We recently tested the Argon Audio Fenris A4, and now it’s the turn of the next model in the series, the Argon Audio Fenris A5. The family resemblance between the two models is obvious. You almost have to have the two speakers set up next to each other to spot the difference. Which is that …
Bose SoundLink Flex is designed to withstand harsh weather, and if you lose it in the spa or pool for a few minutes, it’s fine. The same goes for shallow water at the beach, as it’s also dustproof and can therefore withstand salt and sand. It has a nice, rounded shape, and while it’s not …

Sony SRS-NB10 is a set of small wireless speakers integrated in a neckband. You wear it around your neck and can thus carry the sound with you on your shoulders. It must be said to be a concept that has quite a lot in common with headphones, but the difference is that you must also …

But put it in the right environment, turn up the volume and prepare to be blown over. Sony MHC-V73D, is a huge speaker that is aimed specifically at karaoke, parties and places where a regular Bluetooth …
Samsung’s largest party speaker looks like it would be able to compete with a concert venue for sound volume. With a full 1500 W of power, one would think that would be the case as well, but as we shall see, it is a claim that does not hold up. The floor-standing MX-T70 is among …
Actually, it is a little too big to fit in the shoulder bag. Maybe that’s why the JBL Xtreme 3 comes with a shoulder strap.

One of the best things about the smart home is that you get the opportunity to feel a bit like a James Bond villain when the appliances in the house obey your slightest hint. All that is needed is a wall filled with control screens to watch with satisfaction as the plans for world domination …
Wireless speakers are not in short supply, to say the least. But a Danish-developed, Danish-produced and hand-built wireless speaker is not something we are used to seeing. Siala was founded in 2018 by friends Patrick Wayne Hejlesen and Jonas Palm, and Siala Saga is their first product. A wireless lifestyle speaker at the upper end …
