Beosound Explore Wireless Portable Bluetooth Speaker with USB C Charging Cable, IP67 Dustproof and Waterproof Speaker for Outdoors, Home and Travel Green, One Size

This little thing is loud, clear sound, easy to set up, looks really cool, the battery is fantastic, and when you get the companion app it lets you customise the sound profile. Most of the reviews that say the bass isn’t as good as Bose probably haven’t used the app. I tried it with a fairly large range of genres and everything sounds good. The metal body feels robust and well built. The only thing it struggles with, which is common for a speaker this size.. is the really low “wobble-bass” in certain electronic genres, but the sound doesn’t crack at all even then. If you’ve got the money to spend, this has over 2x the battery life of other speakers at the same price point. It’s also rated at a max output of 60 watts (loud. Very loud), while most others in this range deliver 30 watts. If you really hate your neighbours, get two and stereo pair them together on the app. Two thumbs up!

Urrrrgh, it's just perfect! It's genuinely even more wonderful in person. It's small enough to hold in the palm of your hand (see photo of it in the palm of my hand), and it's stunning. I know, looks don't matter, etc etc, except they absolutely do, of course they do, and this is the Angelina Jolie of speakers; the Ana de Armas of bluetooth... so gorgeous you'll want to do unspeakable things to it. I'm not a degenerate, so I'm just using it to play music but, honestly, your mileage may vary, and I won't judge you for it. Just quickly, I know apps are a pain, and bloody everything wants you to download a bloody app these days, but this app is worth getting. You can change your sound mode (adjust bass, etc); use it to pair two speakers together for stereo, etc etc. Definitely worth getting - you're very limited with what you can do from the unit itself: essentially, on, off, skip, play, and volume control. It pairs with my phone's bluetooth easily - catches it first time within a second or so, and makes a delightful plink-plonk sound when you turn it on. The sound is lovely... but, I admit, it could maybe do with having a bit more bass, if that's your sort of thing. Again, you can increase the bass via the app (photos shows the wheel you use - you can manually move the sound around and land on your perfect spot), but if you like it super, super deep, this may not scratch your itch. Saying that, for my sins, I've discovered a guilty love for dubstep, and this showcases the heavy drops (God forgive me) very nicely. (I am legitimately ashamed of using the phrase "heavy drop" in front of people.) The battery is amazing, too - I'm fairly convinced it lasts longer than 27 hours, because I've used it a tonne, and I've yet to re-charge it. If it's not been in use for 27hrs yet, it's very close, and there are no issues with sound quality or lag or owt. The only thing I would say is, for the money, you'd want it to come with a case, ideally. I'll treat mine like the treasure that it is, and I'll never let any harm come to it, but knocks can and do happen (just not to mine!) so a case being included would have been good. It comes with two flimsy silicone caps for the top and bottom but they're no good. I bought this hard shell case at the same time, and it works a treat (and it matches!) so that's highly recommended, too. Lovely, Green Speaker is probably my most treasured possession, and I can't see the novelty of it ever wearing off, so if you're on the fence, I can't say enough good things about it. (But, given my taste in music, I would not blame you if you feel I can't be trusted.)

I purchased this to work with my TV when I am sitting out on the patio with the TV inside. Because of its fast Bluetooth Version 5.2. used in conjunction with a Miccus Home RTX Pro Bluetooth 5.1 transmitter ( from Amazon USA ) I cannot pick up any lag in lip movement and the arrival of the sound. I carried it down to the back fence of the property, probably 30 meters, where I could no longer see the TV and the sound quality was excellent. No sign of dropping out. Extremely pleased.

I have many B&O products and this is a complete disappointment. Sound is not good, even JBL sounds nicer. Likewise battery. Nothing near advertised. Dents easily even from a minor bungle. For the price and everything else, I’d suggest giving this B&O product a miss and look elsewhere for something for a go anywhere speaker…
