Cost no object (within reason). I have heard songs are good.

Forget to say must be portable for holidays. Thanks

I have had a Bose Mini Soundlink for a number of years. Decent sound with plenty of bass and benefits from careful positioning. Compact and good for travel. Cost £180 at the time. Always take it on holiday.

Also have a Bose Mini Soundlink - very competent device. A few years old now and still going strong. Lots of alternatives about these days

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.

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

Thanks for the suggestions, I will have a look.

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)

I hope you enjoy your new purchase Stu, you're probably lucky as I guess you don't have neighbours as such.

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?
