Navigating airline electronics regulations can be tricky, and speakers, being commonly used devices, often come under scrutiny.
In Short:
Speakers are typically allowed on planes, but one must adhere to airline-specific regulations, especially concerning batteries.
Deep Dive:
Most airlines have no qualms about speakers in luggage. But there’s a catch when it comes to Bluetooth speakers with lithium-ion batteries. Due to potential fire hazards associated with these batteries, airlines have imposed restrictions on their transportation.
Passengers are usually required to keep such speakers in carry-on bags, ensuring they can address any unlikely battery issues. The battery capacity, often measured in watt-hours (Wh), can also come under scrutiny, with most airlines setting an upper limit.
Always consult with your airline ahead of time, removing any potential for surprises at security checks.
