Bob is a big audiophile we talk about what are the best speakers,, headphones, and other devices that make your iPhone or iPad sound great. Add links here Airpods vs PowerBeats portability in mind Powerbeats Pro vs. Powerbeats 3 The actual headphones you use are also a huge contributor to sound quality. There are hundreds of headphones. In-ear, on-ear, over-ear. Closed and Open designs. For portable or out and about I really like the in-ear monitor. For these we need the lightning to 3.5mm headphone "dongle" on the iPhone https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MU7E2AM/A/usb-c-to-35-mm-headphone-jack-adapte Three headphones that Bob likes for portability: Etymotic.

A set of three sizes are about $20. I highly recommend them. Bluetooth Speakers I rarely use Bluetooth speakers as I have found that for a lot of my use case the iPad Pro speakers are really very good. The do not fill the room but they are comfortable. And there is nothing else to keep charged. One of the reasons I get iPad's loaded up with storage is to hold music for offline use. I have an older Bose mini speaker to use when we travel. HomePod? They are great as a Pair. Calendaring is still not making me happy. We briefly discuss calendering woes.
