I need a Bluetooth speaker
Cost no object (within reason). I have heard songs are good.

Re: I need a Bluetooth speaker
I have a few different ones, but I do like these:
Soundcore Flare Mini Bluetooth Speaker ... HJNEG2D3B3
I run a pair in stereo. Works very well, and battery life is very decent.
Most Bluetooth speakers play audio back in. Mono, which I always find very annoying.

Re: I need a Bluetooth speaker
I was looking for one before I came to Cambodia and was going to plump for a Denon Envaya, either DSB mini100 or 250
You have to play nearer the end to hear the 250

Re: I need a Bluetooth speaker
I ended up getting a JBL Charge 5 from Richer Sounds. Haven't used it yet but will be putting it through it's paces when we have friends round next weekend (in the gatden ofc).
It's got a passive radiator on each end and a dedicated tweeter ( apparently)

Re: I need a Bluetooth speaker
I hope you enjoy your new purchase Stu, you're probably lucky as I guess you don't have neighbours as such.

Re: I need a Bluetooth speaker
Having listened to some Soundcore speakers on YouTube, I get the feeling they are good value and good sounding, I did like the mini Flare, and also saw it paired with another one. I was unsure whether they gave true stereo or are both speakers just playing the same left and right together?TheMarlin wrote: ↑Sun May 02, 2021 9:10 pm I have a few different ones, but I do like these:
