Can you bring a portable wireless speaker on a plane?
Of course.
Portable speakers have become increasingly popular, especially when combined with powered speaker systems and wireless capabilities, allowing you to enjoy music anytime, anywhere. For those who travel or commute, portable speakers can add a lot of vibrancy to your trip. There are various types available, such as party speakers, portable Bluetooth speakers, PA speakers, vintage speakers, and soundbars, and we will list them all.
Regulations Regarding Electronic Devices on Flights
The TSA or FAA allows passengers to carry speakers onboard, but there may be certain conditions and restrictions depending on the airline and destination.
Generally, here are some common guidelines:
Regarding Electronic Devices with Batteries
1. Regarding Electronic Devices with Batteries
If your carry-on baggage contains lithium batteries, such as electric razors, laptops, tablets, or other electronic devices, you will need to check the battery capacity at airport security.
The specific capacity of the lithium battery must be clearly marked on the device.
If the device does not have a clear capacity marking, it may not be allowed as a carry-on item.
2. Portable Wireless Speakers are also Subject to Restrictions
Portable speakers are generally considered personal electronic devices and can be carried on board.
However, if the device contains a battery, the airline may impose restrictions on battery transport.
Devices with a built-in battery capacity of no more than 100Wh can be carried as personal items.
3. Ensure Your Battery Capacity is Within Specification
Passengers may carry personal, self-contained portable electronic devices with lithium batteries as carry-on baggage, provided that the lithium battery's rated energy does not exceed 100Wh (watt-hours).
With airline approval, devices with a capacity exceeding 100Wh but not exceeding 160Wh may be allowed in checked or carry-on baggage.
4. Airlines also Limit the Weight and Quantity of Electronic Devices
Airlines also have restrictions on the size and weight of carry-on items. Ensure your portable speaker meets the airline's requirements to avoid being required to check it or being refused transport.
In addition, some airlines may limit the number of electronic devices carried or require them to be placed in checked baggage.
