Audiophiles, here’s something for you to get excited about: the KAKKOii WOW portable, wireless Bluetooth speaker. This little gem of a device, which was created by London designer Antonio Arevalo, brings both functionality and style to any place you want to hear your music. Want to listen to Mozart while cooking dinner, Jay-Z when working out, or something to rock out to while taking a shower? Now you can do so with ease, thanks to the fact that you can listen to your favorite playlists in any room in your house. Better yet, you can even bring the WOW speaker with you to the beach or the ballpark.

The WOW — an acronym for With-Out-Wires — speaker is made of durable silicone and comes in six poppy shades — pink, red, blue, yellow, white and black — so you can pick the one that suits your decor and personality.  Its conical shape allows you to change its position for three different types of sound. Prop it face up for 360 degrees of sound, on its side for directed sound and face down to muffle it.

The  KAKKOii WOW speaker has a Bluetooth connection with up to a 33-foot wireless range. In addition it has a built-in rechargeable battery that lasts for up to four to six hours. Best of all, it automatically goes silent when you receive a phone call, so you don’t have to worry about fumbling with the speaker. When you’re done with the call it auto plays.

Finally, a portable speaker device that looks just as good as it sounds.

The KAKKOii WOW Bluetooth Portable Speaker, $80 at amazon.com.

The best shows and movies to watch on Apple TV Plus in May
Apple TV+ has an impressive library that includes great movies and shows
Austin Butler in Masters of the Air.

When computer company Apple announced that it was getting into the streaming TV game, there were plenty of people who were skeptical about the company's ability to pull it off. Why would the tech giant, which is most known for the Macintosh and the iPhone, have any credibility in making television shows? It doesn't seem the two ideas would mesh in any meaningful way, but in the years since Apple TV Plus launched, the company has come up with some pretty impressive original shows, and it picked up a Best Picture Oscar on top of that.
What's even more impressive is that these Apple TV shows and movies run the gamut from comedy to drama, and are all set in wildly different and imaginative places. Apple may be best known for making great phones, but it turns out it knows how to tell pretty interesting stories, too. These Apple TV movies and shows are the cream of the crop and the best on this streaming service.
If you're looking for more great stuff to stream, you should also check out our lists of the best shows on Netflix, the best shows on Hulu, and the best shows on Disney Plus.
