning the needle for a narrow seam allowance also posed a problem.
Elna
eXplore 320
Another mechanical option is the Elna eXplore 320. This basic machine features 21 stitches and a 4-step buttonhole. It's easy to thread and wind the bobbin, and it comes with a number of accessories and a handy compartment to store them in. At about $300 to $450, this machine is affordable for most seamstresses.
PatternReview praises the Elna 320 for its ease of use, particularly when it comes to selecting stitches and changing the tension on the machine. The stitch quality is superior to more expensive machines from other brands. It's also very easy to change bobbins.
Elna eXcellence 740
Marketed toward sewing artists and those who want to add an extra creative touch to their quilting and sewing projects, the Elna eXcellence 740 offers a number of attractive features. Most notably, the long arm design is great for machine quilters or those who regularly sew bulky projects like slipcovers. It comes pre-set with 245 different stitches and 11 different single-step buttonhole designs. This machine also comes with numerous feet and accessories, which store in a handy compartment on the front of the machine.
With a manufacturer's suggested retail price of almost $4000, the Elna 740 is expensive even for quilting-capable machines. The seamstresses on PatternReview praise the machine's quality and its ability to stitch all types and weights of fabric. The automatic thread cutter and versatility in accepting attachments and bobbins designed for other machines also placed this near the head of the pack. Generally, the consensus is that this is a great machine but that it is somewhat over-priced.
Elna 8600
If you're looking for a machine that can perform your daily sewing tasks and also embellish your projects with beautiful embroidery, the Elna 8600 may be an excellent option. This machine comes pre-programmed with 107 different types of stitches, including multiple options for sewing buttonholes. You can also choose from three different alphabets to embroider messages or monograms on your work. It comes with hoops for embroidery, extra feet for many sewing applications, and a number of other helpful accessories. It also features an easy-to-read LCD screen.
At $2400, the price of this machine is one disadvantage. However, users on Product Reviewgave the Elna 8600 4.3 out of 5 stars, citing its ability to easily embroider large designs and still handle a range of fabrics, from delicate chiffon to heavy-duty denim. One complaint is that the machine uses PC card slots to transfer embroidery designs, rather than the more modern choice of a USB cable.
Vintage Elna Machines
Since Elna has been selling sewing machines to US consumers for more than 70 years, you can also find antique and vintage models. Ebay is a great online source for used modern Elna machines, as well as vintage and antique options. You'll also find these sewing machines at antique shops, flea markets, and even thrift stores.
Elna 1 - Produced from 1940 to
1952, this machine is affectionately known as the "grasshopper"
because of its green color.
Lotus - The Lotus, which was
produced from 1969 to 1980, had distinctive protective flaps that opened up to
reveal the machine or closed to create an integrated case.
Zigzag - Produced in various
forms from 1956 to 1977, the Zigzag was notable for its ability to produce both
straight stitches and zigzag stitches.
Should You Buy an Elna?
In general, the lower priced Elna machines
are still more expensive than the competition, but reviewers maintain that they
produce a superior stitch quality. Higher-end models make great quilting or
embroidery machines but are still expensive for many consumers. If you're
considering an Elna sewing machine, examine the features on each particular
model and determine whether the brand name and stitch quality are worth the
extra money for you.

About
Cell Phone Donations
With cell phone technology changing so rapidly, many people upgrade to the latest and greatest models even though they already own telephones that are in serviceable condition. This has created a surplus of cell phone equipment that is taken out of service and thrown away sooner than is necessary. Fortunately, secondhand cell phones that are still in good shape don't have to end up taking up space in landfills. Instead, they can be donated to charitable organizations that will see to it that they are used to provide assistance to people who are in need. Some organizations refurbish and reprogram phones to provide to needy individuals and law enforcement agencies and others sell donated cell phones as a way of raising money to provide services to disadvantaged populations.
Three Organizations That Accept Donated Cell Phones
Several
charitable organizations accept donated cell phones. Here are a few examples of
groups you may want to connect with the next time you have a used phone that
needs a new home. Here are three examples of nonprofit organizations that accept
donations of used cell phones.
1. 911 Cell Phone Bank
The 911 Cell Phone Bank accepts donations of used cell phones that are used to provide support and assistance to participating law enforcement entities and charitable organizations that provide services to victims throughout the United States. Nonprofit organizations that choose to participate in the program are asked to collect used phones and send them to the Cell Phone Bank. A donation is made for each phone received. Depending on condition and technology, some of the donated phones are recycled while others are refurbished and provided to participating law enforcement agencies as needed. Visit 911CellPhoneBank.org's website for details on how to donate cell phones to the organization.
2. Cell Phones for Soldiers
Cell Phones for Soldiers collects used cell phones and accessories. Donations are sold to a business that recycles this type of equipment. The money raised is used to purchase calling cards for deployed military troops and their families. If you have a phone that you'd like to donate, visit the organization's website and browse the online drop off point directory to find a place to make your donation. The organization's website also provides information on how you can set up an official donation collection station if you are interested in getting involved on a large scale.
3. Recycling for Charities
Charitable organizations looking for a way to raise money can sign up to participate in the Recycling for Charities program. Individuals and groups that donate old phones to be recycled are able to select the nonprofit they'd like to support from the list of participating charities when they print shipping labels for their donations. The selected charity receives a cash donation for each phone donated on its behalf. Donations are recycled and sold, making this program a win-win arrangement for the company collecting the equipment, the charities that benefit financially from donations and the environment.
Donate Cell Phones and Make a Difference
The next time you upgrade to a new cell phone, don't toss your old unit in the trash. Instead, donate it to a charitable organization that collects, reprograms and refurbishes this type of equipment to give to people who are in need. Choose one of the national organizations described above or look for a similar program in your local community.
