There may be more Bluetooth speakers than any other product type at CES 2014 and they come in an endless variety of shapes, sizes and colors. We'll be adding to this list as the show goes on, but here's what we've seen so far.
Pictured above is a handbag-shaped Bluetooth speaker from Acoustic Research's "AR for her" line, scheduled to come out in the spring.
A Blueooth speaker with a built-in flashlight? Why not. RCA's Toolbox bills itself as a "14-in-1" multifunction job-site radio, for your rough-and-tumble audio needs.
Massive Audio, maker of car audio gear, unleashed a full-size Dalek studded with the company's equipment. Massive Audio is advertising the "Massive Dalek" as the world's loudest and largest Bluetooth speaker.

Soundfreaq's Pocket Kick is just 1.2 inches thick, sporting two 2.5-watt drivers in its compact cabinet. It supports Bluetooth 4.0 with a rechargeable battery that's quoted to last 10 hours.

The Soundfreaq Sound Rise alarm clock supports Bluetooth 4.0 and has a mini-jack input.

Sony's SRS-X9 is its flagship wireless speaker for 2014, capable of playing back high-resolution audio files and supports just about every wireless feature you can imagine, including Bluetooth, aptX, NFC, Wi-Fi, AirPlay, and DLNA.
