Shoppers surprised by £18 'compact' bluetooth speaker that provides 'non stop' battery
For those who enjoy listening to music, radio, podcasts or audiobooks, a portable speaker is a must-have gadget. Allowing you to hear your favourite tunes or stories in a better quality than your smartphone, these nifty devices can be used around the house, in your car or taken on outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling.
Now while there are many variations of speakers on the market, many come with hefty price tags and are quite heavy and large in size. If shoppers are looking for something more compact in size that still provides quality sound, we may have found the perfect device on Amazon.
Many shoppers have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the soundcore Select 4 Go Ultra Portable Bluetooth Speaker which has been reduced to £18.99 in a limited time deal (RRP £28.99).
Available in six colours, it features a handy strap so shoppers can easily attach it to their bag for added convenience while out for a walk, hiking or cycling. This compact portable speaker also packs a punch as it can produce clear and dynamic 5W sound.
Designed to fit each user's individual needs, this funky speaker is equipped with a customisable Pro EQ to allow users to alter the audio to provide the perfect sound for each song. Additionally, for a more surround sound experience, shoppers can connect this device with another speaker to create an immersive experience.
To make this speaker perfect for use no matter the occasion, it boasts a IP67 rating to provide full protection against water and dust, along with a battery life of up to 20 hours meaning shoppers will have peace of mind that their device will continue to provide non stop audio throughout the day.
For those looking for something bigger in size but still for a budget friendly price, Amazon has also put the popular RIENOK Bluetooth Speaker on a limited time deal. Reduced from £32.99 down to £24.22, this speaker has over 30,600 ratings and can provide up to 30 hours of playtime per charge.
Alternatively, for those happy to splurge a bit, shoppers can save £30 on the Sony ULT Field 3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker when they buy through Argos. Normally retailing for £159.99, tech fans can now snatch up this highly rated device for £129.99.
Back to the soundcore speaker, over 4,000 Amazon shoppers have awarded the device a 4.7 star rating, with over 500 people buying the handy gadget in the last 30 days.
One happy shopper said: "Nice small speaker. Good battery life. I used it non-stop for 17 hours and the battery was still going. Good sound quality. Value for money."
With another five-star reviewer adding: "For the price, currently (Jul 25), this is by far the best speaker at anywhere near this price point. Very very positively surprised at the sound quality and the battery performance is outstanding. If you have over £100 to spend, there are better speakers but otherwise I wouldn't look at anything other than this."
However, not everyone was fully impressed, as one person wrote: "It's alright it you need a decent speaker for one or two things. If you want something with more kick with bass and all then this is not it."
While another customer noted a way of improving the speaker: "Have the battery level broadcast over Bluetooth on iOS like pretty much every other Bluetooth speaker ever and every other Soundcore speaker."
Despite this, a top reviewer praised: "What great little speakers! Compact and light yet the sound is really good given the size (and price). They followed me everywhere on holiday - on hikes, on the beach, in the hotel room… they are perfect. Great value for money."
With a sixth customer adding: "Excellent design, well made and incredible value for money - performs better than some bigger name rival manufacturers products costing more than three times as much!"
Shoppers can now snap up the soundcore Select 4 Go Ultra Portable Bluetooth Speaker for £18.99 in a limited time deal.
