Bluetooth speakers have been around for quite a while, and whether they are shaped like pills, bricks or boxes they have continue to take off with immense popularity. This year, there are many different offerings to choose from.

Bluetooth is a technology that allows you to wirelessly use your phone, computer, MP3 player and other devices. With a Bluetooth speaker, you are able to play music from your device wirelessly and get a much better quality sound.

Let's take a look at the hot Bluetooth speakers for 2014.

Bose has two notable offerings, but they are quite pricey. There's the Soundlink Mini Speaker (about $200) and the Soundlink Speaker III (about $300). Both are rated four out of five stars by critics on CNET.

Here is an affordable, yet durable Bluetooth speaker from TDK Life. This Bluetooth speaker is actually weatherproof. Take the party outdoors and enjoy tailgating before your favorite sports event, no matter the weather. It's only $120 on Amazon and based on 116 reviews on the website, it is rated four out of five stars.

There are certainly Bluetooth speakers available for those who don't feel like spending $100 or more on one of these devices. Maybe you aren't quite sure about the sound quality or are just saving up for better gifts for the family.

There's an answer to that.

For as low as $68.95 you can get a Logitech X300 Mobile wireless speaker. This is a great speaker for its price as Amazon reviewers are rating it a four out of five stars. You can be up to 30 feet away from the speaker and still be able to play your music. It's definitely a good value and has quality too. There are four different color choices to choose from on Amazon.
