Emberton is the smallest portable speaker from Marshall, and looks like a rather shrunk down guitar amp. A look many rock lovers will be familiar with, and one that almost require a beer nearby … Despite very compact dimensions, the weight is as much as 700 grams, which is 120 grams heavier than the physically …
If you need a smart speaker that is also portable, the JBL Link Portable may be right up your alley. It is docked on a charging plate, and can be moved out into the garden if you want relaxing music while reading a book or solving crossword puzzles. It can also be used as a …
The Sony SRS-XB23 is a speaker in a handy, portable format. It is large enough to get some volume and bass, at the same time the narrow cylinder shape fits well in the hand. A string sits on top, to hang it on a peg or rod. The speaker is completely dustproof, and is waterproof …
Monitor Audio Climate 60 is more square and feels more old-fashioned than the other outdoor speakers. On our pair, the white color has a yellow stitch reminiscent of the original Macintosh computer. Or that they come from a home where they smoke indoors. To help with the bass register, Monitor Audio has placed an oval, …
If you are going to have a party in the garden, a Klipsch speaker is the obvious choice. Few speakers play as loud and tough as a Klipsch, and the AW-525 outdoor speaker is no exception. It’s made mostly for fun, and hi-fi purists might want to choose something else. The Klipsch AW-525 is not …
English Q Acoustics is known for their passive speakers with a nice price-quality ratio. We were particularly impressed by the top model, Concept 500, which won our title as the best of the year in its category. Now, however, the people of Woking have directed their attention to active wireless speakers. The first result is …
Whether to call the Magnifi Mini a soundbar or not is up for debate. It does not have the “log” design, but instead resembles a medium-sized Bluetooth speaker. It does have Bluetooth for music playback, but it is, still intended to be in the TV room. There must be many who are interested in such …
LG has several areas of expertise, and especially on the TV front, they can beat themselves up as one of the very best. A TV then also needs sound, and the easiest and prettiest way to the goal is with a soundbar. And just when it comes to soundbars, LG has not always hit the …
An soundbar is a very practical way to improve the TV sound. But even though I personally am very happy that the cheap plastic surround systems have been completely outcompeted by the much simpler soundbars, it is clearly a compromise compared to real home cinema. Most soundbars use advanced digital processing (DSP) to trick the …
Most smart speakers with multi-room function are discreet small sizes that can be discreetly placed on a shelf from which they can spread background music or answer questions such as “What is the name of the capital of Argentina?” to impress innocent guests. That category does not fall into the Harman Kardon Citation Tower. The …
Libratone voice control with Alexa, so your English skills should be in place. But when everything is connected, and your gadgets are connected in the system, then it is a common affair to control the speaker and other connected products. Alexa is also good at coming up with follow-up questions if you have come up …
The cylindrical Harman Kardon Citation 100 is truly a sight, compared to the usual other speakers in this class. Our copy came in gray wool, and is so tasteful that even the wife could imagine having one. The user experience is the same as with other Google speakers. Which means that it both understands Norwegian, …
HomePod is really elaborate in appearance. A 360 speaker that sends the sound (roughly) the same in all bills, and which you only know will work seamlessly as soon as you browse the Home app on your iPhone. Apple can do this with stability. Adding products you want to control does not go smoothly. To …
After drawing an Amazon account with a street address in a supported country (we used U.K.), the initial setup is straightforward and intuitive. If you have a smart product that you do not find with “add device”, then it may still exist as a “skill”. We noticed this, for example, with our robot vacuum cleaner …
From Swedish Sudio, we have previously only seen headphones in different formats, and we have only tested their in-ear plugs. Such as the beautiful Sudio Vasa Blue. Now they have also started with speakers in the form of portable and battery-powered Sudio Femtio. Construction and handling Like the previously mentioned earplugs, Femtio looks very pretty …
