A REALLY COOL LITTLE THING. OR TWO?

Who'd have thought it in such a tiny little thing? But when you turn on this Sony mini, you'll be rolling your own eyeballs. There's a hefty dose of powerful sound hidden in its compact size. It's equipped with a 46mm wideband transducer and a passive radiator. Combined with the Extra Bass function, this means one thing - a supercharged bass sound that accentuates the low end. What's more, this sound will roll out of the speaker in all directions. A special processor with DSP technology thus enhances the range of the sound, which is much wider. So watch out for pissed off neighbours at the garden party, the sound will go further than you think. If that's still not the right treat for your ears, get these speakers two and make them twins. You can easily pair them with each other to launch an unforgettable stereo party with surround sound that will have the city's police cars rolling by.

A TRUE RAIN BUDDY

Everyone wants a rain buddy who can hold them up in the worst storms. And that's what this Sony speaker does best. With an IP67 rating, it can withstand rain, splashes and even a fall into the pool. It's also dustproof, so feel free to take it with you into dusty environments. You'll be just like Mad Max, who wasn't deterred from a good party by a sandstorm on his frantic journey. If you need a good sound system for an outdoor party, this Sony speaker is the perfect choice. In this case, you'll also appreciate its handy carrying strap. You can easily hang it anywhere. Like on a tree branch, where it'll scream at you for the next 16 hours. After that, it'll just need to plug - a USB-C cable into its charging slot.

WHAT'S COMING?

A supercharged Sony Bluetooth speaker with a compact size for easy portability and a detachable strap + USB-C cable for charging it.

MAGIC BOX

The magic box in this case is Sony's stylish box.

COULD COME IN HANDY

After 16 hours of partying hard, your speaker will need a slight breather. To charge it from a plug, you'll definitely need a nifty power adapter.

OR SOMETHING ELSE?

If you're looking for a home classic rather than a portable speaker, lurk this retro darling, the Marshall Acton II. It looks like it's been through World War II, but appearances can be deceiving. It'll surprise you with modern features and supercharged sound.

SPEAKER TESTED BY MAREK FROM APPLETOP.CZ

So this mini speaker will definitely surprise anyone who decides to get it. It looks very small and fragile, but when you turn it on, you'll be watching. The sound is really very powerful, surround sound and high quality. Bluetooth transmission is smooth and clear, there are no delays. The speaker is great for both casual home music listening and outdoor parties. Pairing with your mobile phone is very quick and you're up and listening in minutes. The speaker's battery life is decent, the 16 hours will cover any party or celebration. The strap on the speaker for easy portability is a nice bonus. You can hang it anywhere. Like on your backpack if you can't fit the speaker in it anymore. Thanks to the microphone, you can also take any phone calls while you're listening to music, which is another great advantage with a speakerphone. I can't recommend this small but supercharged box enough.
