I bought Ethan a wireless speaker to let him enjoy other people's performance (because he is learning the piano himself, see our experience in buying a piano), and did a lot of homework and comparison during the process. Here are some good wireless Bluetooth speakers, including very cheap, entry-level, and mid-range price points.
