How does the sound quality of one compare to that Sony BT speaker?
Sound quality is as good, base and volume isn't quite. In the smaller areas (bedroom, kitchen and play room) that's not an issue. In the living room I think ideally we need another (one at either end of the room).
I think I'll probably be tempted in at some point to get a smaller Nest speaker (currently £25, down from £50) and put that in the bedroom and then move that one downstairs so that it becomes the second living room unit. It feels a slippery slope though at the moment as I then end up thinking I may as well get one for the utility room, downstairs loo and various other little locations without knowing actually how much we'll use them.
I still use the Sony BT speaker in the bathroom (for showing) and taking out to work. It's a fairly decent one as I've run many (pre-covid) garden parties and BBQs using it.
