JEMColoradoI have a Klipsch The One and have an Echo Dot connected. There may be better sounding speakers out there, but it sounds fine to me and looks great, too.
tigerinhoustonMy Klipsch The One and my Soundcores do this.
CamachoBrawndoBest recommendation. I forgot what ones I have but I like that I can swap between 1/8" and 1/4" cords and the 1/8" has an inline mic so I can use them for work calls too. I use my headphones a lot more than my actual monitors- and you can't beat the portability. It's nice to be able to work with one piece of gear on the couch or on the porch - especially if battery powered. I do have a Klipsh bluetooth speaker that has multiple connectors that is fairly portable and great sound.
