Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Ekim · 9 Aug 2015 at 14:28

Looking to get a new Bluetooth Speaker. Mainly for using around the flat but also for when we go away on holidays.

Probably don't want to spend more than £150. Have been looking round at reviews online but can't seem to find consensus from one review to another.

Been looking at:

Sony SRS-X5
Cambridge Audio Go
Bose Soundlink II

Want to make sure I get the best bang for my buck but not sure where to go. Any opinions from people here?

Basically the exact same 3 I narrowed it down too when I was looking for one of these. I found it hard to chose between them as they are all pretty good. I'd probably go with whichever one you like the look off as the sound quality is good in all.

Which did you end up going for?

I have the Cambridge Audio, excellent speaker.

I saw the Cambridge Audio Go v2 at a Richer Sounds today and ruled it out as I didn't like the aesthetics.

Have you looked at the Envaya Denon Mini?

I bought a Sony SRS-X55 recently and am liking it a lot. It's good for outdoor use, packs a nice punchy bassy sound and has a decent balance for most genres of music.

This thread talks a bit about various other models around the £120-£150 mark:

Ended up picking up the SRS-X55 from Currys for £99.99. Only had it this evening but hits the mark with wanted I wanted.

Cheers
