I have 2 brands of wifi speakers in my house, plus 2 brands of Bluetooth speaker that I use. Why have Bluetooth speakers when Ive got Wifi speakers? Portability, flexibility and ease of use.
I use the Bluetooth speakers to listen to music and audio books, occasionally I use them as conference speakers (Teams; Zoom). They accompany me outside for social events and also for workouts. In all honesty, as Bluetooth is so reliable and quick I use Bluetooth more than wifi.
This speaker fits my requirements perfectly in size, being slightly smaller than the one it replaces.
Unpacking & First Impression
Recyclable packaging is secure and good quality. The speaker is contained in a thin foam/plastic sleeve. A USB A to C cable is included plus a quick start guide. Whilst were in transition to USB C, I understand the continuing use of USB A but I was hoping for C-C.
The unit has a carry cord which is surprisingly useful. I genuinely use it nearly all the time as I wander around with it.
