Polaroid Music Players ($59.99 – $289.99):
The iconic camera company Polaroid has been making moves in the portable bluetooth speaker space. With their collection of four speakers, ranging from budget-friendly hand-helds to beefy and loud portables, Polaroid’s Music Players bring style to sound.
Each speaker provides clean, solid audio, but in a crowded product space, what truly makes Polaroid’s audio system special is the aesthetic, a colorful retro-futuristic vibe with a kindercore bend. Most portable speakers are black or white blocks, but the Polaroid Music Players are sleek and colorful, with quality design choices like the analog control wheel and 8×8 dot-matrix display. With the additions of hand straps, carabiners, and handles, they’re ready to bring the tunes wherever you happen to be headed.
Polaroid has also come up with a proprietary music app for access to Polaroid Radio, currently featuring five genre-spanning, ad-free stations. You can autolaunch the app on your phone by touching the players’ NFC tag, and it will allow you to control any app’s playback via the speaker’s own buttons and wheel. You can even “like” radio songs on either device to keep track of your favorite new discoveries in Polaroid Radio..
