🔊 Bluetooth speaker

It passes through without any issue in carry-on. Bluetooth speakers are permitted in both carry-on and checked baggage, and the lithium battery inside is within the standard safe limits for cabin travel. You do not need to remove it from your bag for screening.

No meaningful restrictions exist in any of the regions we cover — a Bluetooth speaker with a standard consumer lithium battery is permitted in carry-on and checked baggage everywhere. The only relevant consideration is the general lithium battery guidance: the battery is safer in the cabin than in the hold, and spare or external batteries must always travel in carry-on.

A large speaker can appear as a dense or irregularly shaped mass on X-ray, and screeners may ask to take a closer look. You are not required to remove it from your bag proactively, but if a screener asks you to take it out for a secondary inspection it is a routine check. Having it in an easily accessible part of your bag speeds this up.

Carry-on is the better choice for two reasons: lithium batteries are genuinely safer in the cabin where crew can respond to any fault, and checked baggage can expose electronics to rough handling, temperature extremes, and compression that can damage the speaker or its battery. If you must check it, make sure the speaker is fully protected and the battery is charged to a mid-level — avoid checking it completely flat or fully charged.
