One my highlights of CES 2026 was hearing Fender Audio's Bluetooth speakers in person – not because they're wildly innovative (though the company has some cool ideas), but because they just sound great.
Fender Audio is a separate company to the guitar maker's core business, but it's run by a former Fender employee. Quite a few people – including us, in our news coverage – were surprised and maybe disappointed that these don't look like a Fender amp or the body of a telecaster, but I feel safe saying these people won't be disappointed by the sound.
