Bang & Olufsen’s products enjoy a status like few others. Whether it’s a pocket speaker or a giant TV, you can count on design and build quality in a class of their own. And usually at a matching price level! Thus also the Beosound Level, which is a portable, battery-powered speaker slightly larger than an …

Sony has updated its portable Extra Bass speakers. The SRS-XB32 ran just as well with the victory in our group test of portable speakers last autumn, with its long battery life of 24 hours and good sound. But neither it nor its siblings had USB C charging, it is in place in the new series. …

The HiFi club’s own brand Argon Audio is often unabashedly good for the price, such as Alto 5 Active. Over time, the range has grown, and now there are both headphones, and as in this case, portable Bluetooth speakers. If you think that Argon Audio Style is too big or too expensive, there is also …

By all means, be careful with these speakers. They play louder than you think, putting the competition behind them in a deafeningly dynamic sound, where Decibel is always written in capital D.
