These affordable Bluetooth-enabled speakers, wearables, and headphones provide long battery life – long enough to finish an entire audiobook.
Now, when all Kindle models are capable of playing Audible audiobooks, it’s high time to look at the best available headphones, earbuds, and portable speakers.
What you have to keep in mind is that Kindle e-readers don’t have a headphone jack. The only way to listen to Kindle audiobooks is via Bluetooth speakers and headphones.
The main advantage of Bluetooth headphones is that they are wireless. You are not limited by cables and irritated by cable mess. You can freely move around your room or garden while the Kindle is lying on a table.
The main disadvantage of Bluetooth headphones is that you need to recharge them. Compared to the Kindle, which runs a few weeks on a single charge, you’ll have to find a power source every even day.
That’s why, in the list below, we’ve rounded up Bluetooth headphones and speakers that have the longest possible battery life.
Nevertheless, if you are going on a vacation to a distant cabin in the woods, and plan to listen to audiobooks via your Kindle, make sure to take the charger. You will need it.
One would ask: why should I listen to audiobooks via the Kindle if I can do it via Echo smart speaker? There are two reasons: you can’t download audiobooks to the speaker (so listening offline is not possible), and you probably won’t take it on your holidays.

In the following overview of the best, most innovative Kindle compatible speakers, headphones, and home appliances, you will see:
- Innovative bedside and desk lamps with built-in Bluetooth speakers
- Long-battery earphones for every weather condition
- Outdoor speakers with extensive high-fidelity sound
- Compact and waterproof Bluetooth speakers
