Bluetooth speaker

[Ex-User (72296)]

Any recommendations for a Bluetooth speaker? Max budget is around £150 but id rather not spend that much.

Big Jambox is about that much. Absolutely brilliant.

Use it around the house for listening to music from my iPhone in the kitchen or bedroom getting ready for work sometimes. Have taken it for picnics/camping/beach visits before too.

Battery lasts for ages, it's VERY loud for it's size. Bass cutoff is about 60 or 70hz IIRC (from testing with YT vids).

There might be something better out there for the money these days but I'd buy it again if I had the choice.

Thanks mate. I've got a Bose Soundlink which is brilliant but it's about £220, and my girlfriend doesn't want the same as me. I'll take a look, any others?

Beats pill?

Did you see my above post lol?

Don’t buy the Beats Pill. Just don’t. Even if you like that classic Beats sound, the thumping low-end and rich, sculpted audio, you won’t like the Pill. It distorts at stunningly low volumes, and never sounds anywhere near as good as it should. It’s among the most expensive speakers on this list, and one of the worst-sounding. Stay far away.

Thanks all, that Logitech Boom looks alright!

Lol no, it was only a suggestion, I've not even listened to one.

Personally you get what you pay for, I'd pay the extra for B&Ws offering but at £300 it's not cheap (albeit the best on the market).

Bose Soundlink Mini. Worth every penny.

f**king loud, very clear, very good quality.

Came third in the above reviews

On pure sound quality alone, the SoundLink Mini can’t be beat. It produces full, rich, clean, natural, and dynamic audio of all sorts; it’s shockingly good for a speaker this small. But its connection is inconsistent and its range is poor, only going up to about 15 feet, and the SoundLink has nothing in the way of extras or cool added features. Plus, it’s heavy. It sounds great, but that’s not all I want in a portable Bluetooth speaker.
